The Design of Generic Serious Game Shell

In order to facilitate the use of online serious games in schools, a team from the Centre for expertise and research in lifelong learning (SAVIE), under the supervision of professor and researcher Louise Sauvé, focused on developing and experimenting on the Generic Serious Game Shell (GSGS). This is done in order to equip teachers with the ability to easily develop online educational games which are adapted to their pedagogical needs. This paper presents the process and guidelines (pedagogical and technical) that guided the development of GSGS as well as an example of a serious game - Escouade H2O.
