“…From this context, serious games are underlined as games used for pedagogical purposes rather than mere entertainment. This might be a reason that the next generation will integrate more involved and shared games scenarios that will increase the learners' inspiration [13]. Some studies show that languages can be learned via serious games, others introduced specific topics in computer science; for instance, programing language in the field of computer science is a suitable module to be learned by a serious game, similarly learning languages is one of the best examples [8], [14], [15].…”

In this era, technology has a great impact on the educational system as they have on the other different areas of today’s life, for instance, smartphone devices are the best examples. Software technology vendors moving toward developing tremendous applications in the education field. However, the lack of applications that satisfy the ambition of those wishing to learn the Kurdish language is still an obstacle in this field, specifically the field of smartphone devices technology and gaming industry. Hence smartphone devices become user-friendly and necessary tools in every individuals’ life, as it is a multi-function device. In this paper we designed and implemented a smartphone application to learn the Kurdish language and improve vocabulary via a serious game. The application designed for android devices, enables users to learn and improve the Kurdish language. The application is also suitable for foreign people who desire to learn the Kurdish language. The system proposed in this paper introduces a smartphone application with an acceptable user interface for an exciting, interesting and challenging puzzle game at a time. The main goal is to learn Kurdish vocabulary using crossword puzzle, solving hidden words, find and circle the crossword in the puzzle solution in the context of a serious game.

“…In previous work [1], we argued that these technologies, in particular mobile devices, should be integrated into more global learning systems forming a set of heterogeneous platforms. This point of view addresses several issues at different granularity levels.…”

“…To explore these concepts, we proposed different scenarios integrating mobile or collaborative aspects in global learning environments (SEGAREM project described in next section). We also explored lighter applications using scenarios [1] and paperbased prototypes at the earlier stages of a user-centered design approach [12] to measure the collaborative potential of a learning scenario using tangible interactions on multitouch tabletops. This evaluation gave us some hints on the design quality but to go further in the evaluation, we need to implement the game and test some synchronization aspects.…”

“…Company management investments or gaining new market places are archetype scenarios used for SG. For this kind of SG a well-organized design process allowing team working is needed [4], as well as a development infrastructure, an IDE, allowing developing a simulator and user interfaces for all users [1]. These heavy applications require usually several years of developments [8].…”

International audienceMobile Serious Games are new kind of Serious Games which are running on mobile devices, mainly on Smartphones. With continuously increased power and User Interface facilities, they constitute an alternative to the usual entertainment applications proposed on Smartphones. To design and implement such applications, a methodological assistance and development support are required. In this paper, we present our contribution to rapid prototyping for Mobile Serious Games in which we propose to augment App Inventor for Android framework with a methodological assistance. This proposition is based on a study in which we asked to 116 students to use this framework for the development of mobile applications. The results are presented (thematic domain, targeted users, components used...) and we discuss the relevance of using such a tool to achieve rapid prototyping for mobile Serious Game

“…The second experiment concerns a mixed reality learning game. This type of games concerns domains that present the particularity of exhibiting both theoretical knowledge and practical know-how (operations in manufacturing or medicine, for example) [9]. For such practical domains, the full digital learning games are not efficient and especially cannot guarantee both effective learning and assessment of the techniques [10]: it is so important to come back to the real world and thus develop a mixed-reality learning game.…”

International audienceMulti-player learning games are complex software applications resulting from a costly and complex engineering process, and involving multiple stakeholders (domain experts, teachers, game designers, programmers, testers, etc.). Moreover, they are dynamic systems that evolve over time and implement complex interactions between objects and players. Usually, once a learning game is developed, testing activities are conducted by humans who explore the possible executions of the game’s scenario to detect bugs. The complexity and the dynamic nature of multiplayer learning games enforces the complexity of testing activities. Indeed, it is impracticable to explore manually all possible executions due to their huge number. Moreover, the test cannot verify some properties on multi-player and collaborative scenarios, such as paths leading to deadlock between learners or prevent learners to meet all objectives and win the game. This type of properties should be verified at the design stage. We propose a framework enabling a formal modeling of game scenarios and an associated automatic verification of learning game’s scenario at the design stage of the development process.We use Symmetric Petri nets as a modeling language and choose to verify properties by means of model checkers. This paper discusses the possibilities offered by this framework to verify learning game’s properties before the programming stage
