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

A NEW APPROACH OF LEARNERS' ASSESSMENT USING BLOOM'S TAXONOMY-BASED SERIOUS GAME (Broacasting our studies)
Abstract This paper describes: a scenario, agent specification, mapping of knowledge domain, an implementation of Bloom's taxonomy-based serious game (BoTySeGa), and players' response against the game. The development of BoTySeGa is pursued to the availability of an alternative assessment tool for learning in elementary school. It considers aspects: game knowledge, subject matter of parallelogram for 5th grade elementary school learners, and cognitive domain of Bloom's taxonomy. BoTySeGa's [...]Keywords : Bloom's Taxonomy, Serious Game, Learning Assessment
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
