The serious game in work integration: A comparative study between conventional method and edutainment method (Broacasting our studies)
Abstract This article focuses on a comparative study between conventional methods and serious games, and their impact on learning and motivation. Two hundred and fifty-one jobseekers including 130 enjoying an edutainment and 121 enjoying a conventional counseling, participated in the study. In addition, we conducted 157 interviews with counselors of professional insertion that accompanied these jobseekers. Our results show a significant difference between serious games and conventional [...]Keywords : Serious game, Insertion, Motivation, Learning, Unemployment
Creating Story-Based Serious Games Using a Controlled Natural Language Domain Specific Modeling Language (Broacasting our studies)
AbstractCreating serious games calls for a multidisciplinary design team, including game developers, subject-matter experts, pedagogical experts, and narrative designers. However, such multidisciplinary teams often experience communication and collaboration problems due to differences in terminology, background and the concerns of the people involved. As one step towards solving this problem, we developed a modeling language for authors of serious games to specify both the story and the pedagogi [...]Keywords : Serious games, Narrative, Pedagogy, Domain specific modeling language, Modeling, Controlled natural language, Graphical notation, Simulator
Competitive game environment and its application: Case study with focus on tournament entertainment (Broacasting our studies)
Abstract This study explores a novel way for analyzing tournament structures. Our goal is to find the best suitable tournament under considered purposes. Aside from the number of matches, we address on two other important aspects: competitiveness development and ranking precision. Competitiveness development emphasizes the importance participants’ motivation in every match while keeping the matches exciting throughout the tournament. Ranking precision reflects the convincement of tour [...]RDU accompaniment model applyed to serious game : confrontation with the ecosystem of secondary education (Broacasting our studies)
Summary. – This study addresses the issue of the appropriation of the Serious Game as technical object, by offering a model identifying a set of accompaniments to promote such a process. This model, called RDU, presents three main types of accompaniments: Realization, Dissemination and Use. Together, they comprise fifteen types of distinct accompaniments. The purpose of this study, after describing its development, is to experience on the field this RDU model applied to the Serious Games.

Playstation VR review: the body comes back in force! (Blog post)
This first of January 2017 was the occasion for Ludoscience to test the Playstation VR. Here's a look back at our observations and experiences with various titles associated with this technology. First of all, we tested the “Playstation VR Worlds” compilation and in particular the title: “Ocean Descent”, which invites us to visit the ocean depths. Protected by a cage, you descend little by little into the depths, contemplating the aquatic landscapes. Right from [...]Keywords : Video game, Virtual Reality, Playstation VR, Helmet, VR Helmet, Vertigo, Motion Sickness, Nausea
Realistic Simulation of Cultural Heritage (Broacasting our studies)
AbstractOne of the most challenging problems in the simulation of real environments is to generate worlds that appear realistic and more attractive. It becomes increasingly challenging when the simulated environment focuses on minors (students), because the young generation has high demands on simulation systems due to their experience in computer gaming. Virtual museums are among the most important simulation environments, which present cultural and educational content for everyone. Their purpo [...]Keywords : Cultural Heritage , Serious game
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
Learning game 2.0: support à l'apprentissage collaboratif par la modification de jeux vidéo (Broacasting our studies)
Les outils de modding créés depuis quelques années permettent aux joueurs de modifier leurs jeux vidéo de plus en plus facilement. On observe que les personnes qui ont modifié un jeu acquièrent à cette occasion des connaissances sur son fonctionnement et ses contenus. L'idée que nous développons ici est l'application de ce principe aux learning games, pour faire du jeu 2.0 un moyen d'appropriation des connaissances accessible à [...]Keywords : Apprentissage collaboratif, Learning game, Modding
Learning Business Process Management through Serious Games: Feedbacks on the Usage of INNOV8 (Broacasting our studies)
Abstract:Business processes play a major role in the Information System (IS) domain. Business Process Management (BPM) approaches offer languages, methods and tools for modeling, execution and optimizing business processes. However, these approaches are often difficult to understand by the learners. In particular, the modeling phase often remains abstract, not consensual and complex to implement in real settings. In order ato better motivate BPM learners, several BPM's Serious Games (SG) has bee [...]Keywords : Games, Companies, Training, Information systems, Business process management, Graphics, serious games (computing), business data processing
A Serious Game for the development of the professional skills of operators in aseptic zone : definition of a holistic model of design and usage studie (Broacasting our studies)
Abstract Serious games (SGs) are a very widespread training and evaluation device, employed in different sectors of school and adult education. In this study we aim to design and develop a SG for training and evaluating personals working in aseptic environment. We will present in this research the theoretical basis needed for that design process. We will define a holistic and united model (PEGADE), which describes the collaborative and optimal process to conceive SGs and which is constructe [...]Keywords : Serious game, Serious game Design, Simulation, Gamification, Instructional Design, Virtual Reality
