The production of a gamified Learning Object accessible to people with visual or hearing disabilities for teaching Geometry

Abstract

The inclusion of people with disabilities in regular schools needs to be effective. Therefore, appropriated teaching methods, materials and capacitated teachers are indispensable factors. By using learning objects, it is necessary to ensure that they were built considering the needs of people with disabilities, which means the possibility of using accessibility resources. In this work, only visual and hearing disabilities were considered. The bibliographic review on Distance Education, gamification and accessibility has guided the construction of a gamified and accessible Learning Object for calculating the triangles' perimeter. As a result, the article brings the steps for building a LO, its navigation map and the description of the accessibility features that were used.
