A Gamification Approach to Getting Students Engaged in Academic Study (Diffusion de nos travaux)
Abstract Serious games and gamification are emerging in many areas of society. In addition to an effective way of entertainment, games can be adopted as a persuading tool to guide person to achieve specific goal, citing their ultimate attraction. In this paper, we are interested in the mechanism and application of gamification in the field of academic education. Games feature a potential to promote students to learn in a spontaneous and effective manner, since the challenge and fun in games [...]Mots-clés : Academic education, Gamification, Digital circuit course, Serious games
A NEW APPROACH OF LEARNERS' ASSESSMENT USING BLOOM'S TAXONOMY-BASED SERIOUS GAME (Diffusion de nos travaux)
Abstract This paper describes: a scenario, agent specification, mapping of knowledge domain, an implementation of Bloom's taxonomy-based serious game (BoTySeGa), and players' response against the game. The development of BoTySeGa is pursued to the availability of an alternative assessment tool for learning in elementary school. It considers aspects: game knowledge, subject matter of parallelogram for 5th grade elementary school learners, and cognitive domain of Bloom's taxonomy. BoTySeGa's [...]Mots-clés : Learning Assessment, Bloom's Taxonomy, Serious Game
Playing in 7D An Action-Oriented Framework for Video Games (Diffusion de nos travaux)
Grounded on a perspective in which action is a defining trait in video games, this work proposes the development of an action-oriented framework focused on the analysis of the relationships between the player and the game system centred on the existence of actors, which we define as entities responsible for the actions that affect the game – a category in which the player and the game system are included. We describe the grounding principles of this framework as focused on a transformation [...]Mots-clés : Action, chronologie, Jeux vidéo, transcodage, Design, Réflexion et action, Transversal, Réactivité
Highlights in the Literature Availablein Serious Games for Intellectual Disabilities (Diffusion de nos travaux)
This review examines the literature on Serious Games used as learning tools for people with intellectual disabilities. Although intellectual disabilities are a very broad field where each individual has very specific characteristics, it would be beneficial to have general evidence-based recommendations about how to design videogames adapted to their cognitive requirements. Thus, the purpose of this paper is to identify and review the available literature on Serious Games for intellectual disabil [...]Mots-clés : Serious Game, Intellectual disabilities, Videogames, Health game
Serious game framework confronted with specificities of industrial training: application to steel industry (Diffusion de nos travaux)
Serious games are growing more and more in the context of lifelong training and initial education. They cover several areas (human science, engineering science, life science, ...) that are used for industrial or academic purposes. However, some fields induce specific issues. Thus, in th [...]Mots-clés : Serious Games, Formatting, Virtual Reality, Interaction
Design and Development of Effective and Customizable Educational Business Games (Diffusion de nos travaux)
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 [...]Mots-clés : Serious games, Educational Business Game, Educational Game Design Framework, Educational Game Design Checklist, Game evaluation
A dynamic web-based 3D virtual museum framework based on open data (Diffusion de nos travaux)
Abstract:Continuous developments in the web and computer technologies along with an increasing availability of game engines contribute to an expansion of techniques that bridge culture and education with gaming. In addition, open linked data technologies pave the way towards the semantic web of the future by exploiting the abundance in data availability. In this work we present an innovative and content-dynamic web-based framework, which relies and exploits the rich content of distributed web cu [...]Mots-clés : Games, Three-dimensional displays, Engines, Cultural differences, Buildings, Virtual environments, Navigation
The 'Synthesis' Virtual Museum?an open virtual exhibition creation tool (Diffusion de nos travaux)
Abstract The continuous development of web services and computer infrastructures complemented by the increasing availability of game development software engines, contribute to an on-going expansion in the release of serious games (SG) in diverse areas, ranging from entertainment, cultural heritage (CH), education, artificial intelligence (AI), sociology, military to health systems [1]. In this sense SGs can be thought of as bridging culture and education with gaming. By utilizing contempo [...]Mots-clés : Cultural heritage, Serious Game
Enabling Control of 3D Visuals, Scenarios and Non-linear Gameplay in Serious Game Development Through Model-Driven Authoring (Diffusion de nos travaux)
Abstract: Due to the absence of high-level authoring environments and support for non-technical domain experts to create custom serious games, a model-driven authoring framework is presented in this paper. Through model-driven authoring, non-technical people can manipulate the 3D visuals of their serious game, model the scenarios of the game, and even easily add non-linear narrative to the game. The different tools and methods have been implemented and are currently used to build a serious [...]Mots-clés : Serious game, Cyberbullying, Adaptivity, Scenario generation, Non-linear gameplay, Sandbox, Model-driven authoring
