Serious Games are becoming increasingly popular. In all domains they are used to transfer content to players by mixing learning with pleasure in order to make teaching more easy and fun. However many of them are designed in an ad-hoc way without structure. Several research efforts have been conducted to tackle this deficiency and to improve the design of these games. Despite the vast literature, the domain is still in its infancy and scattered. Serious games offer great opportunities for le [...]The Game Genre Map: A Revised Game Classification (Broacasting our studies)
The existing common video game genres lack clarity as well as consistency and thus cannot serve as a solid reference to inform the research on digital educational games (DEG), which are increasingly used as learning tools. To address this basic issue of game classification, we have developed a web-based survey to collect data on how people play and perceive video games that they know well. The survey is grounded in our Game Elements-Attributes Model (GEAM). 321 valid responses were analysed usin [...]Keywords : digital educational games (DEG), Genre, Videogames, Learning, Classification, Education, Serious Games, Edugames

This includes such elements as a call to focus, increasing levels of difficulty of skill, repetiti [...]Keywords : Game-based learning, Neuroscience, How to learn, Primary school
