The objective of this research to administrate the power of user experience in developing a system for visually impaired and blind users. In addition to help blind users in defining the criteria of systems that is appropriate for them. This paper has accomplished to point out the importance of the technology that can assist without interference of human and show the loopholes in the current technology. There are different methodology has been used to implement the development and design of application. The traditional approach to develop software has been followed along with some new methodology that is incorporating new devices in the system. My research designed to find out how people feel or what they think while using system. Project management methodologies simply define principles, like agile that is one of the best SDLC models that is very flexible, iterative design and build process. The approach that is used called prototype modelling which used for interviewing the user and make a demo type of the final product by adopted a both type of approach to analyses the procedure of development.","PeriodicalId":129665,"journal":{"name":"2017 6th International Conference on Information and Communication Technology and Accessibility (ICTA)","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130738804","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We moved then from a teacher-directed learning to learner-centered learning. Thus, after having suffered from institutional constraints (imposed curriculum, fixed planning), the learner could today, thanks to technological evolution, rely on himself to control his learning. The Learning Environments came to enable learners to carry out their learning activities. Nevertheless, they remain limited to the personalization level. It is then obvious that the satisfaction of learners is not complete. The following question was arose: Can the learner build his/her own learning experience? This option has become plausible with the emergence of the Personal Learning Environments (PLE). However, with their advent, each learner has become master of his/her learning. So, we are faced with a complex and rich landscape characterized by the abundance and proliferation of web tools and resources. We have developed an assistance approach for PLE learners to face this complexity. We have developed also a prototype that implement our approach for experimental purpose. Experimental results are presented and they are very promising.","PeriodicalId":129665,"journal":{"name":"2017 6th International Conference on Information and Communication Technology and Accessibility (ICTA)","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127712580","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper reports the findings of a study that sought to examine the specific challenges teachers in Oman face with creating accessible and usable learning environment for visually impaired students taking English language courses at tertiary education level. Data was collected during a one semester period at the Centre for Preparatory Studies at Sultan Qaboos University using face-to-face interviews with language teachers. The researchers looked into the teachers' views on challenging aspects related to technological and pedagogical support given to visually impaired students for them to meet learning outcomes and standards of competency in English, and successfully integrate into the mainstream English language programs. The study revealed that in-service targeted professional development aimed at teacher training in using assistive technologies and developing accessible teaching materials and curricula can have a significant positive impact on constructing effective language learning environment specific for visually impaired students and beneficial for facilitating their learning experience.","PeriodicalId":129665,"journal":{"name":"2017 6th International Conference on Information and Communication Technology and Accessibility (ICTA)","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126292103","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
