Abstract

The Deaf people constitute minority communities that, for many years, suffered with the lack of tools for teaching and learning materials based on Sign Language - the natural language that define their social identity and culture. The Education Informatics presents great potential in development of tools for teaching support, but have not produced effective tools for Deaf people, especially to support the learning process of Deaf children. Educational Games have shown successful experiences when used in the learning process of different knowledge fields and the results tend to be more relevant when such games are used with children and teenagers. However, the development of an educational game requires several skills related to software engineering, programming, design, illustration, pedagogy, among others. This paper presents a framework for design of effective educational games for Deaf children based on Children Teaching Methodology and Educational Digital Games literature. The results include: the application of the framework in creating a web authoring tool that allows non-experts in game design, such as Deaf children teachers, to create educational games in a simple and semi-automatic way; and an example game generated by the tool.
