Characterization and Evaluation of Serious Games: A Perspective of Their Use in Higher Education (Diffusion de nos travaux)
Abstract:Serious games are video games or computer games designed for training or educational purposes. Thanks to the interesting and useful opportunities that they provide such as interactivity, immersion, simulation they become well accepted and well spread among professional and academic fields. However, the selection of the most suitable serious games to a specific educational goal seems to be not well studied in the literature. This paper tries to meet this research gap by developing a new [...]Mots-clés : Games, Training, Business, Biological system modeling, Educational institutions, Entertainment industry
A gesture-controlled Serious Game for teaching emotion recognition skills to preschoolers with autism (Diffusion de nos travaux)
ABSTRACT The recognition of facial expressions is important for the perception of emotions. Understanding emotions is essential in human communication and social interaction. Children with autism have been reported to exhibit deficits in the recognition of affective expressions. With the appropriate intervention, elimination of those deficits can be achieved. Interventions are proposed to start as early as possible. Computer-based programs have been widely used with success to teach people [...]Mots-clés : Serious Games, Gesture-based interaction, Natural User Interface, Autism, Facial emotion recognition
Facial expression recognition teaching to preschoolers with autism: a natural user interface approach (Diffusion de nos travaux)
The recognition of facial expressions is important for the perception of emotions. Understanding emotions is essential in human communication and social interaction. Children with autism have been reported to exhibit deficits in the recognition of affective expressions. Their difficulties in understanding and expressing emotions lead to inappropriate behavior derived from their inability to interact adequately with other people. Those deficits seem to be rather permanent in individuals with auti [...]LE POTENTIEL ÉDUCATIF DES JEUX VIDÉO ET SÉRIEUX: REVUE DE LITTÉRATURE (Diffusion de nos travaux)

Abstract Social, economic and global changes make it difficult to predict what the future might hold. Creativity is one possible response to these changes. Indeed, creative skills enable students to face the complex nature of life. As a result, creativity has become significant in education, and is regarded as an important objective to be addressed in the curriculum. Nevertheless, creativity is not always promoted in schools. Rather, there are those who claim that many educational systems hinder [...]Mots-clés : Creativité, Game-Based Learning, Game design
A Research on Gamification Methodology for Korean Language Education (Diffusion de nos travaux)
In this paper we proposed a gamification methodology for Korean language education. We suggested gamification elements that increased the fun factor and induced immersion by analyzing the successful gamification cases which can be classified into three types; management, Implementation, and self-expression. Then, we analyzed Korean learning theory and methods to extract four key aspects, listening, speaking, vocabulary and culture from eight Korean learning function. Finally, by using Korean Wav [...]Mots-clés : Korean wave, Korean language, Korean learning, Gamification, Game, Education, Learning
An Efficient Game Level Generation in Web-Based Serious Game (Diffusion de nos travaux)
Despite the growing interest in interactive storytelling techniques, their actual applications to traditional gameplay design remain to be investigated. However, many game designers have expressed concerns about the incorporation of such generative techniques in traditional game titles, mainly because of the lack of control they will have over dynamically generated content. This paper proposes an authoring tool allowing game designers to formalize, visualize, modify, and validate game level solu [...]Mots-clés : Cultural Heritage , Game Level Design, Gameplay, Serious Game

An Environment to Support Collaborative Learning by Modding (Diffusion de nos travaux)
In this paper, we propose an environment to support collaborative modding, as a new way to learn a subject. Modding can be defined as the activity to modify an existing game with dedicated tools. In a constructivist approach, we base our work on the assumption that modding a learning game can help learners to acquire the concepts of the subject concerned. We also think that modding in collaborative settings can help learners both to learn the subject and to learn to collaborate. We first propose [...]Mots-clés : Modding game, Development kits, Learning game 2.0, Collaborative learning
