Master's thesis Multimedia and Educational Technology MM500 - University of Agder 2019 This thesis explores if mobile devices could be used as a supportive elementto engage and interest young students in e-health by developing a prototypeto handle simulations of e-health scenarios in a serious game setting. Theprototype was to be used as a supportive tool for the research projectHighSchool Students as Co-researchers in eHealth. An iterative design processwas deployed to develop the prototype, going through multiple steps periteration, focusing on design and development, testing, and evaluation. Theresults from all of the testing were examined, and compared with the researchquestions regarding whether or not mobile devices are useful as supportivetools to engage and interest students. It is hoped that the study encouragesfuture use of mobile devices in education and learning.
