Serious Games : "A Ludic Constraint" ? Video games, work and instrumentalizations (Broacasting our studies)
The serious game combines fun means with a productive, educational or communicational purpose.

Julian Alvarez thus connects the solitary game offered by the most sophisticated virtual mediations with the most apparently rudimentary animal practices. However, he does not stop at this comparison bu [...]Keywords : Liberty, Gamification, Edutainment, Ludopedagogy, Ethics, Interpretive gap, Video game, Game

(Broacasting our studies)
These days, we're seeing an increase in references to the culture of games and video games. It's in this context that we find the phenomenon of gamification. But is it aimed exclusively at gaming enthusiasts, or is it open to all? To find out, let's play! The rules are simple: take a look at Camille's day below. Each time you come across the symbols * @ & #, ask yourself if the sentence matches you. If so, count the symbol in question.
