Serious entertaining and serious modding: concepts and appropriations in the fields of education and health (Broacasting our studies)
This paper, of a hypothetico-deductive nature, proposes first to provide a state of the art of games hijacked for educational and health purposes, then to define the concepts of Serious Diverting and Serious Modding to introduce a typology of games hijacked for utilitarian purposes. Once we've covered these elements, we'll examine the appropriation of these diverted games by players in the world of education and health. The idea is to identify common and specific elements for each ecosystem invo [...]Keywords : Serious game, Video game, Serious gaming, Health, Education, Appropriation, Health game, Edugame
Digital Educational Games: Methodologies for Development and Software Quality (Broacasting our studies)
Development of a game in the form of software for game-based learning poses significant technical challenges for educators, researchers, game designers, and software engineers. The game development consists of a set of complex processes requiring multi-faceted knowledge in multiple disciplines such as digital graphic design, education, gaming, instructional design, modeling and simulation, psychology, software engineering, visual arts, and the learning subject area. Planning and managing such a [...]Keywords : Digital game development, Educational game development, Game development life cycle, Game development methodology, Game development processes, Game development workflows, Game software quality evaluation, Game-based learning

Requirements Engineering for Pervasive Games Based Smart Learning Systems (Broacasting our studies)
The overlap of different features of pervasive games based smart learning systems (PGBSLSs) including the ludic aspect, the pervasive aspect and the educational aspect adds complexity to use requirements at design time and Runtime. Many methodologies and frameworks that make use of requirements models can be found in the literature, but very few of them use ontologies to ground the models that are used in PGBSLSs development. We propose in this paper a semantic model in the requirements engineer [...]Keywords : Pervasive games, Smart Learning, Requirements Engineering, Ontology
SUCCESS FACTORS IN FINNISH SERIOUS GAMES (Broacasting our studies)
Serious games (SG) are computer-and video games with a primary focus other than entertainment. This is, they are made to educate, teach, inform and promote ideas. The current research focused on SGs' success factors and their emergence in SGs published in Finland in 2015. The research approach was qualitative and the research method was theory-based content analysis. First, the concepts of SG, SG design methodology and learning were discussed based on existing knowledge. Success factor related k [...]Keywords : Serious game, Success factor, Gaming experience, Content implementation, Implementation process, Analysis framework
