Abstract

Research has shown technology fosters learning environments that stimulate improved academic performance, learners' satisfaction and completion rates. For this reason, an increasing number of researchers focus on the development of tools and applications that support the learning process of children. The tool presented here is a web application for educators, therapists, parents, and children with and without disabilities. The core concept of this tool is aiding professionals in creating relevant educational content and motivating children by presenting learning materials and tasks in a modern, relevant and motivating way. A pilot study was performed with five professionals, daily delivering instruction to children, mostly diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder, at an NGO in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The study findings show a general positive attitude towards the use of the web tool in the classroom and its functionalities for creating teaching material.
