Pedagogical efficiency at the ludic level of a serious game

In this article, we aim at determining how to achieve acceptable pedagogical effectiveness at the ludic level. It is a question of identifying the mechanisms which will be useful to effectively exploit the serious game while preserving the balance of its educational and playful qualities. Here, we present an architecture for the evaluation of the effectiveness of a serious game based on the separation of the components of the game according to three distinct axes so that teachers can use a structured and categorized assessment methodology to successfully use serious games during a learning activity.
