How to innovate through retrogaming? (Broacasting our studies)
The aim of this interactive talk is first to present a number of examples illustrating the videogame culture that is spreading throughout our society. We will then put the concepts of gamification, edutainment, serious game and serious gaming into perspective. The idea is to raise awareness of the importance of anthropocentric approaches, as we explore these concepts. Finally, we will attempt to develop an evaluation model for edutainment activities.Keywords : Rerogaming, Neo retrogaming, Innovation, Video game, Serious game, Health, Research, History
Recommendations for the Use of Serious Games in Neurodegenerative Disorders: 2016 Delphi Panel (Broacasting our studies)
AbstractThe use of Serious Games (SG) in the health domain is expanding. In the field of neurodegenerative disorders (ND) such as Alzheimer’s disease, SG are currently employed both to support and improve the assessment of different functional and cognitive abilities, and to provide alternative solutions for patients’ treatment, stimulation, and rehabilitation. As the field is quite young, recommendations on the use of SG in people with ND are still rare. In 2014 we proposed some ini [...]Keywords : Serious Games, Neurodegenerative disorders, Recommendations, ICT, Delphi Technique

A Paradigm for the Development of Serious Games for Health as Benefit Delivery Systems (Broacasting our studies)
Abstract—Serious games are developed with the purpose of bestowing a benefit on the user. That benefit could be related to the user’s health, education, safety or efficiency. We propose that the mechanism that the game employs to achieve such a benefit should be identified as the key to the development of a successful serious game. We introduce a paradigm for the design and development of serious games as benefit delivery systems. We suggest that the paradigm can apply to all applica [...]Keywords : Serious game, Health, Health game, Healthcare

Serious entertaining and serious modding: concepts and appropriations in the fields of education and health (Broacasting our studies)
This paper, of a hypothetico-deductive nature, proposes first to provide a state of the art of games hijacked for educational and health purposes, then to define the concepts of Serious Diverting and Serious Modding to introduce a typology of games hijacked for utilitarian purposes. Once we've covered these elements, we'll examine the appropriation of these diverted games by players in the world of education and health. The idea is to identify common and specific elements for each ecosystem invo [...]Keywords : Serious game, Video game, Serious gaming, Health, Education, Appropriation, Health game, Edugame
A Brief History of Serious Games (Broacasting our studies)
AbstractSerious Games are now an established field of study. In this field most would attribute the rise of Serious Games to Clark C Abt’s creation of the term in 1970, or indeed Ben Sawyer’s popularization of it in 2002. However, considering the rich history of purposing non-digital games, itself preceded by discussions of purposing play that are traceable to the work of Plato, it can be said that Serious Games is a contemporary manifestation of centuries old theories and practices.
