DESENVOLVIMENTO DE JOGO PARA CRIANÇAS DIABÉTICAS (Broacasting our studies)
Diabetes Mellitus Type 1 is a disease that mainly affects children and adolescents and if not handled carefully can lead to several complications . It is therefore proposed the use of a Serious Game for Health , in order to help these children in the learning process about the disease. References (1): ALVAREZ, J. et al.

OBSERVATION AND ANALYSIS OF A CLASSROOM TEACHING AND LEARNING PRACTICE BASED ON AUGMENTED REALITY AND SERIOUS GAMES ON MOBILE PLATFORMS (Broacasting our studies)
This qualitative research is part of a learning effort to better understand how serious games are exploited in a science education context. The research team examined this issue by focusing on augmented reality as a technological innovation imbedded on a tablet. Given the current state of knowledge related to serious games and augmented reality, and given the fact that its use in the context of teaching/learning is not extended, this paper focuses on an initial exploration of how a new teaching [...]Keywords : Mobile learning, Augmented reality, Serious games, Design-based research, Physics
Facilitation matters: A framework for instructor-led serious gaming (Broacasting our studies)
AbstractThis thesis explores the use of serious games from an instructor perspective. More specifically, it aims to study the roles of instructors and how they can be facilitated within an instructor-led game-based training environment. Research within the field of serious games has mostly focused on the learners' perspective, but little attention has been paid to what the instructors do and what challenges that entails. In this thesis, I argue that serious games, as artefacts used for learning [...]Keywords : Serious games, Serious gaming, Game-based training
Serious Games: A design methodology from concept to end-user (Broacasting our studies)
Abstract —Since 2002, serious games have received much attention from industry, government and the research community. However, the large number of definitions available still present limitations in terms of contexts and games classification. Indeed, these definitions exclude certain types of games and do not cover certain contexts where serious games could be deployed. Therefore this paper introduces a shift in the interpretation of serious games, allowing a more flexible definition [...]A Preliminary Study of Serious Game Effect Model based on Construal-Level Theory (Broacasting our studies)
Many of recent studies have suggested various positive outcomes of serious games. However, relatively little emphasis has been placed on the roles of user-centered factors from a psychological perspective. One of the main goals of serious games is the change of the user`s perception and behavior towards a positive direction. To achieve this goal, psychological factors should be applied to the user`s playing process in serious games. Inspired by construal-level theory(CLT), we propose a CLT appli [...]Keywords : Serious game, User's perception, psychological factors
Serious game et apprentissage en réalité virtuelle: résultats d'une étude préliminaire sur la mémorisation en langue étrangère (Broacasting our studies)
This study aims at analyzing the influence of 3-D interaction on learning a foreign language from an experiment conducted with German language learners. The objective is to draw empirical evidence on the usefulness of Virtual Reality technologies in the conception of a serious game. The results of the empirical study show a positive influence of 3D interaction on lexical short-term memorization, but did not revealed a significant influence on long-term memorization. The study also highlights the [...]Keywords : Serious game, Virtual reality, Learning, Languages, Interaction
FACILITATION MATTERS A framework for instructor-led serious gaming (Broacasting our studies)

Ambient Intelligence technologies can play an important role in enriching the education and learning experience. Such technologies offer students increased access to information within an augmented teaching environment which encourages active learning and collaboration, enhancing their motivation to learn. This paper focuses of transferring painting into the Ami environment through the usage of an augmented digital surface as a painting canvas, and offering interaction through augmented physical [...]Keywords : Learning, Painting
Dynamical modeling of the middle ear and tools organs interactions to develop a simulator applied to otological surgery (Broacasting our studies)
Abstract Microsurgery of the middle ear requires high dexterity due to the finesse and the extreme sensitivity of the structures involved. Learning this surgery is delicate and is performed at the end of the residency. This work focuses on the development of a mechanical finite element model of the anatomical structures that compose the middle ear in order to design a surgical simulator. The objectives are to provide a versatile tool for learning and training of the surgery by surgical pra [...]Keywords : Medical and surgical simulations, Robotics, Computer science, Haptics, Minimally-invasive, Educational, Microsurgery
Virtual Simulations and Serious Games in Community Health Nursing Education: A Review of the Literature (Broacasting our studies)
AbstractThe recent shift in healthcare delivery from that of the hospital to the community calls for skilled community health nurses. The role and practice of community health nurses differs from that of a nurse clinician. Unlike the skills required for that of a nurse clinician, much of the skills required for community health nursing and their application cannot be developed and practised within newly developed and highly innovative practice laboratory facilities where the focus of patient car [...]Keywords : Virtual Simulation, Serious Game
