Virtual office for students with learning difficulties

摘要

People with learning difficulties often face lack of opportunities in their everyday lives, and less than 10% of them have a job (Brown et al, 2010). This group needs additional support and innovative pedagogical approaches, matched to their needs, to develop skills for work and independent living. We developed a virtual office for students with learning difficulties, which teaches them how to get their first identity or national health insurance card, passport and European health insurance card. In this paper we address questions related to the design and evaluation of games developed to suit the needs of people with individual learning needs.
