The taxonomy of the games selected includes Serious Games (SG), designed for educational purposes from the start, but also repurposed games, which, despite not hav [...]Keywords : Serious Game, Education

How enterprises play: Towards a taxonomy for enterprise gamification (Broacasting our studies)
Our research into the enterprise gamification domain was designed to investigate the different objectives, purposes, target audiences, game design patterns and technology used in gamified implementations. We found that a formal classification system was not only absent, but that it was essential to provide a baseline for developing and comparing gamification design strategies. To this purpose we identified 304 publicly available case studies of organizations that self-identified as having undert [...]Keywords : Taxonomy, Gamification, Enterprise systems, Classification, Design, Information systems, Strategic management, Serious games
Serious Gamification: On the Redesign of a Popular Paradox (Broacasting our studies)
We challenge the idea of the paradoxical nature of the concept serious games and ask how researchers and designers need to conceive of serious games so that they at all appear paradoxical. To develop and answer this question, we draw on a theory–method that considers all forms of observation as paradoxical. We then use the tetralemma, a structure from traditional Indian logics, to resolve the paradox of serious games into this larger paradox of observation. Consequently, serious games may [...]Towards a Serious Game for Kurdish Language Learning (Broacasting our studies)

Designing games for learning: An investigation of instructional designers, game designers, and teachers design decisions and epistemological beliefs (Broacasting our studies)
ABSTRACT Fields within education and training have been exploring the use of educational computer-based games, often referred to as serious games (SG), in multiple disciplines of academic research including the affective, cognitive, and psychomotor domains. Traditionally, game designers tend to represent a different viewpoint about learning than instructional designers, or even teachers. More so, one of the fundamental roles designers play in making decisions is based on multiple factors, w [...]Keywords : Serious games, Instructional levels, Epistemology
