Abstract:Videogames have become educational, communicative and social tools among the youngest, favouring the acquisition of skills, abilities and values, encompassing an endless number of themes, and help to experience and to face, in the first person, a great diversity of environmental situations and ecology problems. Thus, the present article aims: a) the evaluation of a sample of 20 educational videogames about water, making use of some empirical criteria of quality; and b) the design, validation and application of an integrate quality indicator of educational videogames on water, based on the aspects of narrative, gameplay and didactics to that sample, which allows us to obtain a ranking. The findings reflect a ranking of games allows to suggest that the nature of the game (simulation, adventures, platforms or questions) does not determine the quality of the game, although generally simulations and adventure games are placed in a range of medium or high quality, as well as those games that pursue objectives related to the design and management of a territory in a sustainable way. The paper provides teachers with quality criteria based on narrative and gameplay that complement and enriches the pedagogical dimension.

“…The scenario is a learning flow process that guides the learner in his knowledge-building process throughout his training. The consideration of individual self-learning situations guided the instructional scenarios design of KSMS as a school without teachers, and the metacognitive strategies including those of self-observation, self-assessment and, in particular, the debriefing defined as "the processing of game experience to turn it into learning" (Crookal, 2010).…”

Abstract:The design of educational Serious Games (SG) remains a difficult operation which requires a tight weave between practices in instructional design and game design to be effective. Despite excellent works in the domain, the balance problem increases more significantly in the mobile learning system development such as Kids Smart Mobile School (KSMS) as a SG. KSMS is a school that aims to provide learning from K to 12 in Math and English as a Second Language to children without access to school in developing countries. This paper proposes a solution by designing a pedagogical pattern of a Learning Game Scenario, based on the educational Montessori approach mixed up with instructional engineering technique. This pattern is applicable to the various learning phases, making up the structure cognitive and pedagogical of KSMS. Moreover, this paper indicates how this pedagogical pattern makes easier the communication between members of an interdisciplinary team in different phases of design and development.

“…After serious gaming, patient experiences are debriefed to facilitate transfer into targeted individual learning results [46]. In LAKA, patient players perform alternate tasks vicariously; they select optional responses in various encounters with other characters, monitor and evaluate satisfaction about selected responses (and their consequences), and meditate (3-minute exercises).…”

Background: Current evidence for the effectiveness of specialist multidisciplinary programs for burdensome chronic pain and functional somatic syndromes drive effort to improve approaches, strategies, and delivery modes. It is unknown to what extent and in what respect serious gaming during regular outpatient rehabilitation can contribute to health outcomes. Objective: Study objectives are: to determine the effect of additional serious gaming on 1) physical and/or emotional functioning in general, 2) particular outcome domains, and 3) patient global impressions of change, general health, and functioning; and to determine 4) dependency of serious gaming effects on adherence. Methods: A naturalistic quasi-experiment with embedded qualitative methods was conducted. Intervention group patients received an additional guided (mindfulness based) serious gaming intervention ('LAKA') during week 9-12 of a 16-week rehabilitation program at 2 sites of a Dutch rehabilitation clinic. Simultaneously, 119 control group patients followed the same program without serious gaming at 2 similar sites of the same clinic. Data consisted of 10 semi-structured patient interviews and routinely collected patient self-reported outcomes. First, multivariate
