Abstract

Schoolwork of learners with developmental and attention deficits is often characterised by low productivity, many errors due to carelessness or inattention and poor organisational ability. Focus learners have difficulties performing at the same level as their peers. This paper addresses the challenges and investigates the potential of technologies for creating and facilitating environments, where learners are well-supported with respect to overviewing, structuring and planning tasks, evaluating and adjusting participation and management of time.

Keywords: Inclusion Learning Digital technology Attention deficit Structure and overview
