Design and Evaluation of an Inclusive Multidevice and Customizable Educational Web Game following the EduGameAccess-M set
Abstract
This article presents the Forca Inclusiva's design, implementation and evaluation process. Forca Inclusiva is an educational game with customizable content, designed to include visually impaired people. The design process was guided by the set of recommendations EduGameAccess-M, which integrates educational, gameplay and accessibility aspects for people with visual impairments in multi-device games. The main aim of the research was to investigate the effectiveness of the referred set of recommendations in the design and evaluation of an inclusive web educational game, in versions for desktop and mobile devices. The initial results indicate that the proposed set was effective in supporting the development of the aforementioned game. This work was developed in the scope of the research project: Jogos e a Inclusão na Educação (Edital de Inovação CAPES - 42/2017).
