Serious gaming activity in team management training : reflections on emotions and debriefing (Broacasting our studies)
Abstract. In a socio-constructivist approach, our study analyzed a serious gaming activity in a four-day management training program. The executives were mostly men in the engineering field who held management roles for more than 2 years. We observed the executives’ 16 training sessions and interviewed 44 executives of big industrial groups, who had participated in the training, one month after the final session. A psychology of work perspective underpinned our theoretical and methodologic [...]Keywords : Emotionality, Debriefing, Reflexivity, Team management, Serious gaming, Ludopedagogy

Serious game for waste sorting on interactive tabletop with tangible objects: exploratory study (Broacasting our studies)
In the field of microbiology training, in which contaminated products must be handled and recycled, there are new needs in order to reduce risks and costs. New advances in Tangible interaction and serious game domains can provide solutions to answer these needs. We propose a serious game relating to waste sorting. It is available on a tangible tabletop equipped with RFID technology. The design and realisation using tangibility and gamification concepts are presented. An exploratory study with st [...]Keywords : Tangible interaction, Serious Game, Interactive tabletop, RFID, Gamification, Gameplay, Waste sorting, Microbiology
Blue Bot Project experiment: First statistical results of the performance of 5-year-olds pupils on their ability to program (Broacasting our studies)
BLUE BOT PROJECT Serious digital games are attractive educational tools and resources which are undoubtedly relevant in appropriate contexts and situations (Alvarez et al., 2016). Faced with growing screen consumption by young children and its dangers on the development of several capacities, the exposure of kindergarten children is questionable (Tisseron, 2013). In order to benefit from the potential of serious digital games, without achieving overexposure to the screen, the use of toys su [...]Keywords : Serious Game, Robot
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

Skill assessment in learning experiences based on serious games: A systematic mapping study (Broacasting our studies)
AbstractSerious games are games with an educational purpose. In these games, players develop their skills by facing a number of challenges, and students are assessed according to their game playing behaviour. Assessment of serious game-based learning experiences has to take into account diverse features as game genre, pedagogical aim or game context. This paper analyses how skills are usually assessed in learning experiences based on serious games. To reach this objective, a systematic mapping s [...]Keywords : Serious games, Game based learning, Systematic mapping study, Skill assessment, Interactive learning environments
