Redesign do software Educatea utilizando gamificação e as diretrizes do Gaia

Abstract

Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) present particular characteristics, the main ones being: delay in communication, difficulty in social interaction and concentration problems. These characteristics can hinder the child’s social and educational development. Even with these challenges, technology has proven to be an important ally in intervention to minimize these difficulties. In this context, EducaTea, an application designed to assist in the development of children with ASD, plays a crucial role. This work aims to improve the design and accessibility of the EducaTea prototype, thus allowing the project to be developed and implemented. To achieve this objective, a study of EducaTea documentation will be carried out, an analysis of work related to the evaluation/inspection of applications for children with ASD, and an analysis of work related to the use of gamification to assist in the learning process of children with ASD. With this, the new prototype will be created, based on the information collected in the previous stage, where the application’s visual identity, wireframes, high-fidelity prototypes and refinement of the prototype will be developed. Finally, an inspection will be carried out using GAIA guidelines in order to analyze the accessibility of the application.
