Une proposition de modèle de design pédagogique dans un processus de co-conception d'un jeu sérieux par des apprenants-concepteurs (Broacasting our studies)
Abstract Since the 90s, integrating computer-based educational gaming into the learning process has been amply studied and criticized for not producing conclusive evidence, especially within the context of edutainment and CBT (Egenfeldt-Nielsen, 2005; p.265).

There are different parties involved in the inland transport: forwarders, shipping line agents, shipping lines, sea terminals, inland carriers, etc. To operate effectively and efficiently cooperation and collaboration is required between all involved parties. The claim of this project is that the root of several problems occurring in the container flow can be explained by the low level of Shared Situational Awarenes [...]The effect of Testing and Feedback in Digital Game-based Learning (Broacasting our studies)
Research on digital game-based learning indicates that this learning method can be - under certain conditions - more efficient than other traditional teaching methods, such as textbooks, or web-based learning. Without additional support learning from games may or may not occur, this is why instructional support should be used in educational settings. The present study focuses on testing with feedback as a type of instructional support with great promise. Testing is widely used in almost all clas [...]Keywords : Digital game-based learning, Learning from games, Testing, Feedback
