Correspondances et contrastes entre jeux traditionnels et jeux numériques (Broacasting our studies)
Progressively, a kind of paradox is created through the scientific literature related to the game and play fields. The number of works dedicated only to video games conceals gradually the works dedicated to traditional games, although there are always strong links between those two kinds of games. It seems thus clear that a mutual lighting should make us wonder about the singularity or complementarities of the two areas. We propose to look at some of these existing links and contrasts between tr [...]Keywords : video game, tabletop game, board game, Serious games, Gameplay, Play, e-sport

Evaluating teaching using games (Blog post)
Edutainment is the idea of using games for training. But is it possible to evaluate edutainment? Here's a proposed model, based in particular on the initial work of Freitas and Oliver (2006). The following table summarizes our proposed CEPAJe evaluation model: This model is a double-entry grid. Vertically, there are 5 dimensions: Context, Teacher, Pedagogy, Learner and Game (CEPAJe). Each dimension is analyzed in relation to the key stages of training: introduction, progress and [...]Keywords : Serious game, Edutainment, Ludopedagogy, Evaluation, Education, Learning, Analyze, Training

Enrichissement d'un modèle évaluatif pour assurer une formation avec le jeu comme médiation (Broacasting our studies)
This paper falls within the scope of a global approach that ultimately aims to assess what types of support and in what proportions a trainer may have recourse to when they make use of play as a medium. To do this, it seems appropriate in our view to begin by establishing a first model to assess the initial teaching or training situation using play as a medium. To set up such a model, we choose to enrich an existing grid that was developed in 2006 by Sara de Freitas and Marti [...]Keywords : Game based learning, Evaluation, Serious game, Model, Mediation
