Serious Games : "A Ludic Constraint" ? Video games, work and instrumentalizations (Broacasting our studies)
The serious game combines fun means with a productive, educational or communicational purpose.

However, he does not stop at this comparison bu [...]Keywords : Liberty, Gamification, Edutainment, Ludopedagogy, Ethics, Interpretive gap, Video game, Game

Gameplay Bricks Model, a Theoretical Framework to Match Game Mechanics and Cognitive Functions (Broacasting our studies)
This article investigated whether it is possible to establish correspondences between game mechanics and particular cognitive stimulations.
