Designing games for learning: An investigation of instructional designers, game designers, and teachers design decisions and epistemological beliefs (Diffusion de nos travaux)
ABSTRACT Fields within education and training have been exploring the use of educational computer-based games, often referred to as serious games (SG), in multiple disciplines of academic research including the affective, cognitive, and psychomotor domains. 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
Improving Elderly Health Care by Using Serious Games: A Systematic Literature Review (Diffusion de nos travaux)
The reiterating demographical statistics have been consistent in elaborating the growing rate of the aged population in both developing and developed countries. Currently, steady increase in lifespan of certain populations has been observed which further exacerbates this trend. Governments and other stakeholders in health care have embraced solutions from various disciplines in improving the wellbeing of their elderly citizenry. Serious Games (SGs) are games that have been designed to accomplish [...]Mots-clés : Serious Games, elderly health care, eHealth

OBSERVATION AND ANALYSIS OF A CLASSROOM TEACHING AND LEARNING PRACTICE BASED ON AUGMENTED REALITY AND SERIOUS GAMES ON MOBILE PLATFORMS (Diffusion de nos travaux)
This qualitative research is part of a learning effort to better understand how serious games are exploited in a science education context. The research team examined this issue by focusing on augmented reality as a technological innovation imbedded on a tablet. Given the current state of knowledge related to serious games and augmented reality, and given the fact that its use in the context of teaching/learning is not extended, this paper focuses on an initial exploration of how a new teaching [...]Mots-clés : Mobile learning, Augmented reality (Réalité augmentée), Serious games, Design-based research, Physics
Facilitation matters: A framework for instructor-led serious gaming (Diffusion de nos travaux)
AbstractThis 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 for learning [...]Mots-clés : Serious games, Serious gaming, Game-based training
Serious Games: A design methodology from concept to end-user (Diffusion de nos travaux)
Abstract —Since 2002, serious games have received much attention from industry, government and the research community. However, the large number of definitions available still present limitations in terms of contexts and games classification. Indeed, these definitions exclude certain types of games and do not cover certain contexts where serious games could be deployed. Therefore this paper introduces a shift in the interpretation of serious games, allowing a more flexible definition [...]A Preliminary Study of Serious Game Effect Model based on Construal-Level Theory (Diffusion de nos travaux)
Many of recent studies have suggested various positive outcomes of serious games. However, relatively little emphasis has been placed on the roles of user-centered factors from a psychological perspective. One of the main goals of serious games is the change of the user`s perception and behavior towards a positive direction. To achieve this goal, psychological factors should be applied to the user`s playing process in serious games. Inspired by construal-level theory(CLT), we propose a CLT appli [...]Mots-clés : Serious Game, psychological factors, User's perception

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
