An overview of serious games (Diffusion de nos travaux)
Serious games are growing rapidly as a gaming industry as well as a field of academic research. There are many surveys in the field of digital serious games; however, most surveys are specific to a particular area such as education or health. So far, there has been little work done to survey digital serious games in general, which is the main goal of this paper. Hence, we discuss relevant work on serious games in different application areas including education, well-being, advertisement, cultura [...]LawVille: a Collaborative Serious Game (Diffusion de nos travaux)

THE SERIOUS GAMES FOR LEARNING THE CHALLENGE OF A STANDARD MAINTENANCE AND COMPETITIVE GAMEPLAY AND DESIGN (Diffusion de nos travaux)
Introduction The value of video games for learning is a controversial issue that has fueled numerous investigations since the first electronic games captivated generations of young people and children in the 80s (and Méndiz De Aguilera, 2004). While, initially, there were suspicions to believe that video games could be useful in education and training field currently, it is a widely shared by both researchers concept, for educators (Del Moral, 2010; Gros, 2009, Gros, 2000 Etxeberr&i [...]Mots-clés : Jeux vidéo, Valeur ajoutée, Apprentissages
Une proposition de modèle de design pédagogique dans un processus de co-conception d'un jeu sérieux par des apprenants-concepteurs (Diffusion de nos travaux)
Résumé Depuis les années 1990, on a souvent critiqué et questionné notamment à l‘époque du edutainment et du CBT (Computer-based training), l‘intégration des jeux sur ordinateur dans les situations d‘apprentissage sans apporter d‘études concluantes sur le sujet (EgenfeldtNielsen, 2005; p.265). L‘émergence des environnements d‘apprentissage constructivistes, des approches pédagog [...]Mots-clés : Jeu sérieux, Serious Game, Education, Apprentissage par le design, Co-conception, Processus de design pédagogique, Modèle de design pédagogique, Système
Shared Situational Awareness between inland actors at Port of Rotterdam: Improving Shared Situational Awareness by means of a game session (Diffusion de nos travaux)
Inland transport is a crucial component for the gateway ports such as Rotterdam. There are different parties involved in the inland transport: forwarders, shipping line agents, shipping lines, sea terminals, inland carriers, etc. To operate effectively and efficiently cooperation and collaboration is required between all involved parties. The claim of this project is that the root of several problems occurring in the container flow can be explained by the low level of Shared Situational Awarenes [...]The effect of Testing and Feedback in Digital Game-based Learning (Diffusion de nos travaux)
Research on digital game-based learning indicates that this learning method can be - under certain conditions - more efficient than other traditional teaching methods, such as textbooks, or web-based learning. Without additional support learning from games may or may not occur, this is why instructional support should be used in educational settings. The present study focuses on testing with feedback as a type of instructional support with great promise. Testing is widely used in almost all clas [...]Mots-clés : Digital game-based learning, Learning from games, Testing, Feedback
A gesture-controlled Serious Game for teaching preschoolers with autism facial emotion recognition (Diffusion de nos travaux)

Children with autism have been reported to exhibit deficits in the recognition of affective expressions. Their difficulties in understanding and expressing emotions leads to inappropriate behavior derived from their inability to interact adequately with other people.
