An activity theory-based model for serious games analysis and conceptual design (Broacasting our studies)
There are currently a number of models, frameworks and methodologies for serious games analysis and design that provide useful interpretations of the possibilities and limitations offered by serious games. However, these tools focus mostly on high-level aspects and requirements and do not help understand how such high-level requirements can be concretely satisfied. In this paper, we present a conceptual model, called Activity Theory-based Model of Serious Games (ATMSG), that aims to fill this ga [...]Keywords : Serious games, Educational serious games, Serious games analysis, Serious games design, Activity theory
Gamification of Creativity: Exploring the Usefulness of Serious Games for Ideation (Broacasting our studies)
AbstractOrganizing for idea generation is a recurring challenge in intensive innovation contexts. The literature on ideation has reached a compelling consensus on the features that such organizational devices must possess to support sufficient creativity: learning processes and a creative climate of confidence to promote collaboration. However, current practical methodologies struggle to simultaneously realize these two features. In this paper, we explore the potential of Serious Games, a collab [...]Analysis and classification of serious games for cognitive stimulation (Broacasting our studies)

100 jeux vidéo, 1000 anecdotes ! (Book reference)
As the title suggests, this book gathers trivia and factoids about 100 popular video games: Zelda, Mario, Resident Evil, Shenmue, Dragon's Lair, Viewtiful Joe, Journey, Half-Life, etc. 10 pieces of trivia are presented for each game, with a lot of pictures. The book is quite beautiful, and both pleasant and quick to read. However, it's clearly an "entry-level" book, as the pieces of trivia are very short: each one is told over one or two lines. Moreover, the author doesn't give any sou [...]Keywords : history, trivia, entry-level
UNPACKING DIGITAL GAMEBASED LEARNING The complexities of developing and using educational games (Broacasting our studies)
ABSTRACT Digital game-based learning has traditionally been examined from an ‘artefact-centric’ perspective that focuses on understanding how game design and principles of learning are, or can be, intertwined. These types of examinations have resulted in many descriptions of games’ educational potential, which has subsequently led to many types of arguments for why games should be used more extensively in formal education. However, comparatively little research has been do [...]Keywords : Digital game-based learning, Serious game
