Enabling Control of 3D Visuals, Scenarios and Non-linear Gameplay in Serious Game Development Through Model-Driven Authoring (Broacasting our studies)
Abstract: Due to the absence of high-level authoring environments and support for non-technical domain experts to create custom serious games, a model-driven authoring framework is presented in this paper. Through model-driven authoring, non-technical people can manipulate the 3D visuals of their serious game, model the scenarios of the game, and even easily add non-linear narrative to the game. The different tools and methods have been implemented and are currently used to build a serious [...]Keywords : Serious game, Cyberbullying, Adaptivity, Scenario generation, Non-linear gameplay, Sandbox, Model-driven authoring
VR-based serious game designed for medical ethics training (Broacasting our studies)
Virtual Reality technology is increasingly used for game based learning application, i.e. Digital Serious Games. Simulating reality serious games improve technical skills in different fields and it is often used in medical area. In this research is described “A Day In The HOspital” (ADITHO), a serious game aiming at increase the process of decision making in young physicians through a training that reproduce a realistic clinical situation. In ADITHO the player, from a first person pe [...]Keywords : Digital Serious Game, Medical Ethics, Medical Training, Virtual Reality, Problem Based Learning, Decision Making, Physician-Patient Relationship
Serious Games opportunities for the primary education curriculum in Quebec (Broacasting our studies)
Curriculum integration is one of the main factors in the teachers’ decision-making process when deciding to use games in formal educational contexts. Based on this observation, we aim to provide primary education teachers with a selection of (serious) games in each of the main areas of the primary education curriculum in Quebec. The taxonomy of the games selected includes Serious Games (SG), designed for educational purposes from the start, but also repurposed games, which, despite not hav [...]Keywords : Serious Game, Education

Creation of better template models of strategic planning and leadership control aided by business simulation games based on real-life case studies and analysis tools Abstract The business simulation games, which expose the players/managers to a huge range of learning objectives, on many occasions fail to provide a template model which can govern the desirable actions that are not always effectively linked to the repetitive cycles of arriving at decisions or confronting a result i [...]Keywords : Business simulation games, Heptalysis, CATWOE, VPEC-T, SCRS, MoSCoW
An activity theory-based model for serious games analysis and conceptual design (Broacasting our studies)
There are currently a number of models, frameworks and methodologies for serious games analysis and design that provide useful interpretations of the possibilities and limitations offered by serious games. However, these tools focus mostly on high-level aspects and requirements and do not help understand how such high-level requirements can be concretely satisfied. In this paper, we present a conceptual model, called Activity Theory-based Model of Serious Games (ATMSG), that aims to fill this ga [...]Keywords : Serious games, Educational serious games, Serious games analysis, Serious games design, Activity theory
Gamification of Creativity: Exploring the Usefulness of Serious Games for Ideation (Broacasting our studies)
AbstractOrganizing for idea generation is a recurring challenge in intensive innovation contexts. The literature on ideation has reached a compelling consensus on the features that such organizational devices must possess to support sufficient creativity: learning processes and a creative climate of confidence to promote collaboration. However, current practical methodologies struggle to simultaneously realize these two features. In this paper, we explore the potential of Serious Games, a collab [...]Analysis and classification of serious games for cognitive stimulation (Broacasting our studies)
Abstract:Serious games are an emerging technology that is growing in importance, providing benefits beyond pure entertainment in order to improve the users' realistic experience. Nowadays, there is increasing concern for people with cognitive troubles. Their cognitive capabilities could be improved so they can lead a better life. Serious games have great potential in stimulating cognitive abilities for different target audiences via multiple devices. Classifications of serious games should help [...]Keywords : Serious games, Classification, Analysis, Cognitive stimulation
Viable Health Games: Elements for Success (Broacasting our studies)
The main purpose of this study is to identify the elements of children's health games that have a positive impact on children’s health. The investigation is done by evaluating previous health game studies concentrating on children and five health affairs (such as asthma, cancer, diabetes, nutrition and obesity). In order to do so, firstly the topic of children’s health games is explained through its roots, as it is an interdisciplinary topic pertinent with many other fields. For [...]Keywords : Health games, Children
JUEGOS SERIOS EN EL APRENDIZAJE (Broacasting our studies)
IntroducciónLos juegos son tácticas estratégicas para facilitar el aprendizaje y han sido utilizados en todos los niveles en los contextos educativos. Estos son reconocidos como medios significativos para desarrollar el pensamiento estratégico, trabajo de equipo, tolerancia al riesgo, y autoconfianza, entre otros impactos positivos (Feng Liu y Chen, 2013). La inserción rápida de las tecnologías digitales y video, cubriendo todos los espacios de la [...]Learning through playing Virtual Age: Exploring the interactions among student concept learning, gaming performance, in-game behaviors, and the use of (Broacasting our studies)
AbstractVideo games possess many unique features that facilitate learning. Meanwhile, teaching about evolution is never an easy task due to the existence of some barriers to its learning.Virtual Age, therefore, has been developed in an attempt to harness the power of gaming to increase student understanding of biological evolution. The aim of this study was to examine whether Virtual Age is effective for learning about evolution and to further explore the interplay of student concept l [...]Keywords : Virtual reality, Teaching/learning strategies, Interactive learning environments, Applications in subject areas, Secondary education
