L'emploi des jeux dans l'enseignement des langues étrangères : Du traditionnel au numérique (Broacasting our studies)
This article questions the place of games in language teaching and more specifically examines how the transition between the use of traditional games in the classroom and their adaptation to digital media has been carried out. Are these games the same or have they changed ? Has the digital switchover preserved the entertaining aspects of these games or have these aspects changed in order to accommodate more serious content ? We will thus examine the potential added value of digital ver [...]Keywords : learning games, language learning, tasks, action-based learning, playful attitude
Digital Educational Games: Methodologies for Evaluating the Impact of Game Type (Broacasting our studies)
The main research question addressed in this thesis is how the choice of game type influences the success of digital educational games (DEG), where success is defined as significant knowledge gain in combination with positive player experience. Games differ in type if they differ at least by one game feature. As a first step we identified a comprehensive set of unique game features, summarised in the Game Elements-Attributes Model (GEAM), where elements are the defining components that all games [...]Keywords : digital educational games (DEG), Game Elements-Attributes Model (GEAM), Video Games, Classification

AMBIENTE DE SIMULAÇÃO BASEADO NO JOGO SUPER BOMBERMAN PARA ENSINO E PESQUISA EM INTELIGÊNCIA ARTIFICIAL (Broacasting our studies)
ABSTRACT One of the main problems involving the process of teaching and learning in the field of Artificial Intelligence (AI), it is the fact that the students possess a superficial understanding of algorithms and techniques presented in class, due to lack of exercise them in practice. In view of this, in this paper, we made a brief description of the main characteristics of intelligent agents and simulation environments, and we approach how the games can take a "serious" characte [...]Keywords : Artificial Intelligence, Serious Games, Intelligent Agent, Simulation Environment, Bomberman X
