Do you have an opinion on educational games? Take part in the OiEau survey!
OiEau, a recognised public interest organisation, is launching a survey on educational games. Whether you use them for professional, personal or leisure purposes, we are interested in your experience as a user! Filling out our anonymous questionnaire, which is open to everyone, will take just five minutes and you will be contributing to a project that benefits the community!
Our goal? To improve knowledge of the methods and tools used to raise awareness and share information, regardless of the topic.
As part of a project to raise public awareness of water, biodiversity and the marine environment through the use of educational games, OiEau is launching an anonymous survey with technical and financial support from the French Office for Biodiversity (OFB). The aim of this three-year initiative, which will begin on 25 August 2025, is to acquire the keys to understanding and success necessary for the design of educational games.
As there is no definition of educational games in the various dictionaries approved by the Académie Française, OiEau is basing its study on the following definition: ‘Educational games can be considered as the combination of educational processes and entertainment codes to create an enjoyable and interesting medium for conveying relevant and useful information.’
As a first step, OiEau aims to establish an inventory of existing knowledge on these tools in order to eventually develop one or more tools capable of raising awareness and educating citizens on these environmental issues.
Have you ever played any kind of game, whether video games, digital simulation games, analogue games, role-playing games, board games, etc.? Your experience would be very useful to us.
Our anonymous survey consists of a very simple questionnaire, inviting you to answer closed questions with single or multiple choice answers. To share your experience in more detail, there is also an open question. It will only take five minutes to complete.
Your answers will provide valuable information that will help us evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of this type of tool. The OiEau will then be able to design solutions that are better suited to the needs and constraints of users.
The results of this survey will be published on our association's website so that any organisation or individual wishing to do so can engage in an awareness-raising initiative using this educational method.
