Results: the multimedia “Cochlear Implant” was developed, counting on five functionalities: topics, exercise, library, games and help. It constitutes an interactive means that propitiates knowledge and self-evaluation, incentivizing research interest. Besides, it can be used in the subject Morphology and Physiology.
