Abstract

Diversity in learning style represents an obstacle teachers have to deal with. In the case of pupils with visual perception troubles, teachers cannot propose to students with difficult vision the same online material they propose to peers. Currently we are attempting to diminish the major obstacles this problem arises with the development within CRS4 of a system prototype that introduces two main characteristics: the teacher’s pedagogical support with the search of didactic resources over the Internet adapted to objects which have been predefined for others and the adaptation of these resources to the personal characteristics of end user, in this case both students with and without trouble of visual perception.
