In this paper, we present a new model to analyse therapeutic games. The goal of the model is to describe and analyse the relations between the three aspects of a therapeutic game: the player, the game, and the therapy. The model is intended to game designers. It is a tool to improve the communication between health experts and game designers, and to evaluate the game design coherency of therapeutic games. It also helps to analyse existing games to discover relevant features. The model is built w

Abstract Professional training for risky professions involves simulation training. This kind of facilities has appeared very important to give to the workers the initial knowledge, to improve the skills of experienced workers, and to make them face rare situations for which they must be potentially ready to deal with. The past years, a broad range of simulation systems including virtuality have become available on the market, and the professions concerned are wider every year. The possibili

This article studies the interface between, on the one hand, the identity of a student who is currently doing research on video games and, on the other hand, the identity of a woman gamer. This analysis will be carried out through a specific case: the elaboration of an experimental methodology to study issues of gender, of representation, and of roles within video games through a classification of female protagonists. This process needs to take into account both the demands of academic writing a

AbstractResearch in game-based learning environments aims to recognise and show emotion. This chapter describes the main approaches and challenges involved in achieving these goals. In addition, we propose an emotional student model that can reason about students’ emotions using observable behaviour and responses to questions. Our model uses Control-Value Theory (Pekrun et al., The control value theory of achievement emotions. An integrative approach to emotions in education. In: Schutz, P

The purpose of this chapter is to introduce an overall classification system for Serious Games. ?The intention of this classification is to guide people through the vast field of Serious Games by providing them with a general overview. For example, it may appeal to teachers who wish to find games with strong educational potential though they may be outside the “edugames” field. This chapter will start by discussing the definition of Serious Games, and define them as having a combinat

Depuis les années 50, le nombre de Serious Games* édités dans le monde ne cesse de croitre. Balbutiant jusque dans les années 70, la croissance du nombre de jeux sérieux commandés ou édités dans le monde ne cesse de croitre de manière exponentielle jusque dans les années 2000. Ludoscience dans une première approche estime ce chiffre à plus de 2225 jeux sérieux en circulation et utilisé sur la

This chapter describes application areas for serious games in the context of such CNOs. A classification scheme for serious games has been developed based on two different approaches: one based on a process framework, the other one based on a game genome approach. Both are applied on a number of known serious games with the objective to identify uncovered areas and gaps. These gaps represent new opportunities for the application of serious games which has not yet been realized. References (
