This chapter on the work of gamification aims to question the concept of gamification when it is part of prescribed managerial training devices. A distinction is made between simulator and serious game, then between serious game and serious gaming, and finally, we ask ourselves which name is more appropriate in the light of our research findings. A new name seems more appropriate than gamification, and could be degamification.Keywords : Serious game, Gamification, Ungamification, Serious gaming, Simulator, Training, Management
Tracking Students? Activities in Serious Games (Broacasting our studies)
Abstract A Serious Game (SG) is a virtual process designed for the purpose of real-world problem-solving. In SG analytics studies, learning processes are tracked using diverse techniques to support the personalization of instruction. However, it is a challenge to find potential meanings of each parameter of the tracking logs and define an appropriate indicator for a user’s behavior. Game tracking logs often only provide limited information regardless of a game context. Therefore, rese [...]Keywords : Serious games analytics, Visualization, Learning path

A Paradigm for the Development of Serious Games for Health as Benefit Delivery Systems (Broacasting our studies)
Abstract—Serious games are developed with the purpose of bestowing a benefit on the user. That benefit could be related to the user’s health, education, safety or efficiency. We propose that the mechanism that the game employs to achieve such a benefit should be identified as the key to the development of a successful serious game. We introduce a paradigm for the design and development of serious games as benefit delivery systems. We suggest that the paradigm can apply to all applica [...]Keywords : Serious game, Health, Health game, Healthcare

Linking normative and descriptive research with serious gaming (Broacasting our studies)
In this paper, we propose an environment to support collaborative modding, as a new way to learn a subject. Modding can be defined as the activity to modify an existing game with dedicated tools. In a constructivist approach, we base our work on the assumption that modding a learning game can help learners to acquire the concepts of the subject concerned. We also think that modding in collaborative settings can help learners both to learn the subject and to learn to collaborate. We first propose [...]Keywords : Modding, Game development kits, Learning game 2.0, Collaborative learning
