Abstract

Numerous studies have explored the using of serious games as methodological tools for improving crisis
management. Training in the Emergency Medical Services (EMS) field requires a combination of
approaches and techniques to acquire medical skills with unanticipated events and to develop the capability
to cooperate and coordinate individual emergency activities towards a collective effort. Crisis management
is a special type of collaborative situations that why we propose a participative and knowledge-intensive
serious game, as a collaborative e-learning tool for training (EMS). We believe that emergencies doctors
learn best through real life experiences and serious games have the ability to simulate situations that are
impossible to generate in a real-life exercise due to high cost, safety and complex environment related to
situations. However, our approach takes into account the presence of different actors in crisis situation like
police and firefighters and the high volume of (medical as well as non-medical) expert knowledge.
