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
The Effects of a Customisable Pedagogical Agent in a Serious Game Teaching Art Concepts to Middle School Students (Diffusion de nos travaux)
Abstract During this project a serious game was created, which included a pedagogical agent to teach middle schoolers about art concepts. The game is used to test if the option to customise the agent would have an effect on fun, knowledge gain, and how the player rated the agent. This game consists of five mini games and a character creator. The mini games each focused on teaching a specific art concept; perspective, image cropping, composition, genre, and colour blending. The player can cu [...]Mots-clés : Serious Game

Une sorte de paradoxe est en train de s’affirmer à travers la littérature scientifique dédiée aux domaines ludiques ou en rapport avec le jeu. Le nombre de travaux uniquement consacrés aux jeux numériques occulte petit à petit les travaux dédiés aux jeux traditionnels, alors qu’il existe toujours des liens puissants entre jeux traditionnels et jeux vidéo. Un éclairage réciproque devrait nous inciter & [...]Mots-clés : Jeu vidéo, jeu de société, Serious games, jouabilité, Pratiques ludiques, e-sport

The main research question addressed in this thesis is how the choice of game type influences the success of digital educational games (DEG), where success is defined as significant knowledge gain in combination with positive player experience. Games differ in type if they differ at least by one game feature. As a first step we identified a comprehensive set of unique game features, summarised in the Game Elements-Attributes Model (GEAM), where elements are the defining components that all game [...]Mots-clés : digital educational games (DEG), Game Elements-Attributes Model (GEAM), Jeux vidéo, Classification

The Game Genre Map: A Revised Game Classification (Diffusion de nos travaux)
The existing common video game genres lack clarity as well as consistency and thus cannot serve as a solid reference to inform the research on digital educational games (DEG), which are increasingly used as learning tools. To address this basic issue of game classification, we have developed a web-based survey to collect data on how people play and perceive video games that they know well. The survey is grounded in our Game Elements-Attributes Model (GEAM). 321 valid responses were analysed usin [...]Mots-clés : digital educational games (DEG), Jeux numériques éducatifs, Jeux éducatifs, Genre, Jeux vidéo, Apprentissage, Classification, Education
