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

Business Management Simulations - a detailed industry analysis as well as recommendations for the future (Broacasting our studies)
Abstract Being exposed to serious games showed that some simulations widely vary in quality and learning outcome. In order to get to the bottom of best practices a detailed review of business management simulation literature was conducted. Additionally, an industry analysis was performed, by interviewing 17 simulation companies, testing a range of full and demo games, and conducting secondary research. The findings from both research efforts were then collated and crossreferenced against ea [...]Keywords : Business Management Simulation Game, Technology Enhanced Learning, Serious Gaming, Best Practice
Game Dimensions and Pedagogical Dimension in Serious Games (Broacasting our studies)
AbstractDesigning serious games is a complex process because finding the right balance between the ‘serious' and the ‘game' dimensions is vital, as pointed out in some meta-analyses (Wouters, et al. 2013). If educational content prevails over the entertainment element, users' motivation may decrease and this can have a negative impact on the effectiveness of learning. On the other hand, if entertainment predominates over content, this can also limit learning opportunities. Another ma [...]Keywords : Serious game, Design, Education, Digital games, Modèles
Voluntary Play in Serious Games (Broacasting our studies)
AbstractVoluntariness is an important feature of games. Serious game designers intend to generate engaging gameplay, which implies that voluntary play should be equally important for serious games as for entertainment games. This paper describes the outcome of a study on the impact of voluntariness on learning in a serious game. The results of 19 participants, randomly assigned to voluntary and mandatory gameplay, are analyzed to identify possible differences. The findings of this study suggest [...]Keywords : Serious games, Effectiveness, Learning effect, Freedom of choice

A Web-Based Serious Game for Joint Training (Broacasting our studies)
AbstractA Web-Based Serious Game for Joint Training As military systems and processes are becoming increasingly complex and thus more difficult to comprehend, large-scale exercises for NATO Joint Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (JISR) are regularly performed yet are often obstructed by insufficient staff preparedness. To address this concern, this thesis presents the design, prototypal implementation, and evaluation of a modular and web-based serious game called Exercise Trai [...]Keywords : Serious Game, Defence, Military, Simulation, Simulation game
