Serious Gaming, Serious Modding and Serious Diverting? Are You Serious?! (Broacasting our studies)
In French-speaking research, the expression ‘serious gaming’ is used in English in order to refer to the practice of diverting videogames aimed at three new, functional purposes: the diffusion of message(s), training and data collection. ‘Serious games’ are thus distinguished from ‘serious gaming’: while the end result may appear similar (combining games with educational purposes), serious gaming applies new functions a posteriori. To highlig [...]Keywords : Serious Gaming, Serious Game, Serious Modding, Serious Diverting

Serious games: history and future (Broacasting our studies)
Abstract After the turn of the century, video games have risen up to the level of the largest mainstream entertainment mediums, now even challenging the movie industry in size. Even though the area occupied by serious games in this market has only just recently really started growing, with serious games still being only a relatively small portion of the video games market, has the idea of using games as tools for education and training been the target of continuous interest for at least the [...]Keywords : Video games, Serious games, Simulations, Simulate, Educational games, Edutainment, Health games, War games

Serious games as a malleable learning medium: The effects of narrative, gameplay, and making on students' performance and attitudes (Broacasting our studies)

Game Learning Analytics: Learning Analytics for Serious Games (Broacasting our studies)
AbstractVideo games have become one of the largest entertainment industries, and their power to capture the attention of players worldwide soon prompted the idea of using games to improve education. However, these educational games, commonly referred to as serious games, face different challenges when brought into the classroom, ranging from pragmatic issues (e.g., a high development cost) to deeper educational issues, including a lack of understanding of how the students interact with the games [...]Keywords : Serious games, Game learning analytics, Learning analytics, Game analytics, Educational standards
Acceptance of Serious Games in Psychotherapy: An Inquiry into the Stance of Therapists and Patients (Broacasting our studies)
Background: Serious games are computer or video games that contain elements that are specifically designed for the purpose of education or training. Serious games are increasingly being used within healthcare, but their introduction into and application in psychotherapeutic settings as an e-mental health treatment modality raises questions for both patients and therapists. Current research demonstrates the potential role and effectiveness of serious games within a psychotherapeutic context. [...]Correspondances et contrastes entre jeux traditionnels et jeux numériques (Broacasting our studies)
Progressively, a kind of paradox is created through the scientific literature related to the game and play fields. The number of works dedicated only to video games conceals gradually the works dedicated to traditional games, although there are always strong links between those two kinds of games. It seems thus clear that a mutual lighting should make us wonder about the singularity or complementarities of the two areas. We propose to look at some of these existing links and contrasts between tr [...]Keywords : video game, tabletop game, board game, Serious games, Gameplay, Play, e-sport
