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
Games and gamification as modern tools in university education (Diffusion de nos travaux)
RESEARCH OBJECTIVE: The aim of the article is to present the phenomenon of gamification and to analyse the benefits connected with the introduction of the education methods and tools based on gamification systems. THE RESEARCH PROBLEM AND METHODS: The article provides examples of universities in which gamification courses (based on gamification systems) were introduced as part of their teaching programmes. Next, it identifies and analyses benefits resulting from the implementation of this [...]Mots-clés : Education, Game, Gamification, Initiative
Review of the Use of AI Techniques in Serious Games: Decision making and Machine Learning (Diffusion de nos travaux)
Abstract:The video-games market has become an established and ever-growing global industry. The health of the video and computer games industry, together with the variety of genres and technologies available, mean that videogame concepts and programmes are being applied in numerous different disciplines. One of these is the field known as serious games. The main goal of this article is to collect all the relevant articles published during the last decade and create a trend analysis about the use [...]Mots-clés : Games, Artificial intelligence, Decision making, Market research, Algorithm design and analysis, Decision trees, Industries
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
Challenges of Business Simulation Games?A New Approach of Teaching Business (Diffusion de nos travaux)
Abstract: Serious games are part of the new emerging world of education environment that is based on sophisticated technology with elements of entertainment. They have been seen as good supplements for supporting the learning processes due to their capability to increase visualisations and challenge the student creativity. They have the potential to significantly improve training and education activities and initiatives. As a part of serious computer games, business simulation games support [...]Mots-clés : Serious Games, Business Simulation Games, e-learning, Problem-Based Learning, Education

Creation of better template models of strategic planning and leadership control aided by business simulation games based on real-life case studies and analysis tools Abstract The business simulation games, which expose the players/managers to a huge range of learning objectives, on many occasions fail to provide a template model which can govern the desirable actions that are not always effectively linked to the repetitive cycles of arriving at decisions or confronting a result i [...]Mots-clés : Business simulation games, Heptalysis, CATWOE, VPEC-T, SCRS, MoSCoW
An activity theory-based model for serious games analysis and conceptual design (Diffusion de nos travaux)
There are currently a number of models, frameworks and methodologies for serious games analysis and design that provide useful interpretations of the possibilities and limitations offered by serious games. However, these tools focus mostly on high-level aspects and requirements and do not help understand how such high-level requirements can be concretely satisfied. In this paper, we present a conceptual model, called Activity Theory-based Model of Serious Games (ATMSG), that aims to fill this ga [...]Mots-clés : Serious games, Educational serious games, Serious games analysis, Serious games design, Activity theory
Analysis and classification of serious games for cognitive stimulation (Diffusion de nos travaux)
Abstract:Serious games are an emerging technology that is growing in importance, providing benefits beyond pure entertainment in order to improve the users' realistic experience. Nowadays, there is increasing concern for people with cognitive troubles. Their cognitive capabilities could be improved so they can lead a better life. Serious games have great potential in stimulating cognitive abilities for different target audiences via multiple devices. Classifications of serious games should help [...]Mots-clés : Cognitive stimulation, Analysis, Classification, Serious games
Learning through playing Virtual Age: Exploring the interactions among student concept learning, gaming performance, in-game behaviors, and the use of (Diffusion de nos travaux)
AbstractVideo games possess many unique features that facilitate learning. Meanwhile, teaching about evolution is never an easy task due to the existence of some barriers to its learning.Virtual Age, therefore, has been developed in an attempt to harness the power of gaming to increase student understanding of biological evolution. The aim of this study was to examine whether Virtual Age is effective for learning about evolution and to further explore the interplay of student concept l [...]Mots-clés : Secondary education, Applications in subject areas, Interactive learning environments, Teaching/learning strategies, Virtual reality
