| Popis: |
Adolescents with T1D often have poor control of their disease. With the knowledge that the current generation appreciates and learns more from interactive approaches to teaching, we have developed Power Defense, a highly interactive video game aimed at improving one particular skill associated with managing diabetes -- numeracy. Diabetes-related numeracy encompasses the ability to understand and interpret results and then appropriately apply the results to the management of diabetes. Power Defense employs the principals of experiential learning and includes both implicit and explicit methods for teaching the player the necessary diabetes numeracy skills. |
