An Environment to Support Collaborative Learning by Modding (Diffusion de nos travaux)
In this paper, we propose an environment to support collaborative modding, as a new way to learn a subject. Modding can be defined as the activity to modify an existing game with dedicated tools. In a constructivist approach, we base our work on the assumption that modding a learning game can help learners to acquire the concepts of the subject concerned. We also think that modding in collaborative settings can help learners both to learn the subject and to learn to collaborate. We first propose [...]Mots-clés : Modding game, Development kits, Learning game 2.0, Collaborative learning

Learning Game 2.0: support for game modding as a learning activity (Diffusion de nos travaux)
Abstract: When we talk about video game, we observe that people who modified it are those who best knows its content. Thus we can consider game modifications as a way of knowledge appropriation. In this paper, we apply this model to learning games, positioning the research project in a Web 2.0 approach. If the content of a game can be learned by playing it, it can be more deeply understood by making this game evolving. The Web 2.0 is not defined by its technologies, but by the way of using [...]Mots-clés : Modding, Game development kits, Learning game 2.0, Collaborative learning
Video Gaming for STEM Education (Diffusion de nos travaux)
ABSTRACT The focus of this chapter is how video games can be utilized for instructional purposes, specifically in the STEM areas (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics). Gaming, as an instructional tool, enables educators to create participatory learning activities, assess understanding of complex and ill-formed situations, facilitate critical thinking and problem solving capabilities, and ensure active engagement across the learning continuum for all students. How to use it ef [...]Mots-clés : Video games, Learning

Measuring distributed affect in collaborative games (Diffusion de nos travaux)
The ability to engage children in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) fields early in their scholastic years is critical to ensure the success of the next generation of scientists and engineers. Given that 97% of American teens play video games, there is a tremendous opportunity to engage students in STEM concepts within the framework of a multi-player game. Research has shown that eliciting emotional and affective responses in players can actively increase engagement, learning, an [...]Mots-clés : Mathématiques, Games
Conception de jeux thérapeutiques pour seniors: l'exemple du village aux oiseaux (Diffusion de nos travaux)
Abstract—Dans cet article, nous présentons la méthode que nous avons suivie lors de la conception du jeu sérieux thérapeutique (Serious Game) "Le Village aux Oiseaux". Ce jeu a pour objectif de stimuler l’attention de patients présentant les premiers symptômes de la maladie Alzheimer, en s’appuyant sur un gameplay de jeu de tir en vue subjective. Notre démarche porte sur l’adaptation, pour une cible senior, de ce t [...]Designing Therapeutic Games for Seniors: Case Study of "Le Village aux Oiseaux" (Diffusion de nos travaux)
In this paper, we describe the method we used to design the therapeutic game called Le Village aux Oiseaux, a first person shooter aiming to stimulate the attention network of seniors suffering from the Alzheimer's disease. One of the main issues we had to deal with was how to adapt games designed for adolescents and young adults, to seniors. A lack of studies and game design guidelines, as well as a lack of data on what seniors enjoy while playing made this design more complicated and, thus, in [...]Mots-clés : Therapeutic game, games design, usability, Evaluation, Méthodes, Serious Game, Elderly
Fun house ludus loci and the American home as folly (Diffusion de nos travaux)
ABSRACT While play marks both the cultural and pre-cultural spheres of human existence, the environmental design disciplines have almost exclusively compartmentalized the notions of play and fun into categories of leisure and children’s playgrounds. The rhetorics of environmental design, to date, have ignored, or at best marginalized, the possibility of play outside of recreational and commercial contexts. Still, we have abundant examples of playful architecture and fun places that s [...]Mots-clés : Design, Architecture, Fun architecture, Game
