We challenge the idea of the paradoxical nature of the concept serious games and ask how researchers and designers need to conceive of serious games so that they at all appear paradoxical. To develop and answer this question, we draw on a theory–method that considers all forms of observation as paradoxical. We then use the tetralemma, a structure from traditional Indian logics, to resolve the paradox of serious games into this larger paradox of observation. Consequently, serious games may

Abstract“Serious Games” is a unique industry that is concerned with the training/learning performance assessment of its clients. It is one of three digital technology industries (along with digital games, and online learning) that are rapidly advancing into the arena of analytics. The analytics from these industries all came from the tracing of user-generated data as they interacted with the systems, but differed from one another in the primary purposes for such analytics. For exampl

Afin de contribuer à la réflexion sur les « disséminations vidéoludiques », cet article s’interroge sur l’appellation même de « Serious Game ». Notre démarche s’appuie sur un corpus de textes visant à définir la notion de « Serious Game », ainsi que sur un corpus de jeux vidéo répondant à sa définition. Nous reviendrons tout d’abord sur les origines

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

Serious Games (SG) are more and more used for training in various domains, especially in crisis management domain. In order to improve training results, learner assessment can provide insights on what went right or wrong during a training session. Learner assessment requires monitoring (data acquisition in a virtual environment) and supporting learners' feedback (on learners' decisions and actions), which Intelligent Tutoring Systems address as a main issue, as a mean to individualise learning.

Crisis management, serious games (SG) are more and more used for training. SG permit to reduce the cost of a such training and saving time, and in general provide a fun way to learn. In this paper we propose to bring together SG and Intelligent Tutoring Systems (ITS) in the context of the SIMFOR project, a SG for training in crisis management. We discuss the problems and needs of serious games and an overview of existing works. To enhance the learning aspect in SG, we propose the integration of
