Managerial skills and soft skills developed in entrepreneurial games (Broacasting our studies)
On the work market and for corporate recruiters, soft skills have become increasingly sought-after. Technical skills are always present, but they are no longer sufficient on the employment market. As part of this dynamic, serious games can be used as tools to work more specifically on managerial skills. After underlining the importance of these skills, we propose a selection of titles and a critical look at games that can stimulate and reinforce them.Keywords : managerial skills, education, game, play, serious game, soft skills

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

Video games, tools of soft power or vectors of ideologies? (Broacasting our studies)
Many video games convey ideological messages, in more or less subtle ways, whether political or economic, or as a form of soft power. However, gamers don't always recognize these messages, and interpret them subjectively.Keywords : Video game, Soft Power, Ideology, Interpretative gaps, Serious game, Ethics
