They turned their research into a game (Broacasting our studies)
Creating a “serious game” about research in a limited time: that's the aim of the Serious Game Jam, the next edition of which will take place on January 30, 31 and February 1ᵉʳ, 2025. Two participants look back on their experience last year, with the “Jardin'Âges” game.Keywords : Serious Game, Serious Game Jam, Game Jam, Game Design, Serious Game Design
Develop computational thinking through the design of educational video games (Broacasting our studies)
Video games are becoming an increasingly important part of children’s daily leisure activities. Their use as an educational tool seems to be a good way to combat the decline in motivation and the loss of meaning in learning that has been observed among students. The constructionist approach proposed by Papert aims to explore the creation of video games by learners. Several studies have shown that it is associated with the development of computational thinking. However, a recent meta-analys [...]Keywords : Serious Game, Game design, Constructionism, Computational Thinking, 21st century skills, Ludopedagogy, Edutainment
Onion soup and management: the utilitarian instrumentalization of videogames (Broacasting our studies)
In the context of serious games, this chapter asks whether it is possible, in a formal situation, to superimpose utilitarian and game objectives while preserving both parties. We hypothesize that the answer to this research question is affirmative. To verify this, we are studying it from two angles: that of the artifact (Serious Game) and that of the activity (edutainment session). In our attempt to test our hypothesis, using an edutainment session based on a video game, we have identified a rec [...]Keywords : Edutainement, Serious games, Serious Gaming, Instrumentalization, Video games, Mediation, Learning, Ludopedagogy

Misconception 4: Video games have no place in the classroom with Julian Alvarez (Broacasting our studies)
Podcast: "Are you thinking of using video games in your university teaching? You may not realize that video games can be a useful learning tool. In this fourth episode, we welcome Julian Alvarez, a teacher-researcher in Information and Communication Sciences at the University of Lille, who answers the common misconception that “video games have no place in the classroom”. A pioneer in research into the link between games and learning, he shares with us examples of how video game [...]Keywords : Ludopedagogy, Edutainment, Serious game, Education, Ethics
Instrumentalizing video games: precautions to take and pitfalls to avoid (Broacasting our studies)
The talk “Instrumentalizing video games: precautions to take and pitfalls to avoid” addressed the effects and counter-effects of using video games for utilitarian purposes, particularly in the workplace and in education. For example, playing with gamers can bring a pedagogical dimension, but poorly orchestrated use can lead to frustration and a potential rejection of the intended learning by participants. This talk is based on the book “Serious Game, "un carcan ludique&quo [...]Keywords : Instrumentalization, Video games, Ethics, Ludopedagogy, Effects, Counter-effects, Serious gaming, Serious game
Serious games. A ludic constraint? (Broacasting our studies)
Presentation intended to illustrate research work at the Gériico laboratory linked to the instrumentalization of games, particularly in the context of business and at school. The objective is to open up research perspectives to be developed within the laboratory and in particular with axis 3.Keywords : Serious game, Game, Instrumentalization, Ethics
Serious Games ?A Ludic Constraint?? Ludopedagogy in debate (Broacasting our studies)
What is the aim of using games at work? How far can we go with this approach? Does it work? What are the ethical issues involved in using games in the workplace? In this seminar, we'll be tackling these questions with Julian Alvarez, a teacher-researcher in Information and Communication Sciences specializing in edutainment.

Publication of the book "Serious Game, un "carcan ludique" ? Jeux vidéo, Travail et Instrumentalisations" (Blog post)
In this book, Julian Alvarez studies the phenomenon of work's gamification, providing readers with the keys to navigating a world steeped in video game culture. He goes even further by opening up a reflection on the constraints opposed to the freedom to play.Thibault Brunet's photography, which questions our relationship to virtuality, accompanies and brings light to this research.
