Concept and Design of a Mobile Learning Support System for Mentally Disabled People at the Workplace

In the past years a shift of learning places occurred, from classroom to workplace. Since mentally disabled people have difficulties in memorization and the loss of knowledge from classroom to workplace is high, this transformation gives an opportunity to improve their way of learning. However, at the present, there is no comparison solution that assists mentally disabled people at workplace with mobile technology. To resolve this problem this paper proposes a new concept and architecture of a system, which helps them to learn and improve their work abilities in context with mobile devices. Our approach is based on knowledge gained from research and workshops with mentally disabled people, as well as pedagogical and didactical aspects of design that fits the special needs of our target group.
