Guillaume Decormeille; Thomas Geeraerts; Médéric Descoins; Nathalie Huet – Applied Cognitive Psychology, 2025
Screen-based simulation (SBS) can complement traditional nursing courses. We compared the effect of innovative virtual environments not widespread in French nursing schools on self-efficacy, quiz performance, and self-regulated learning behaviors. This quasi-experimental study involved 1183 student nurses. Participants were divided into an…

Gadille, Martine; Impedovo, Maria Antonietta; Rémon, Josephine; Corvasce, Caroline – Information and Learning Sciences, 2021
Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to understand how the creativity of pupils and teachers is nurtured through the use of a virtual world (VW) within a sociotechnical network affecting pupils' learning in a pilot secondary school. Design/methodology/approach: The analysis is the result of a pluri-disciplinary systemic analysis involving…

Zoghlami, Naouel, Ed.; Brudermann, Cédric, Ed.; Sarré, Cedric, Ed.; Grosbois, Muriel, Ed.; Bradley, Linda, Ed.; Thouësny, Sylvie, Ed. – Research-publishing.net, 2021
The 2021 EUROCALL conference engaged just under 250 speakers from 40 different countries. Cnam Paris and Sorbonne Université joined forces to host and organise the event despite the challenging context due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Originally programmed to be held on site in the heart of Paris, France, the EUROCALL organising team and executive…

Marty, Jean-Charles; Carron, Thibault; Pernelle, Philippe; Talbot, Stéphane; Houzet, Gregory – International Journal of Game-Based Learning, 2015
The authors' research work deals with the development of new game-based learning (gbl) environments. They think that the way of acquiring knowledge during a learning session is similar to following an adventure in a role-playing game and they apply the metaphor of exploring a virtual world, where each student embarks on a quest in order to collect…

Brown, Malcolm; McCormack, Mark; Reeves, Jamie; Brooks, D. Christopher; Grajek, Susan – EDUCAUSE, 2020
In assuming ownership of the Horizon Report, EDUCAUSE recognized the challenges of anticipating the future. The authors have, in this first major revision of the report's methodology, structure, and content, striven to break the mold of the classic Horizon Report without losing its essential purpose. The report begins with a scan of the current…

Privas-Bréauté, Virginie – The EUROCALL Review, 2016
In this article, we shall examine why the creation of avatars in virtual worlds facilitates the learning of business English. We are committed to determining the factors that enable students in a French business school to consolidate their skills in English (from linguistic, socio-linguistic and pragmatic standpoints) and to develop more general…

Booth, Paul; Guinmard, Isabelle; Lloyd, Elizabeth – The EUROCALL Review, 2017
With the development of online language learning comes a growing need for courses in language teaching to incorporate educational technologies into course content. The challenge this development poses is how to incorporate educational technologies in teacher education programmes to prepare teachers for online language teaching. This study explores…

Ney, Muriel; Gonçalves, Celso; Balacheff, Nicolas – IEEE Transactions on Learning Technologies, 2014
Simulation games are games for learning based on a reference in the real world. We propose a model for authenticity in this context as a result of a compromise among learning, playing and realism. In the health game used to apply this model, students interact with characters in the game through phone messages, mail messages, SMS and video.…

Pelet, Jean-Eric; Lecat, Benoît – International Journal of Virtual and Personal Learning Environments, 2012
The authors' research examines the effectiveness of a web-based virtual learning environment (VLE) in the context of management studies. This article provides two main contributions. First, an exploratory study introduces and describes the concept of VLE applied to the training of seven students in an "interactivity design" (IS) course.…

Bailly, Sophie; Ciekanski, Maud; Guély-Costa, Eglantine – The EUROCALL Review, 2013
This article describes the rationale for pedagogical, technological and organizational choices in the design of a web-based and open virtual learning environment (VLE) promoting and sustaining self-directed language learning. Based on the last forty years of research on learner autonomy at the CRAPEL according to Holec's definition (1988), we…

Schleich, Jean-Marc; Dillenseger, Jean-Louis; Houyel, Lucile; Almange, Claude; Anderson, Robert H. – Anatomical Sciences Education, 2009
Learning embryology remains difficult, since it requires understanding of many complex phenomena. The temporal evolution of developmental events has classically been illustrated using cartoons, which create difficulty in linking spatial and temporal aspects, such correlation being the keystone of descriptive embryology. We synthesized the…
