Selection and Peer-review under Responsibility of the Scientific Programme Committee of the 5th International Conference on Software Development and Technologies for Enhancing Accessibility and Fighting Info-exclusion (dsai 2013). 5th International Conference on Software Development and Technologies

This paper focuses on designing accessible mobile learning interactions involving disabled people using a newly developed Technology Enhanced Interaction Framework. The framework was developed to help design technological support for communication and interactions between people, technology, and objects particularly when disabled people are involved. A review of existing interaction frameworks showed that none of them help technology designers to consider all of the possible interactions that occur at the same time and in the same place (i.e. face to face situations). The components of the framework are described and explained, and examples of interactions are provided. A method has been developed and validated using technology designer and accessibility experts to help designers apply the framework and work is now in progress to evaluate the method with technology designers.
