Serious Games with Serious Players: Game Play with International Decision-makers (Diffusion de nos travaux)
Abstract In 2013 the Skoll Global Threats Fund asked CNA Corporation to design and develop a game exploring information-sharing, conflict, and cooperation on the Indian subcontinent. The goal of the game was twofold: to understand information-sharing, its impediments and effects on water sharing and decision-making, as well as understand how gaming could be a tool for social change. The game was executed in two instances, one in the Washington, DC area with U.S. subject matter experts, and [...]Mots-clés : Cross-cultural, Game
Maximum Similarity Index (MSI): A metric to differentiate the performance of novices vs. multiple-experts in serious games (Diffusion de nos travaux)
AbstractIn learning environments, appropriate objectives are needed to create the conditions for learning and consequently the performance to occur. It follows that appropriate metrics would also be necessary to properly measure what actually constitute performance in situ (within that environment), and to measure if learning has indeed occurred. Serious games environments can be problematic for performance measurement because publishers often posit the game would automatically facilit [...]Governance through Philitainment: Playing the Benevolent Subject (Diffusion de nos travaux)
AbstractThis article analyzes Free Rice within the context of “the rise of the ludic sublime,” where video games are hailed as the solution to highly sophisticated political problems. As part of what we call practices of “philitainment,” Free Rice, we argue, functions within the political domain of what Jodi Dean has termed “communicative capitalism” and therefore both captures resistance and actually solidifies global capitalism. Ultimately, th [...]Mots-clés : Digital Games, Critical Theory, Governmentality, Philitainment, Development

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

L'histoire de Carmageddon (Billet de Blog)
Carmageddon. Un jeu vidéo que même ceux qui n'y ont jamais joué connaissent par sa réputation, sulfureuse. Et pourtant, il est loin d'être uniquement "l'horrible jeu de course dans lequel il faut écraser des piétons" qui a défrayé la chronique à la fin des années 1990. Carmageddon est avant tout un excellent jeu, porteur de plusieurs innovations techniques et doté d'un gameplay qui secoua profondém [...]Mots-clés : histoire, carmageddon, stainless software, violence, scandale, censure, fun
About using serious games to teach (Portuguese) sign language (Diffusion de nos travaux)
Abstract Sign language is the form of communication used by Deaf people, which, in most cases have been learned since childhood. The problem arises when a non-Deaf tries to contact with a Deaf. For example, when nonDeaf parents try to communicate with their Deaf child. In most cases, this situation tends to happen when the parents did not have time to properly learn sign language. This dissertation proposes the teaching of sign language through the usage of serious games. Currently, similar [...]Mots-clés : Natural User Interface, Sign Language, Serious Game, Kinect Sensor, Image Processing
