معرفی
Pierre Laforcade is a researcher at the University of Le Mans, affiliated with the IEIAH (Laval) laboratory. His work focuses on applying Model-Driven Engineering (MDE) principles to Technology-Enhanced Learning (TEL), with a particular emphasis on serious games, gamification, and adaptive learning scenarios for children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). He develops domain-specific modeling methodologies and graphical instructional design languages to create specialized editors for educational applications.
His research spans three decades, with recent publications (2023-2025) exploring frameworks for generating personalized training games, mapping declarative knowledge to gameplay mechanics, and enhancing system maintainability through uncertain model transformations. Earlier work (2005-2021) concentrated on formalizing instructional design languages for Learning Management Systems (LMS) like Moodle, meta-modeling approaches, and visual scenario design using UML4LD.
