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.

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 [...]Learning Without Knowing: A study of playfulness in educational games (Diffusion de nos travaux)

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
