Tracking Students? Activities in Serious Games (Diffusion de nos travaux)
Abstract A Serious Game (SG) is a virtual process designed for the purpose of real-world problem-solving. In SG analytics studies, learning processes are tracked using diverse techniques to support the personalization of instruction. However, it is a challenge to find potential meanings of each parameter of the tracking logs and define an appropriate indicator for a user’s behavior. Game tracking logs often only provide limited information regardless of a game context. Therefore, res [...]Mots-clés : Serious games analytics, Visualization, Learning path
A serious game concept to enhance students' learning of statistics (Diffusion de nos travaux)
Abstract:In this ongoing work, the team intends to present a conceptual serious game as an educational tool to promote and demonstrate the applicability of statistical concepts in day-to-day life and in the decision-making process. The serious game will provide learning content in a game-based environment where students/players interact by applying knowledge in Statistics. There will be no right or wrong answers. Based on the students' answers and choices, the serious game, by a design mechanism [...]Mots-clés : Serious Games, Statistics Education, Augmented Reality, Geolocation
Creating Story-Based Serious Games Using a Controlled Natural Language Domain Specific Modeling Language (Diffusion de nos travaux)
AbstractCreating serious games calls for a multidisciplinary design team, including game developers, subject-matter experts, pedagogical experts, and narrative designers. However, such multidisciplinary teams often experience communication and collaboration problems due to differences in terminology, background and the concerns of the people involved. As one step towards solving this problem, we developed a modeling language for authors of serious games to specify both the story and the pedagogi [...]Mots-clés : Serious games, Narrative, Pedagogy, Domain specific modeling language, Modeling, Controlled natural language, Graphical notation, Simulator
Serious Games for Learning : a model and a reference architecture for efficient game development (Diffusion de nos travaux)
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 [...]Mots-clés : Serious Game, Learning
A Brief History of Serious Games (Diffusion de nos travaux)
AbstractSerious Games are now an established field of study. In this field most would attribute the rise of Serious Games to Clark C Abt’s creation of the term in 1970, or indeed Ben Sawyer’s popularization of it in 2002. However, considering the rich history of purposing non-digital games, itself preceded by discussions of purposing play that are traceable to the work of Plato, it can be said that Serious Games is a contemporary manifestation of centuries old theories and practices.

The Experimental Method as an Evaluation Tool in Serious Games Research and Development (Diffusion de nos travaux)
AbstractThis chapter aims to provide the reader with basic knowledge about the experiment as a general method that can be applied towards serious games research and evaluation. It explains the main terms and rules of the experimental design, as well as points out the main risks and difficulties to avoid. The chapter also explains the differences in possible conclusions between true experiments, quasi-experiments, and correlational studies. References (1): Djaouti, D., Alvarez, J., Jess [...]Mots-clés : Experiment, Experimental design, Variables, Validity, Biases, Samples, Quasi-experiment, Correlational study

Designing an Agile Game for Technical Communication Classrooms (Diffusion de nos travaux)
This technical paper details the development of a board game designed to help technical communication students understand scrum-based agile project management, as well as assist practitioners in introducing scrum management to a team unfamiliar with the process. I ground the development and design of the game with a literature review of scholarship on agile project management, games in education and business, and collaboration. I present my methodology in the form of a game design document (GDD) [...]Mots-clés : Board game, Design, Scrum, Education, Méthodologie, Game Design
Virtual Reality-Based Holistic Framework: A Tool for Participatory Development of Customised Playful Therapy Sessions for Motor Rehabilitation (Diffusion de nos travaux)
Abstract:The research in-progress presented in this paper proposes a holistic VR-based framework for participatory design of Serious Games for motor rehabilitation. The proposed framework is devised in layers that facilitate the mapping of game mechanics to playful therapeutic exercise games. The framework proposed can be disease agnostic and applies to a wider range of service users, regardless of their condition and motor functional capacity. The pilot study design for evaluating the proposed [...]Mots-clés : Games, Diseases, Monitoring, Medical treatment, Biomedical monitoring, Stakeholders, Systems architecture
