Paper Abstract:
|
This paper presents a wireless distributed architecture for Personalized Educational Learning Environments PELE used for supporting students with disabilities and learning difficulties and the collaboration of these environments. The architecture aims at enabling accessibility for Deaf (D) and Hard-of-Hearing (HH) students as well as dyslexic students. Devices that support mobile learning, such as Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs) are integrated in educational scenarios to support educational activities, such as giving lectures in the mainstream class, attending classes, or working in the laboratory, participating in assessments and participating in exams. We present and discuss how wireless networks, personalization techniques, and mobile learning form an attractive and helpful framework for supporting specific categories of students with disabilities and learning difficulties. Some utilization scenarios (use cases) are also given to demonstrate the various types of teaching and personalized services provided by the architecture. |
