How to develop serious games for social and cognitive competence of children with learning difficulties

Abstract

In this paper what we discovered is presented, starting from gathering requirements to design and implementation in the European project called “Intelligent Serious Games for Social and Cognitive Competence”. Our main goal with the project is to make serious games with the aim to develop social and cognitive competence of children with learning difficulties and to educate them about social skills, basic skills, key cognitive competence skills and work skills. With the help of 3D simulations and these serious mobile applications which are interactive, the social integration and personal development of the young generation is assisted. Serious games and 3D simulations are utilised by this project so teaching and learning can turn into something interesting, playful, engaging and efficient.
