INTERACCT is a multidisciplinary research project, where a communication tool in form of a serious video game was implemented. Target group are young and adolescent patients which suffered leukaemia or similar diseases that indicate a stem cell transplantation as therapy. After the transplantation, patients are required to stay at home for 12-24 months and report their health status to their after-care medical team. To ease this reporting process, INTERACCT was conceptualized and a prototype was implemented. Through smartphones, tablets or desktop PCs the patients report their data to the medical team, which accesses this data through a newly developed web-system. The system is highly adaptable and customizable, and can be further extended using state-of-the-art technologies like Microsoft KINECT. This paper describes background information, the concept and finally the implementation of the prototype system.

“…Merging learning, mobility and digital games, this research develops means to assist the school reinforcement of AMO patients and families. Based on this and considering the age group of the subjects, we understand that digital games (Branco and Max, 2011;Barbosa et al, 2014;Barbosa et al, 2011) are more appropriate as means to assist in the needs of the subjects involved in the research. So, elements such as usability and gameplay must be evaluated considering the profile of the subjects of the research.…”

“…The 2D educational game called "Corrida Gramatical" will be used as an evaluation object of usability and gameplay by the researched subjects. "Corrida Gramatical" (Barbosa et al, 2014) was developed for tablets, this is a runner type game, with a cartoon-based graphic, where the character is always in motion. The objective of this game is to reinforce Portuguese grammar, one of the school subjects in which Brazilians experience greater difficulty.…”

This paper presents a method to evaluate usability and gameplay efficiency for educational games developed for children undergoing cancer treatment, as well as a case study involving the game “Corrida Gramatical”. The methodology of this paper consists of the use of tablets by patients aged 10 to 15 years old to evaluate and quantify the usability and gameplay of the game, while the process is documented through non-participant observation, a System Usability Scale (SUS) questionnaire and a semi-structured interview. The proposed method has proved to be supportive in the evaluation of existing educational games, considering the participants of the research, as well as in the improvement of the game by analyzing the flaws identified in the game design. For future studies, we intend to change the inclusion criteria to select a larger group of patients and reaffirm the effectiveness of the proposed method.

“…Nesse cenário, percebemos o quanto as tecnologias móveis podem colaborar para melhorar o processo de ensino e de aprendizagem dos sujeitos da AMO. A utilização de dispositivos móveis como tablets, durante o processo de estudo dos sujeitos, pode abrir muitas oportunidades para trabalhar a criatividade e a curiosidade, ao mesmo tempo em que se torna um elemento de motivação e colaboração na formação e no tratamento dos sujeitos, uma vez que o processo de aprendizagem se torna atraente, divertido e significativo e auxilia na resolução de problemas que podem ser resolvidos individualmente ou coletivamente (BARBOSA, 2014;BARBOSA, 2013).…”

Resumo: O presente artigo visa mostrar os benefícios do uso educacional das tecnologias móveis, através do trabalho de pesquisa realizado com crianças em tratamento oncológico que, devido aos períodos de tratamento, não concluem os conteúdos escolares no mesmo ritmo dos demais estudantes. O trabalho, realizado na Associação de Assistência em Oncopediatria -AMO, envolveu a produção de uma história em um contexto de educação não escolar, produzindo resultados que permitiram observar o desenvolvimento linguístico e o uso de tecnologias móveis como possibilidades educacionais, demonstrando como a aprendizagem com mobilidade pode contribuir para o desenvolvimento educacional de cada indivíduo. Palavras Chave: Aprendizagem com Mobilidade, Educação Não-escolar, Tablets.Abstract: This article aims to show the benefits of educational use of mobile technologies with children and teenagers in oncological treatment. Due to periods of treatment, these subjects do not conclude educational content at the same rate of other students. The research work in progress, performed at the Association of Assistance in Pediatric Oncology -AMO, has involved the production of a story in a Non-Formal Educational setting, producing results, which allowed observing linguistic development and the use of mobile technologies as educational possibilities. It demonstrates how mobile learning can contribute to the educational development of each individual. Keywords: Mobile Learning, Non-Formal Education, Tablets.
