How geek kids get geek jobs: a cross-generational inquiry into digital play and young adults' careers in IT (Diffusion de nos travaux)
From programming ‗home-brew‘ games, to modifying the content of existing commercial titles, digital gaming can be regarded as a potential gateway into more serious uses of computers; welcoming some while repelling others. The socio-demographic makeup of computer science, games development and related areas of work are of interest to feminist scholars of culture. In light of skills shortages, industry is also interested in increasing women and ethnic minorities‘ participation in [...]Mots-clés : Games
The Choice of Serious Games and Gamification (Diffusion de nos travaux)
When analyzing past and existing trends, gamification has unarguably invaded the mainstream media in a more pervasive way than serious games. In the literature, there has been a wide range of meanings for gamification, some detractors abhorring the term to others stating it encompasses everything to do with games and entertainment. This inconsistent nomenclature and undefined scope has led to the erroneous belief that gamification and serious games are synonymous. The aim of this paper is to pre [...]Mots-clés : Serious Games, Gamification
Creación de Juegos Serios en Unity 3D (Diffusion de nos travaux)
ABSTRACT This thesis addresses the problems of the development of serious games, focusing particularly on bridging the gap between of two separate communities: developers and domain experts, that is, educators. Nowadays, students are used to “consume” a large number of games for different purposes (mainly for leisure), and they are expecting a certain quality level in the games (e.g. media assets, story, effects, etc.) and affecting the attitude of playing the game if it does no [...]Mots-clés : Educational video games, Serious games, Game design, Human-Computer interaction, Game engine
A Novel Educational Game for teaching Emotion Identification Skills to Preschoolers with Autism Diagnosis (Diffusion de nos travaux)
Abstract Emotion recognition is essential in human communication and social interaction. Children with autism have been reported to exhibit deficits in understanding and expressing emotions. Those deficits seem to be rather permanent so intervention tools for improving those impairments are desirable. Educational interventions for teaching emotion recognition should occur as early as possible. It is argued that Serious Games can be very effective in the areas of therapy and education for ch [...]Mots-clés : Autism, Facial emotion recognition, Gesture-based interaction, Kinect, Natural user interface

Ubiquitous Biofeedback Multimedia Systems (Diffusion de nos travaux)
Human wellbeing, in a large component, relies on the harmony between the body and the mind. Unfortunately, we often miss or ignore important signals from our bodies, and sometimes this can negatively impact our health. Therefore, the use of intelligent systems that grasp such signals and convey them in an intuitive manner to our minds can result in great health benefits. In this Thesis, we introduce a family of multimedia technologies and techniques aimed at realizing such systems. We call them: [...]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
Towards Participative and Knowledge-Intensive Serious Games (Diffusion de nos travaux)
We propose the “Architecture for Representations, Games, Interactions, and Learning among Experts” (ARGILE) for participatory and knowledge -intensive serious games. Faced with the problem of training on professional practices in areas of advanced expertise, reference knowledge are neither stabilized nor unanimous, but rather dynamic and continuously evolving. Moreover, the practicioner does not make decisions based on pre-established recipes, but it is brought to trial and error, to [...]Mots-clés : Participation architecture, e-training, Serious games, Knowledge Engineering, Coopération, Forum de discussion
