Abstract
Nowadays most universities use different distance learning environments. However in the educational process besides forums, chats and other collaborative possibilities the content of the subject matter to be taught is normally done using static file formats. Specific Learning games can improve the student experience by enhancing motivation and interest in the subject. In this paper we present a learning game aimed at adapting the teaching of sports to handicapped people. The experiments show how the learning experience of the students can be improved using our simulator tool.
