In order to achieve this, employees of the HR-department can use different tools and methods. A relatively new method is the use of gamified self-assessment simulations.In t

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

We challenge the idea of the paradoxical nature of the concept serious games and ask how researchers and designers need to conceive of serious games so that they at all appear paradoxical. To develop and answer this question, we draw on a theory–method that considers all forms of observation as paradoxical. We then use the tetralemma, a structure from traditional Indian logics, to resolve the paradox of serious games into this larger paradox of observation. Consequently, serious games may

Gamification is defined as the use of game elements in a non-game context. Games offer the chance to improve the motivation of students, support group work, train communication skills and introduce the capacity for experime

La différence entre le jeu et le travail est culturellement posée. Selon les endroits et les époques, ces activités sont décrites comme des agencements rationnels de moyens en vue d’accomplir des objectifs, suivant des règles insérées au cœur d’environnements structurés – bien que de plus en plus complexes et moins bien définis. En dépit de la proximité de ces concepts, la gamificatio

This inconsistent nomenclature and undefined scope has led to the erroneous belief that gamification and serious games are synonymous. The aim of this paper is to pre

L’utilisation du jeu comme mécanisme d’apprentissage n’est pas nouveau et existait bien avant l’avènement du numérique et avait ses adeptes dès l’antiquité. Platon préconisait d’utiliser le jeu comme vecteur d’apprentissage : « Garde toi de donner par force aux enfants l'aliment des études, mais que ce soit en le mêlant à leur jeux, afin d'être encore plus capable d'apercevoir quel
