FACILITATION MATTERS A framework for instructor-led serious gaming (Diffusion de nos travaux)
ABSTRACT This thesis explores the use of serious games from an instructor perspective. More specifically, it aims to study the roles of instructors and how they can be facilitated within an instructor-led game-based training environment. Research within the field of serious games has mostly focused on the learners’ perspective, but little attention has been paid to what the instructors do and what challenges that entails. In this thesis, I argue that serious games, as artefacts used f [...]Learning Modeling Languages Using Strategies from Gaming (Diffusion de nos travaux)
Abstract Learning about software modeling languages from documentation can be a difficult and confusing process, and many of the currently existing modeling language tutorials are only marginally better. At the same time, players of video games spend hours upon hours learning to play games that require mastering complex strategies and concepts, without losing motivation or interest. This success for motivating learning effort seen in many games, is in turn supporting an emerging trend of ed [...]Mots-clés : Learning, Modeling, Games
Games based learning (Diffusion de nos travaux)
Abstract The aim of this thesis is to investigate whether it is possible for a teacher (as a non-game developer) to create educational computer games that could be considered fun‟ to play. The influences of game genre and graphical fidelity on this process are also investigated, along with the practicalities and barriers that constrain the (mainstream) use of computer games within the education system.A literature review was conducted into the motivations for using educational games, [...]Mots-clés : Educational games, Jeux vidéo
Paint-It: A Children?s Habit Revised (Diffusion de nos travaux)
Ambient Intelligence technologies can play an important role in enriching the education and learning experience. Such technologies offer students increased access to information within an augmented teaching environment which encourages active learning and collaboration, enhancing their motivation to learn. This paper focuses of transferring painting into the Ami environment through the usage of an augmented digital surface as a painting canvas, and offering interaction through augmented physical [...]Mots-clés : Learning, Painting
Virtual Simulations and Serious Games in Community Health Nursing Education: A Review of the Literature (Diffusion de nos travaux)
AbstractThe recent shift in healthcare delivery from that of the hospital to the community calls for skilled community health nurses. The role and practice of community health nurses differs from that of a nurse clinician. Unlike the skills required for that of a nurse clinician, much of the skills required for community health nursing and their application cannot be developed and practised within newly developed and highly innovative practice laboratory facilities where the focus of patient car [...]Mots-clés : Virtual simulation, Serious Game
Game-based Learning for Systems Engineering Concepts (Diffusion de nos travaux)
Game-based learning has the potential to improve the education and performance of engineers and decision makers in the systems engineering field. This paper reviews the arguments for the use of educational gaming, with particular attention to the aspects of game-based learning that are well suited to tackling the complex sociotechnical systems engineering problems that currently are trusted only to experts with years of experience. It also describes the development of an educational game, Space [...]Mots-clés : systems engineering education, systems thinking, educational games, game-based learning
EMERGENT LEARNING THROUGH PLAYFUL INTERACTIONS AND SERIOUS GAMES WHEN COMBINING AMBIENT INTELLIGENCE WITH WIRELESS GRIDS (Diffusion de nos travaux)
Abstract The purpose of this paper is to explore emergent learning in relation to playful interactions and instances of serious game conceptualization when combining the emerging and next generation technologies of ambient awareness with wireless grids. A review of the literature is presented for playful interactions and serious games in relation to ambient awareness and wireless grids. Using a case study approach and multiple methods of quantitative and qualitative data collection, the stu [...]Mots-clés : Ambient awareness, Ambient learning, Autonomy, Edgeware, Emergent learning, Emotion/affect, Playful interactions, Serious games
Mobile Game for Learning Bacteriology (Diffusion de nos travaux)
This paper treats serious games. Recently, one of the game genres called serious game has become popular, which has other purposes besides enjoyments like education, training and so on. Especially, learning games of the serious games seem very attractive for the age of video games so that the authors developed a mobile game for learning bacteriology as one of the achievements of their research project. In this paper, the authors introduce the game and show evaluated results about its learning ef [...]Mots-clés : Serious games, Mobile learning, Educational contents, Bacteriology
