Abstract
Thanks to the knowledge related to Ergonomics in Design and Inclusive Design, the present work aims at finding and providing an opened and integrated approach to the disciplines of cognitive psychology, pedagogy and human-computer interaction by presenting field experiments on learning and case studies. The latter show novel co-design practices through the use of Human-Centered Design and Inclusive Design methods, which were pointed out by means of experiments conducted in collaboration with professionals, end users and people with Specific Learning Disabilities. Through the presentation of a pilot project dedicated to the SLDs, the final output of the work was to illustrate a developed inclusive learning platform and its operating rules. Moreover, the research highlighted the need for systems based on social networking, supporting not only accessibility but also autonomy, socialization and the ability to collectively build new meanings.
