Title: Health Risk Communication: Design and Digital Communication of Official Public Health Sources to Guide Citizens in Pandemic Situations
Abstract: This project's main objective is to
improve the risk communication in Health in situations
of pandemic, by official public health institutions of
the Portuguese Government and State. To this end, it is
based on the experience of the COVID-19 pandemic, where
the aim is to evaluate and improve the communication and
design of the different websites of these institutions,
created to communicate and interact with citizens,
namely the Directorate-General for Health (DGS) and the
National Health Service (SNS24). In this communication
we will present the main results of the study carried
out in the area of Design. In particular, the aim is to
demonstrate the contribution of Interface Design and
Infographics in conveying public health information
through the development of best practice guidelines
tested on a prototype.

Title: A Meta-Analytic Investigation of CAI on Mathematics Achievement
Abstract: This meta-analysis examined the research
question "What differences exist among the academic
achievement levels of mathematics students who were
exposed to computer-assisted instruction, and those who
were not exposed to this instruction?" Hence, a
comparison of the mathematics achievement between
students who received either traditional instruction or
traditional instruction supplemented with
computerassisted instruction (CAI) was conducted. From
the twenty-seven conclusions, an overall mean effect
size of 0.236 was calculated, indicating that, on
average, students receiving traditional instruction
supplemented with CAI attained higher academic
achievement than did 59.48 percent of those receiving
traditional instruction alone. Moreover, a .094
correlation between effect size years indicates that the
effect of CAI on mathematics achievement has slightly
increased during this period.
