Facial expression recognition teaching to preschoolers with autism: a natural user interface approach (Diffusion de nos travaux)
The recognition of facial expressions is important for the perception of emotions. Understanding emotions is essential in human communication and social interaction. Children with autism have been reported to exhibit deficits in the recognition of affective expressions. Their difficulties in understanding and expressing emotions lead to inappropriate behavior derived from their inability to interact adequately with other people. Those deficits seem to be rather permanent in individuals with auti [...]Serious games for disseminating the knowledge of ancient manuscripts: a case study (Diffusion de nos travaux)

Rather, there are those who claim that many educational systems hinder [...]Mots-clés : Creativité, Game-Based Learning, Game design
An Efficient Game Level Generation in Web-Based Serious Game (Diffusion de nos travaux)
Despite the growing interest in interactive storytelling techniques, their actual applications to traditional gameplay design remain to be investigated. However, many game designers have expressed concerns about the incorporation of such generative techniques in traditional game titles, mainly because of the lack of control they will have over dynamically generated content. This paper proposes an authoring tool allowing game designers to formalize, visualize, modify, and validate game level solu [...]Mots-clés : Cultural Heritage , Game Level Design, Gameplay, Serious Game

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
