Comparative Study to Develop a Tool for the Quality Assessment of Serious Games Intended to be used in Education (Diffusion de nos travaux)
Abstract—Serious games are present today in several fields such as education, government, health, defense, industry, civil security and science. In our research we are particularly interested in serious games used in education since they have become an essential part of the learning process and one of the main pedagogical tools used for diffusion of educational messages. So the use of serious games in an educational context can motivate students and stimulate their interest as they fit int [...]Mots-clés : Assessment Grid, Education, Serious games, SG-LOM
Summarising the 7 Dimensions of an Action-Oriented Framework for Video Games (Diffusion de nos travaux)
AbstractThis article summarises our Ph.D. thesis – an analytical view on the player-game relationship through the lens of an action-oriented framework, centred on fundamental entities defined as actors, entities through which action is enacted in the game and of which the player and the game system are a part of. With this in mind, the grounding principles of this framework are seeded in a transition of action into experience, based on communicational systems that structure the dynamic for [...]Mots-clés : Action, chronologie, Design, transcodage, Jeux vidéo

A Tale of Two Cities: A Multimodal Analysis of the Figurative Expressions about City in Picture Books (Diffusion de nos travaux)
Realizing the significant role that city plays in the development of human civilization, the influence it brings to people’s life in the modern society, as well as its absence in fields other than architecture, urban design, and urban planning, this research aims to study the multimodal metaphorical manifestations of civic imagery in picture books from a cognitive linguistic point of view. Relying on the Visual-Verbal Multimodal Metaphor Identification Procedure (VVMMIP) constructed by us [...]Mots-clés : Multimodal metaphor, Metonymy, City, Picture books, Visual-Verbal Multimodal Metaphor Identification P, Magic surrealism, Multimodal Metaphorical Scenario Chain Reaction
A Gamification Approach to Getting Students Engaged in Academic Study (Diffusion de nos travaux)
Abstract Serious games and gamification are emerging in many areas of society. In addition to an effective way of entertainment, games can be adopted as a persuading tool to guide person to achieve specific goal, citing their ultimate attraction. In this paper, we are interested in the mechanism and application of gamification in the field of academic education. Games feature a potential to promote students to learn in a spontaneous and effective manner, since the challenge and fun in games [...]Mots-clés : Academic education, Gamification, Digital circuit course, Serious games
Playing in 7D An Action-Oriented Framework for Video Games (Diffusion de nos travaux)
Grounded on a perspective in which action is a defining trait in video games, this work proposes the development of an action-oriented framework focused on the analysis of the relationships between the player and the game system centred on the existence of actors, which we define as entities responsible for the actions that affect the game – a category in which the player and the game system are included. We describe the grounding principles of this framework as focused on a transformation [...]Mots-clés : Action, chronologie, Jeux vidéo, transcodage, Design, Réflexion et action, Transversal, Réactivité
Exploring cultural heritage landscapes in an interactive game-based learning application (Diffusion de nos travaux)
Abstract:This study presents a tool which supports the exploration of the landscape of ancient Amphipolis. Users can navigate into the landscape using an animated Pegasus cartoon and they are guided by an ancient philosopher cartoon. Once a student reaches a point of interest teaching material of various forms (i.e. text, images, video and external sources) appear. Following, the study of the material, students can take up a quiz to test their knowledge. The application has been evaluated with t [...]Mots-clés : 5G mobile communication, Artificial intelligence, FAA, Three-dimensional displays, Conferences, Iron
Jogos sérios para reabilitação cognitiva (Diffusion de nos travaux)
Abstract Rehabilitation can be defined as a process devised in response to unplanned life changes imposed by diseases or traumatic accidents. Cognitive rehabilitation is a form of therapy, focused on restoring functions that remain partially intact, applied to people with some form of cognitive impairment such as memory loss. The problem of traditional approaches is the lack of motivation and lack of interest of patients to perform repetitive tasks. This is where the concept of serious gam [...]Mots-clés : Serious games, Rehabilitation, Cognitive rehabilitation, NUI, Games

BrainPlay: Serious Game, Serious Learning? (Diffusion de nos travaux)
Abstract: Games are increasingly being used in educational contexts. The view of some game educationists is that games are able to effectively fulfil the requirements of a constructivist learning pedagogy. It is suggested, for example, that games are useful at representing complexity and often possess mechanisms that make learning more effective through mimicking behaviours required for study. This includes such elements as a call to focus, increasing levels of difficulty of skill, repetit [...]Mots-clés : Game-based learning, Neuroscience, How to learn, Primary school
