Summary
Learning basic techniques and behaviors in cases of respiratory and cardiac injuries contributes to an appropriate response at that time and increases the survival of the injured persons. A learning process that incorporates practical exercises with real models medical mannequins is not always easy or possible, but it’s easier to get that using a video game. Our experience in High Schools shows that students learn how to respond to this situation by playing video games (the one developed with e-Adventure is available for free at the CATEDU's website.

Summary
Members of the Massachusetts General Hospital working in the processing and mailing of infectious agents must obtain and renew every two years a certification of their knowledge about the preparation of submissions. This course, traditionally taught in person, includes theoretical presentations and practical demonstrations. The hospital, in collaboration with the eUCM Group of The Complutense University of Madrid, has developed a new online certification course, in which demonstrations are replaced by a simulation using game elements developed with e-Adventure. The simulation is proposed as a practical test, and it is required to overcome the game to get the certification. This talk will present an online course that is currently deployed in the hospital, including the assessment simulation.

Summary
Practical teaching is irreplaceable in Medicine. Experience is a key in clinical outcomes, that may be aggravated by malpractice (eg. Increase of infections). In this regard, it is particularly problematic in the operating room, where sterile conditions and sterility can be altered very easily; so that the first experience in operating room creates great stress on students. Therefore, it’s necessary to instruct them on how to act in this new situation to reduce the stress and to avoid mistakes. To get this, educational video games can be helpful, so this presentation will describe a practical experience of creating a video game with e-Adventure and its evaluation experts and students.

Summary
In recent years a growing interest even on the application of digital games as educational material. On the other hand we have also assisted the growth of mobile technologies and their potential to develop new ways of learning. One of the research group's latest <e-UCM> Complutense University of Madrid focuses on how to take full advantage of both trends through a common, ubiquitous learning based on digital games.
