Abstract
Serious games rely on two main types of competence and expertise: the game designer’s and the teacher’s. One of the main problems in creating a serious game that is both amusing and educational, and efficiently so, is building a cooperative environment allowing both types of experts to understand each other and communicate with a common language. The aim of this paper is to create such a language using Design Patterns based on our framework: the Six Facets of Serious Game Design. If many design patterns already exist for the game design aspects, they are in short supply on the pedagogical side.
