METHOD Methodological, construction and validation study with qualitative data approach on the content of a virtual learning object, conducted between August and September 2016. RESULTS The game was developed in 13 screens, of which nine presented contents of basic life support, and the others presented general guidelines for progress in the game. The five suggestions of the experts were accepted by the researchers, and were mostly related to organization, clarity and vocabulary. No item was considered inappropriate by the judges, and the game had a mean content validity index of 0.96 and a Kappa value of 0.92. In the Likert scale evaluation, the game was considered in all analyzes as an excellent content for a virtual learning object. CONCLUSION This learning technology is expected to support teaching of basic life support techniques for academics and health professionals, and to stimulate the development of similar teaching strategies in other scenarios, in order to bring advancements to the design of health training processes.
