In SG analytics studies, learning processes are tracked using diverse techniques to support the personalization of instruction. However, it is a challenge to find potential meanings of each parameter of the tracking logs and define an appropriate indicator for a user’s behavior. Game tracking logs often only provide limited information regardless of a game context. Therefore, rese [...]Keywords : Serious games analytics, Visualization, Learning path
Recommendations for the Use of Serious Games in Neurodegenerative Disorders: 2016 Delphi Panel (Broacasting our studies)

RDU Model dedicated to evaluate needed counsels for Serious Game projects (Broacasting our studies)
AbstractThis paper aims at identifying the counsels that are necessary to achieve the Realization, Dissemination and Use of a Serious Game. In our opinion, these counsels are an additional facet for all Serious Game projects in order to target their ownership adoption and appropriate use (as intended by its designers) in a dedicated ecosystem (School, Hospital …). We propose to classify all these counsels in three main categories: R for Realization, D for Dissemination, and U for Use. By [...]Keywords : Counsels, Serious Game, Model, Ecosystem, Typology, Learning
