As a result, teachers are taking advantage of ICTs to include mobile devices such as Tablets or Smartphones inside the classroom as playful support material to motivate children during their learning. Designing an interactive experience for a child with a special need such as a hearing impairment is a great challenge. In this article, two interactive systems are depicted, using a non-traditional interaction, by the following stages: analysis, design and implementation, with the participation of children with cochlear implant in the Institute of Blind and Deaf Children of Valle del Cauca, Colombia and the ASPAS Institute, Mallorca, Spain, who evaluated both interactive systems, PHONOMAGIC and CASETO. Positive results were obtained, showing that the use of real objects can greatly influence the environment in which children interact with the game, allowing them to explore and manipulate the objects supporting their teaching-learning processes.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s18072154","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,7,4]],"date-time":"2018-07-04T12:23:02Z","timestamp":1530706982000},"page":"2154","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Designing Interactive Experiences for Children with Cochlear Implant"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"18","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9583-8532","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sandra","family":"Cano","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Multimedia Program, Universidad San Buenaventura Cali, 760032 Cali, Colombia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8628-0327","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Leandro","family":"Fl\u00f3rez-Aristiz\u00e1bal","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Systems Program, Universidad del Cauca, 190001 Popay\u00e1n, Colombia"},{"name":"Systems Program, Instituci\u00f3n Universitaria Antonio Jos\u00e9 Camacho, 760032 Cali, Colombia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7099-8131","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"C\u00e9sar","family":"Collazos","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Systems Program, Universidad del Cauca, 190001 Popay\u00e1n, Colombia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Habib","family":"Fardaoun","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Information Technology, Ahlia University Bahrain, 999 Manama, Bahrain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5533-3203","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Daniyal","family":"Alghazzawi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Computing and Information Technology, King Abdulaziz University, 21577 Jeddah, Saudi Arabia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,7,4]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"370","DOI":"10.1016\/j.chb.2011.10.006","article-title":"Information Technology use and Creativity: Finding from the children and Technology Project","volume":"28","author":"Jackson","year":"2010","journal-title":"Comput.
