Preface of the book ?The Gamification Toolbox? (Broacasting our studies)
These days, we're seeing an increase in references to the culture of games and video games. It's in this context that we find the phenomenon of gamification. But is it aimed exclusively at gaming enthusiasts, or is it open to all? To find out, let's play! The rules are simple: take a look at Camille's day below. Each time you come across the symbols * @ & #, ask yourself if the sentence matches you. If so, count the symbol in question. Early in the morning, the clock radio plays 8-bit mu [...]Keywords : Serious game, Game, Gamification
Playstation VR review: the body comes back in force! (Blog post)
This first of January 2017 was the occasion for Ludoscience to test the Playstation VR. Here's a look back at our observations and experiences with various titles associated with this technology. First of all, we tested the “Playstation VR Worlds” compilation and in particular the title: “Ocean Descent”, which invites us to visit the ocean depths.

Original Sound Track : 100 albums indispensables de jeux vidéo (Book reference)

Apprendere la lingua giapponese con i videogiochi. Una ricerca sul campo (Broacasting our studies)
Introduzione Condurre una ricerca sull’apprendimento attraverso le nuove tecnologie è abbastanza rischioso dal momento che l’evoluzione in questo campo è così rapida che nel giro di pochi anni il nostro studio potrebbe risultare obsoleto. Molti trentenni cresciuti in Italia ricorderanno quando a scuola le insegnanti facevano registrare conversazioni o letture di dialoghi con il vecchio mangianastri per poi dare la possibilità agli studenti di riascolt [...]Les jeux vidéo comme objet de recherche (Broacasting our studies)
INTRODUCTION Les jeux vidéo sont, en apparence, aisément appropriables. Ils constituent un objet culturel porteur de nombreux discours normatifs, souvent très polarisés (les jeux vidéo c’est… beau/rigolo/idiot etc.) Dans les années 1980, les discours de dénonciation étaient dominants, utilisant les mêmes arguments que les critiques antérieures adressées aux médias de masse (télévisi [...]Muzax 21 - The Serious Games!
