Impact of Web 2.0 Technology on Students with Learning Difficulties: A State-of-the-Art and Future Challenges

Abstract

Learning difficulties are one of the significant barriers to the children's educational process. Learning difficulties include several aspects of life, not just learning at school and can affect how basic skills such as reading, writing and math are learned. Further, this problem affects how to learn high-level skills such as organization, time planning, abstract thinking, and long or short-term memory development. Hence, there is an imperative need to address this problem and to provide theoretical and practical solutions to untangle it. This paper proposes a methodology toward helping children to encounter learning difficulties through incorporating Web 2.0 technology. Through six designed phases, the proposed methodology is promising to enhance the learning quality of students with learning difficulties, and aims to improve their personal, mental and social development skills.
