Towards Industrialized Conception and Production of Serious Games

Serious Games (SGs) have experienced a tremendous outburst these last years. Video game companies have been producing fun, user-friendly SGs, but their educational value has yet to be proven. Meanwhile, cognition research scientist have been developing SGs in such a way as to guarantee an educational gain, but the fun and attractive characteristics featured often would not meet the public's expectations. The ideal SG must combine these two aspects while still being economically viable. In this article, we propose a production chain model to efficiently conceive and produce SGs that are certified for their educational gain and fun qualities. Each step of this chain will be described along with the human actors, the tools and the documents that intervene

A Web-based System for Observing and Analyzing Computer Mediated Communications

Tracking data of user's activities resulting from Computer Mediated Communication (CMC) tools (forum, chat, etc.) is often carried out in an ad-hoc manner, which either confines the reusability of data in different purposes or makes data exploitation difficult. Our research works are biased toward methodological challenges involved in designing and developing a generic system for tracking user's activities while interacting with asynchronous communication tools like discussion forums. We present in this paper, an approach for building a Web-based system for observing and analyzing user activity on any type of discussion forums

Approximation properties of the qq-sine bases

For $q>12/11$ the eigenfunctions of the non-linear eigenvalue problem associated to the one-dimensional $q$-Laplacian are known to form a Riesz basis of $L^2(0,1)$. We examine in this paper the approximation properties of this family of functions and its dual, in order to establish non-orthogonal spectral methods for the $p$-Poisson boundary value problem and its corresponding parabolic time evolution initial value problem. The principal objective of our analysis is the determination of optimal values of $q$ for which the best approximation is achieved for a given $p$ problem.Comment: 20 pages, 11 figures and 2 tables. We have fixed a number of typos and added references. Changed the title to better reflect the conten

Rôles du tuteur

National audienceDans la littérature, le tuteur est nommé différemment, selon les rôles qu'on lui assigne : modérateur, facilitateur, tuteur en ligne, coach, mentor pédagogique, e-tuteur, accompagnateur... Dans cet article, nous nous attachons à mieux définir l'acteur de l' apprentissage que l' on nomme " tuteur " en étudiant ses rôles en fonction de trois facteurs : la médiatisation des communications (médiatisées ou non), la nature de la tâche (collaborative ou individuelle) et la temporalité de la formation (ponctuelle ou durable). Nous relevons ainsi 16 rôles dont la présence dépend de l'importance de chacun de ces facteurs. Ce travail a été réalisé dans le but d'identifier les difficultés et problèmes rencontrés par le tuteur en fonction du contexte de la formation, ses besoins et l'état actuel des outils existants pour y répondre

Victor Alexandre STOICHIŢĂ : Chants tsiganes de Roumanie. Pour chanter ensemble de 8 à 14 ans

On connaissait depuis 2007 le coffret Instruments et cultures : Introduction aux percussions du monde destiné aux enseignants et dont la rédaction des différents dossiers avait été confiée par la Cité de la musique (Paris) à des ethnomusicologues spécialistes de différentes aires culturelles. Ce nouvel ouvrage nous conforte dans l’idée que les ethnomusicologues devraient être plus présents dans le domaine de la pédagogie appliquée aux musiques traditionnelles et confirme le rôle de la Cité de..

Источники формирования ресурсов коммерческого банка

В статье дано определение понятий «банковские ресурсы» и «банковский капитал», рассмотрены вопросы, связанные с формированием ресурсов коммерческого банка, раскрыты их основные источники. Автором был проведен анализ депозитного портфеля на примере АО «Банк «Финансы и кредит», выявлена необходимость наращивания ресурсной базы банка, предложены мероприятия по совершенствованию процесса формирования банковских ресурсов. Ключевые слова: банк, банковские ресурсы, банковский капитал, пассивные операции банка, депозиты.У статті дано визначення понять «банківські ресурси» та «банківський капітал», розглянуті питання, пов'язані з формуванням ресурсів комерційного банку, розкрито їх основні джерела. Автором було проведено аналіз депозитного портфеля на прикладі АТ «Банк «Фінанси та кредит», виявлена необхідність нарощування ресурсної бази банку, запропоновані заходи щодо вдосконалення процесу формування банківських ресурсів. Ключові слова: банк, банківські ресурси, банківський капітал, пасивні операції банку, депозити.The article provides a definition of concepts such as "resource bank", "bank capital". This article discussed the definition of these resources by different authors. This article has been disclosed definition of passive operations of the bank. Also addressed issues related to the formation of commercial bank of resources. Were uncovered major sources of bank resources. The classification of the resource base. Sources of formation of bank resources were divided into two groups: the deposit and non-deposit. The article covers the main deposit and non-deposit sources of bank resources. The author analyzed the deposit portfolio as an example of "Bank" Finance and Credit "for the last three years. It was revealed that the strengthening of the banking institutions need to increase the resource base of banks. Availability of sufficient financial resources allows active banking operations in order to maximize profit levels and differentiation of risk. Now the formation of the resource base of commercial banks is one of the most important tasks for economic growth. There have also been proposed for improving the process of resource generation. Any bank is interested in increasing the volume of attracted deposits funds that are temporarily in his possession.
