A multi-agent system for learner assessment in serious games: Application to learning processes in crisis management (Diffusion de nos travaux)
Serious Games (SG) are more and more used for training in various domains, especially in crisis management domain. In order to improve training results, learner assessment can provide insights on what went right or wrong during a training session. Learner assessment requires monitoring (data acquisition in a virtual environment) and supporting learners' feedback (on learners' decisions and actions), which Intelligent Tutoring Systems address as a main issue, as a mean to individualise learning.

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
Intelligent Tutoring Systems and Serious Game for Crisis Management: A Multi-agents Integration Architecture (Diffusion de nos travaux)
Crisis management, serious games (SG) are more and more used for training. SG permit to reduce the cost of a such training and saving time, and in general provide a fun way to learn. In this paper we propose to bring together SG and Intelligent Tutoring Systems (ITS) in the context of the SIMFOR project, a SG for training in crisis management. We discuss the problems and needs of serious games and an overview of existing works. To enhance the learning aspect in SG, we propose the integration of [...]Mots-clés : Collaborative agent-based architecture, Intelligent tutoring systems, Serious Game, Crisis management training, Multiagent integration architecture, Training cost reduction, Time savings, SIMFOR project
Jogos sérios competitivo-colaborativos: um mapeamento sistemático da literatura (Diffusion de nos travaux)
Many studies support serious games as a tool for motivating and learning improvement. Some work have already evaluated the influence of competition and collaboration aspects on learning using such games but little research has been published regarding the usage of both aspects at the same time. A systematic literature mapping has been done, searching for serious games that have embodied both collaboration and competition in its gameplay. From 742 papers analyzed, 17 of them were selected. The ma [...]Mots-clés : Serious Game, Learning, Evaluation, Studies

Video Gaming for STEM Education (Diffusion de nos travaux)
ABSTRACT The focus of this chapter is how video games can be utilized for instructional purposes, specifically in the STEM areas (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics). Gaming, as an instructional tool, enables educators to create participatory learning activities, assess understanding of complex and ill-formed situations, facilitate critical thinking and problem solving capabilities, and ensure active engagement across the learning continuum for all students. How to use it ef [...]Mots-clés : Video games, Learning
Navigational techniques to improve usability and user experience in RPG games (Diffusion de nos travaux)
Abstract:This paper presents the design and implementation of a mini map navigation system into an RPG Action Adventure game created using Unity3D game engine with the goal of improving the usability and user experience. The main aim of this work is to find out how a mini map navigation system can be beneficial to the end user and improve the over game play of a video game. The mini map can help reducing the user frustration, as well as aiding story progression so that it keeps the user immersed [...]Mots-clés : Jeux, Navigation, Prototypes, Utilisabilité, Animation, Caméras, Computers, Ordinateurs
