Playing for impact : the design of civic games for community engagement and social action / Designing large-scale games for community engagement (Diffusion de nos travaux)
Abstract:In light of calls that civic participation is declining, efforts are underway to replace outdated, unproductive forms of citizenship. With the majority of Americans now connected to the Internet, community leaders see the digital realm as the new frontier for promoting engagement. Increasingly, digital games are being designed for the express purpose of promoting community engagement and social action. My thesis examines this emerging practice of civic game design. Within this thesis, I [...]A multi-agent system for learner assessment in serious games: Application to learning processes in crisis management (Diffusion de nos travaux)

Characterization and Evaluation of Serious Games: A Perspective of Their Use in Higher Education (Diffusion de nos travaux)
