Le site d'emploi et de recrutement français Keework a conçu un serious game permettant aux internautes d'avoir une idée de leur travail idéal. Une fois dans le jeu, le joueur passe quelques jours dans un bureau à effectuer diverses tâches. Un individu spécialisé dans l'orientation professionnelle lui posera quelques questions pour orienter le jeu et produire un résultat en fin de partie. Une fois la partie terminée, le site donne au joueur des suggestions d'emploi de rêve.

By Anastasia Salter. I’ve been blogging about Games in the Classroom here on ProfHacker for some time, and I’m very excited to be putting some of these lessons together in a week-long institute as part of the Humanities Intensive Learning and Teaching institute at the University of Maryland this summer, August 4th–8th.

If you’re interested in trying this out for yourself, here are some challenges for getting started. More...
Par Caroline Brizard. La vente, le management, le soin... Tous cela s'apprend désormais grâce aux "serious games" qui déferlent dans les entreprises. Imaginez : vous devez annoncer à votre collaboratrice Alison, qui rentre de vacances, qu'on ne lui a pas confié le projet qu'elle espérait obtenir. Elle est furieuse, et l'entretien risque de mal tourner. Quelle attitude adopter ? Conciliante ? Défensive ? Ou plutôt sèche, pour couper court à la discussion ? Elle entre. C'est à vous ! Voilà un jeu vidéo en 3D qui ressemble furieusement à la vraie vie. Suite...
Blog Educpros d'Emmanuelle Emy-Newton. Recreating Reality in Serious Games: the Sensitive Question of Framing. There is one important distinction between a game and a video game: in the former, the rules are written on paper, and you need to read and understand them before you start playing.

Blog Educpros de Hélène Michel. Higher education organizations use different strategies when implementing serious games in their learning process. Each of these strategies aims at reaching specific Key Performance Indicators (from students’ satisfaction to organizational benefits or ROI) and therefore corresponds to different deployment conditions. From my personal experience and some analysis, I think that there is a progression curve from a “Recycling” to “Co-branding” Strategy. Suite...
Blog Educpros de Hélène Michel. Serious Games have been widely developed as learning methods since the 2000s and are now challenging higher education organizations, not just on their learning method but also on their strategic approach.
For the Financial Time, I defined Serious Games “as games designed for a purpose beyond pure entertainment. They use the motivation levers of game design – such as competition, curiosity, collaboration, individual challenge – and game media, including board games through physical representation or video games, through avatars and 3D immersion, to enhance the motivation of participants to engage in complex or boring tasks.

Nous avons rencontré le 21 janvier 2014 Eric Sanchez, maître de conférences à l'Institut français de l'Éducation, ENS de Lyon, et professeur associé à l'Université de Sherbrooke, QC, Canada.
Les jeux sérieux sont la traduction de l’anglais de « serious games ». Quels apprentissages sont adaptés aux jeux sérieux ?
