CEPAJe, un outil pour évaluer une séance ludopédagogique (Broacasting our studies)
This chapter describes the CEPAJe model, which is used to design and evaluate an edutainment sequence. In concrete terms, it presents the CEPAJe model, and illustrates with examples of the use of serious games how it can be used to prepare, upstream, an educational sequence. How it can be used to prepare an edutainment session upstream, and then to evaluate the session downstream, so that the activity can be the activity for the next time.Keywords : Serious game, Play based learning, Evaluation, CEPAJe
Serious Games : "A Ludic Constraint" ? Video games, work and instrumentalizations (Broacasting our studies)

The book approaches the subject from an original angle, starting from the functions of playful activity in the animal world to question the paradoxical purposes in the production and use of video games. Julian Alvarez thus connects the solitary game offered by the most sophisticated virtual mediations with the most apparently rudimentary animal practices. However, he does not stop at this comparison bu [...]Keywords : Liberty, Gamification, Edutainment, Ludopedagogy, Ethics, Interpretive gap, Video game, Game
An educational robotics experiment conducted with five-year old pupils to learn coding / decoding / design: Statistical results and interpretations (Broacasting our studies)

This experiment was carried out in 2017 in France and was based on the reported performances of 230 pupils in 28 Year-1 1 classes for coding, decoding and programming. 35 teachers were involved in the Blue Bot project. This study aims at replying the following issue: Out of the various available modalities (body, robot and tablet), what types of performances were identified when five-ye [...]Keywords : Robot-based pedagogy, Coding / decoding, Modalities, Comparative study, Programming design, Evaluation research, Serious games, Year 1 pupils
Player Personality Profile Grid (PPP Grid) (Broacasting our studies)
The purpose of this article is to propose a model to help trainers assess the player profiles they are likely to encounter among their learners. The goal is to maximize the chances of making an edutainment session as effective as possible. This approach resulted in a first iteration of a model. This model was built and derived based on statistical analysis of 1,126 individuals who completed a questionnaire about their communication personality, age, gamer profile, and weekly play time. Using thi [...]Keywords : Profiles, Players, Personnality, Learners, DiSC Model, Bartle's Typology

Today, you'll find escapade game [...]Keywords : Escape game, Serious game, Education escape game, Ludopedagogy, Pedagogy, Edutainment
A formal approach to distinguish Games, Toys, Serious Games & Toys, Serious Re-purposing & Modding and Simulators (Broacasting our studies)
Abstract— While the serious game concept has considerably evolved in the last two decades, it still needs to be clearly differentiated from other types of artifacts. Thus, there is a degree of confusion about the relationship between serious games and other related applications such as simulators or the re-purposing of entertainment games within educational practices for most outside the domain. This article proposes a formal approach toward classifying Games, Toys, Serious Games, Serious [...]Keywords : Formal definition, Health, Health Game, Serious Game, Serious Modding, Serious Re-purposing, Serious Toy, Simulator
