BIP Editorial - special issue dedicated to Edutainment (Broacasting our studies)
Edutainment is the idea of using games, or even serious games, to mediate learning. It's about going beyond games as simple rewards or extrinsic motivational levers: “if you do your exercise well, you'll be able to play”. With edutainment, games are used as a tool or resource for learning. For example, it can be used to provide concrete representations of experiences, to test hypotheses, to stimulate pedagogical interaction between learners or with those proposing the activity...With [...]Keywords : Game based learning, Edutainement, Serious game, Editorial, Games
Critical Analysis of Learning Models (Broacasting our studies)
Edgar Dale’s pyramid is often associated with percentages by training organizations to promote active pedagogies. However, this model has a marketing origin and no scientific basis. It is therefore appropriate to turn to other models such as those of Agyris, Schön and Kolb (1984), which emphasize the importance of learning by doing. At the same time, by studying these different models, we can identify the extent to which the use of games and, by extension, serious games are fully cons [...]Keywords : Learning models, Serious Game, Evaluation
Serious Games for Vocational Training: From Emotional Labor to Knowledge Transfer (Broacasting our studies)
SummaryBased on research on a serious game used for training purposes, this chapter aims to analyze knowledge transfer related to emotional labor between gaming and work situations. After defining emotional labor, it discusses issues related to the use of a serious game as mediation; whether or not it is accepted; and whether it contributes to the possibility of better regulating emotions. The results suggest that knowledge transfer, in and around work situations, is related more to the acceptan [...]Keywords : Emotional Labor, Knowledge transfer, Recruitment schemes, Serious Escape Game, Vocational training, Work situations
Julian Alvarez ? Studying the game, a good idea! (Broacasting our studies)
For Julian Alvarez, there's no doubt that studying games is a good idea. In fact, he is a teacher-researcher at the Polytechnic University of Hauts-de-France and at the Ecole Supérieure du Professorat et de l'Education in Lille. There, he studies games and their use in fields such as training, healthcare and marketing.However, his interest in games is probably rooted in his childhood. Julian Alvarez experienced three different approaches to teaching:In Spain, under Franco's re [...]Keywords : Teaching, Training, Game, Board game, Video game
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
Ludopedagogy (Broacasting our studies)
Ludopedagogy is the idea of using games, or serious games, as a teaching method. Contrary to what such a term might suggest etymologically (“pedo” refers to “child”), the term “ludopedagogy” comes from adult education. Banks and major groups use the term to designate teaching methods to designate teaching methods targeting their employees. We could, however, refer to such approaches as “ludo-andragogy”. But this neologism has no currency.Unive [...]Keywords : Ludopedagogy, Edutainement, Serious game, Pedagogy
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

In 2013, the cover of “Nature” magazine was devoted to the benefits of video games for senior citizens. Today, the big video game players are positioning themselves in this field: for example, Nintendo has been offering “Dr Kawashima's Brain Training” since 2007, or the “Walk with Me” application, which is designed to facilitate daily exercise and encourage walking. A Japanese company like Bandai Namco, whose business is the development and marketing of video [...]Keywords : Health game, Serious game, Health, Patient, Defintion
Automatic Extraction of Smart Game Based Learning Design Expertise: An Approach Based on Learning Ontology (Broacasting our studies)
Smart Game Based Learning System (SGBLS) design is a complex area. It requires the intervention of multiple actors with specific skills and expertise. Unfortunately, novice game designers who do not have necessary competency inspired from both educational and video games systems cannot successfully create SGBLS. For that, they have to acquire specific skills and expertise in an efficient and active pedagogical manner. To solve this problem, there are several existing techniques, among them learn [...]Keywords : Smart Game Based Learning System (SGBLS), Game design

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
