Achei a Palavra: um objeto de aprendizagem colaborativo para apoiar a alfabetização

Abstract

This paper presents the design and development of a Web Learning Object (LO) called “Achei a Palavra” (AaP) and a comparison with other similar LO that are being used in the literacy process, pointing out their strengths and drawbacks. This LO presents game features, as it is inspired by the game of hangman, and proposes that its users should guess the letters of a particular word that is presented as the challenge of the game. This gives the student a tool with which she can interact to learn the words in a fun way. The challenges are illustrated by images and audios regarding the words and they can be included by teachers in a collaborative way, exploring different contexts.
