Linking normative and descriptive research with serious gaming (Broacasting our studies)
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 [...]Keywords : Modding, Game development kits, Learning game 2.0, Collaborative learning
Design of a Serious Game for Handling Obstetrical Emergencies (Broacasting our studies)
ABSTRACTBackground: The emergence of new technologies in the obstetrical field should lead to the development of learning applications, specifically for obstetrical emergencies. Many childbirth simulations have been recently developed. However, to date none of them have been integrated into a serious game.Objective: Our objective was to design a new type of immersive serious game, using virtual glasses to facilitate the learning of pregnancy and childbirth pathologies. We have elaborat [...]Keywords : Serious game, Obstetric emergencies, Gynecology
Learning Business Process Management through Serious Games: Feedbacks on the Usage of INNOV8 (Broacasting our studies)
Abstract:Business processes play a major role in the Information System (IS) domain. Business Process Management (BPM) approaches offer languages, methods and tools for modeling, execution and optimizing business processes. However, these approaches are often difficult to understand by the learners. In particular, the modeling phase often remains abstract, not consensual and complex to implement in real settings. In order ato better motivate BPM learners, several BPM's Serious Games (SG) has bee [...]Keywords : Games, Companies, Training, Information systems, Business process management, Graphics, serious games (computing), business data processing
Serious Games for Learning : a model and a reference architecture for efficient game development (Broacasting our studies)
Summary Digital Serious Games (SGs) are gaining increasing importance as educational and training tools. However, there is still a long way to make them widely deployed. On the one hand, balancing fun and educational elements in a SG is not trivial and requires understanding how these games can be designed to support effective and efficient learning. On the other hand, actual development can be costly and time-consuming, involving large teams of people from different backgrounds, who often [...]Keywords : Serious game, Learning
A Serious Game for the development of the professional skills of operators in aseptic zone : definition of a holistic model of design and usage studie (Broacasting our studies)
Abstract Serious games (SGs) are a very widespread training and evaluation device, employed in different sectors of school and adult education. In this study we aim to design and develop a SG for training and evaluating personals working in aseptic environment. We will present in this research the theoretical basis needed for that design process. We will define a holistic and united model (PEGADE), which describes the collaborative and optimal process to conceive SGs and which is constructe [...]Keywords : Serious game, Serious game Design, Simulation, Gamification, Instructional Design, Virtual Reality
Soutien à l'auto-régulation des apprenants: conception d'environnements informatiques réflexifs et engageants (Broacasting our studies)
Abstract : Nos travaux de recherche se situent principalement dans le domaine des Environnements Informatiques pour l’Apprentissage Humain (EIAH). Les apprenants ont aujourd’hui accès à des plateformes éducatives sociales de plus en plus perfectionnées et complexes, et à un ensemble de ressources variées. Dans ce contexte, nos travaux visent à proposer des modèles et environnements informatiques pour favorise [...]Keywords : EIAH, Engagement utilisateur, Environnements réflexifs, Ludification adaptative, Analyse de traces
Designing Enhanced Learning Environments in Physics: An Interdisciplinary Collaborative Approach Producing an Instrument for School Success (Broacasting our studies)
AbstractParallel, an innovative teaching and learning tool, was designed by a multidisciplinary team gathering together university and college professors, post-graduate students, teachers, as well as young adults and college students. The creation of Parallel, made possible fruitful collaboration between students, teachers and researchers. The collaborative experience was part of an effort to understand how a serious game on a mobile platform using augmented reality could be exploited in a forma [...]Keywords : Activity theory, Longlife learning, Physics, Mobile learning, Augmented reality
L'éthique professionnelle mise en jeu : l?exemple de L'Odyssée Ethique (Broacasting our studies)
In this article, we try to show the links between play and ethics, based on the design of a serious game aimed at training students to the social professions, health and education. This is to meet the innovations of this educational tool in teaching professional ethics and new opportunities it offers, provided, enroll in a pragmatism perspective. First, the article refers to the distinction between ethics and professional conduct to emphasize, building on Dewey, that it is in situated actions th [...]Keywords : Professional Ethics, Serious Game, Pragmatism, Dewey
Using UML to Model Educational Games (Broacasting our studies)
Abstract:There has been a constant increase in the number of serious games. In recent years, they have become extremely important within the scientific community and their repercussions on industry have been reflected in exponential growth in terms of their economic impact. The term serious game covers an extremely wide range of video games all with very different purposes and with many different areas of application. One of the most prolific areas is the field of education and many research pap [...]Keywords : Games, Unified modeling language, Proposals, Education, Avatars, Software, Adaptation models
