It is a well-known fact that cognitive skills tend to decline in elderly people. There are several approaches that try to reduce the cognitive losses. One of the most prominent is cognitive training through serious games in several game sessions. This paper introduces a data model and a database for storing computer-based cognitive training data. Using this database, researchers have an integrated database that allows for extracting useful information that can be input for statistical analysis and further data mining tasks. In order to evaluate the feasibility of the proposed approach we have performed a statistical analysis on the evaluations of the ”Eye for Detail” game stored in the proposed database. Results reinforced the potential of the database as a rich source of information.
Este artigo descreve um plano de testes para auxiliar a avaliação de acessibilidade de páginas e sítios na Web. O plano é uma extensão do planejamento de avaliação de acessibilidade inerente aos critérios de sucesso das WCAG 2.0. Essa avaliação é reconhecidamente complexa e volumosa. Além disso, os resultados desse processo apenas indicam os itens que não estão em conformidade com os critérios de sucesso, sem sugerir soluções. Sendo assim, o plano de testes apresentado neste trabalho traz duas contribuições: i) ordena as etapas de avaliação; e ii) inclui no relatório final as sugestões de correção para cada falha.
The central issue in the curriculum development process is to identify which knowledge is considered important, valid or essential to be considered part of the curriculum. Considering the areas of Informatics and Computing, curriculum development proves to be even more challenging. Since the advent and substantial development of these areas occurred effectively in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, there is no multi-century maturity. In this sense, the purpose of this article is to present a report about the curricular conception of the Technical Course
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
