Title
A computer supported learning environment to support pupils with cognitive disabilities and their teachers
Abstract
Although there is no doubt that computers are highly capable to provide pupils with cognitive disabilities in learning we observe an immense lack of professional learning software for this target group. There are few products designed by special education teachers with a high level of instructional design but at a low technical level, unflexible and not adaptable. In contrast there are loads of colorful animated commercial products, mostly designed for primary school pupil and often with absence of any instructional quality. In our project we want to overcome these problems by developing a learning platform which meets the needs of both, the pupils with cognitive disabilities and their teachers. In this interactive presentation will present an overview of this platform and give some examples of good practice as well as latest results of an ongoing study about facilitating communication between pupils with cognitive disabilities using a CSCL setting.
