Classify and rate games (Broacasting our studies)
The aim of this presentation is to explain the social constructs and subjective perceptions associated with games. This necessarily leads to limitations in classifying games, whether at artifact or player level. In this way, we can understand why classification by Gameplay Brick (artifacts) or via the ESAR system (players) are unable to categorize games. To demonstrate this, an activity was proposed during the conference: ask participants to play games and come up with skills that could be assoc [...]Keywords : Game, Play, Taxinomy, Evaluation, Classification, Subjectivity, Social construct, ESAR
Player Personality Profile Grid (PPP Grid) (Broacasting our studies)
The purpose of this article is to propose a model to help trainers assess the player profiles they are likely to encounter among their learners. The goal is to maximize the chances of making an edutainment session as effective as possible. This approach resulted in a first iteration of a model. This model was built and derived based on statistical analysis of 1,126 individuals who completed a questionnaire about their communication personality, age, gamer profile, and weekly play time. Using thi [...]Keywords : Profiles, Players, Personnality, Learners, DiSC Model, Bartle's Typology
Gameplay Bricks Model, a Theoretical Framework to Match Game Mechanics and Cognitive Functions (Broacasting our studies)
This article investigated whether it is possible to establish correspondences between game mechanics and particular cognitive stimulations. There are many challenges to prevent and treat cognitive decline with aging or neurocognitive disease. Observing difficulties to establish such correspondences in the scientific literature, we proposed to move away from “classification by genre” or any other type of taxonomy that deviates from the framework of the “Rules/Formal schemas&rdqu [...]Keywords : video games, serious games, game mechanics, cognitive functions, executive functions

Abstract How to create an interactive product that encourages high school students to get in contact with the world of chemistry. Or how to get high school students pay any attention to the discipline of chemistry through an interactive entertainment application that besides entertaining can teach some of the most basic concepts of the The science that can better explain the progress of humanity. In the following lines we will present the steps taken in the design an interactive entertainme [...]Keywords : Video games, Game Mecanics, Design, Aesthetics, chemistry, School, Learning
Feedback on the integration of a serious game in the data modeling learning (Broacasting our studies)
Data Modeling (DM) is an important area in the Information System (IS) learning. In particular, in the IS analysis phase business analysts need to provide a comprehensive notation to avoid misunderstanding between software engineers and customer. Teaching DM is a challenging task, mainly because it lays great emphasis on theory. It remains often abstract, not consensual and complex to implement in real setting. In order to better motivate learners, this paper aims to assess the integration of Se [...]Keywords : Serious Games, Gamification, Innovation Minitrack, Data modeling learning, INNOV8, IS learning, Teaching DM
Using Players? Gameplay Action-Decision Profiles to Prescribe Training: Reducing Training Costs with Serious Games Analytics (Broacasting our studies)
Abstract— Players’ gameplay action-decision data can be used towards profiling as serious games analytics. The insights gained can help support the decisions for performance improvement and as ‘prescriptions’ for training – e.g., diagnosing who should receive training, how much training will be given, informing the design of the game, and determining the contents for inclusion and exclusion. Data-driven training prescription can help learning organizations save mone [...]Keywords : Serious Games Analytics, Similarity measures, Performance improvement, Reducing training cost, Training prescription
Serious Games for Learning : a model and a reference architecture for efficient game development (Broacasting our studies)
Summary Digital Serious Games (SGs) are gaining increasing importance as educational and training tools. However, there is still a long way to make them widely deployed. On the one hand, balancing fun and educational elements in a SG is not trivial and requires understanding how these games can be designed to support effective and efficient learning. On the other hand, actual development can be costly and time-consuming, involving large teams of people from different backgrounds, who often [...]Keywords : Serious game, Learning
IMPROVING SERIOUS GAME DESIGN THROUGH A DESCRIPTIVE CLASSIFICATION: A COMPARATION OF METHODOLOGIES (Broacasting our studies)
ABSTRACT Serious game provides an instructional tool to make the learning process more enjoyable, easier to memorize and effective. It combines pedagogy goals and game play to increase the participant interest and engagement compared to traditional methods. In this paper, we compare several methodologies of game design relative to our classification proposal; it can assist the analysis and evaluation of serious game design, we illustrate how this classification helps several actors of desi [...]Keywords : Comparative Study, Serious Game, Learning, Game Design
Digital Educational Games: Methodologies for Development and Software Quality (Broacasting our studies)
Development of a game in the form of software for game-based learning poses significant technical challenges for educators, researchers, game designers, and software engineers. The game development consists of a set of complex processes requiring multi-faceted knowledge in multiple disciplines such as digital graphic design, education, gaming, instructional design, modeling and simulation, psychology, software engineering, visual arts, and the learning subject area. Planning and managing such a [...]Keywords : Digital game development, Educational game development, Game development life cycle, Game development methodology, Game development processes, Game development workflows, Game software quality evaluation, Game-based learning
