Serious entertaining and serious modding: concepts and appropriations in the fields of education and health (Broacasting our studies)
This paper is part of an overall approach aimed at assessing what kind of support, and in what proportions, a trainer might need when using games as mediation. To do this, we believe we need to start by establishing an initial model for evaluating the initial teaching or training situation using play as mediation. To develop such a model, we have chosen to enrich an existing grid, developed in 2006 by Sara de Freitas and Martin Oliver. This co-construction is based on a hypothetico-deductive app [...]Keywords : Serious game, Evaluation, Model, Serious gaming, Edugame, Activity, Learning, Game Based Learning
Serious Gaming, Serious Modding and Serious Diverting? Are You Serious?! (Broacasting our studies)
In French-speaking research, the expression ‘serious gaming’ is used in English in order to refer to the practice of diverting videogames aimed at three new, functional purposes: the diffusion of message(s), training and data collection. ‘Serious games’ are thus distinguished from ‘serious gaming’: while the end result may appear similar (combining games with educational purposes), serious gaming applies new functions a posteriori.

Incapacités intellectuelles et initiation aux transports publics: cahier des charges fonctionnel d'un jeu sérieux (Broacasting our studies)

However, using fixed-route requires knowledge and know-how that all travelers, such as people with intellectual disabilities, do not master. While for most of us learning to travel is done through personal experience, for people with intellectual disabilities there is a need for travel training in order to build up travel expe [...]Keywords : Intellectual Disabilities, Fixed-Route, Travel-Training, Public Transportation Requirement, Serious Game
