Paper Abstract:
|
Usage of mobile technology is growing rapidly, and it affects other technologies by bringing in new innovation and approaches. Mobile learning can be seen as a bridge between higher level of abstracted knowledge and practical experiences, which supports the adaptation in a learning process. Our approach is a mobile learning application for people with cognitive impairments at their workplace to help them to learn and keep back in mind the work-steps they have to do. For these people it is important to learn at the place they have to work, as their ability to abstract something is very low or not existent. For their personal development it is important to become more and more autonomous in learning and working. This implies a specific support of their autonomous actions. Furthermore it is significant to keep the used speech in a low level to prevent overwhelming the users. There are hardly applications comparable for this target group in this area, thus we think that it is an interesting area of research in that we could develop new research results. The application will be useable on mobile devices so the users can interact with it at the places they need the information. It will try to adjust itself to the abilities and the mood of the user. This enables to support them by their autonomous actions. Results of this research will be developed by empirical studies in cooperation with a shelter workshop. |
