Serious Gamification: On the Redesign of a Popular Paradox (Diffusion de nos travaux)
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 [...]Towards a Serious Game for Kurdish Language Learning (Diffusion de nos travaux)

Designing games for learning: An investigation of instructional designers, game designers, and teachers design decisions and epistemological beliefs (Diffusion de nos travaux)

Traditionally, game designers tend to represent a different viewpoint about learning than instructional designers, or even teachers. More so, one of the fundamental roles designers play in making decisions is based on multiple factors, w [...]Mots-clés : Serious games, Instructional levels, Epistemology
