• Resumen

  • This paper provides information about a multilingual (Portuguese, English, Spanish, Italian, and French) virtual card game for computers and smartphones. Facing the disruption caused by the Covid-19 pandemic, this game allows students to play remotely or face-to-face with friends in a fun and cooperative environment and review the topics related to the structural theory of organic compounds simultaneously. Brazilian and Italian undergraduate students played and evaluated the game positively. Also, learning assessments revealed that the game promotes learning equivalent to the traditional solving-problem classes. Therefore, the game is a playful alternative method to the conventional educational strategies for reviewing the content related to the structural theory of organic compounds in a fun way in a collaborative environment in which the students discuss the answer to each question.
