As explained in the general introduction, experience design implies an "experience to be lived" (Vial, 2015) where the subjects "interact with their natural and artificial environment". If we can easily imagine a "natural" or "artificial" environment, there is an in-between proposed by the game. Neither totally "natural" because it can rely on artifacts, nor totally "artificial" because some animals pla

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

In this article, we describe a pedagogical experiment aimed at understanding the motivation drivers for the involvement of game design students in the development of serious game projects. This experiment was developed as a case study for the assessment of specific measures and hypotheses towards involving students in the design of a themed serious game (non-violence).

Abstract This article summarizes past definitions of entertainment, serious games and virtual heritage in order to discuss whether virtual heritage has particular problems not directly addressed by conventional serious games. For virtual heritage, typical game-style entertainment poses particular ethical problems, especially around the simulation of historic violence and the possible trivialization of culturally sensitive and significant material. While virtual heritage can be considered to

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

This article describes the development, implementation, assessment, debriefing and outcomes, and potential uses of a university student-driven educational gaming project, as a major assessment item in an archaeology course entitled ‘Ancient Medicine’. Discussion of these various aspects of the project is explored in the context of educational gaming theory and practice. We demonstrate that educational board games not only represent an effective method for students to retain and conve

ABSTRACT From the perspective of educators, games are viewed as a medium in which the younger generation both thrive and excel. Students navigate game environments with ease and regularly solve problems, engage in advanced collaborative efforts, and communicate complex concepts and strategies to one another during their private gaming sessions at home. Games invite the player to form an understanding of intricate systems and mechanics based on participation and experimentation rather than m

Abstract:We propose the Architecture for Representations, Games, Interactions, and Learning among Experts (ARGILE) for participatory and knowledge - intensive serious games. Faced with the problem of training in the areas of advanced expertise and practices, reference knowledge is neither stabilized nor unanimous, but rather dynamic and continuously evolving. Moreover, the expert does not make decisions based on pre-established recipes, but it is brought to trial and error, to discuss with peers
