Intelligent mobile interaction: A learning system for mentally disabled people (IMLIS)

Abstract

This paper describes the main ideas and the architecture of a system called Intelligent Mobile Learning Interaction system (IMLIS) that provides a mobile learning environment for mentally disabled people. The design of IMLIS is based on the idea to adjust its content, the kind of tasks and the mode of display to specific needs of individuals and to engage them for learning activities with new learning motivations due to IMLIS' dynamic structure and flexible patterns. We apply knowledge from the field of research and practice with mentally disabled people as well as pedagogical and didactical aspects in the design. © 2009 Springer Berlin Heidelberg.
