Abstract

This work discusses the potential that the Virtual Learning Environments can to bring for people with Dyspraxia using gestural interfaces that are more intuitive and natural. The touchless technologies can reduce the difficulties of learning, literacy, the digital, educational and social inclusion of these users. We recommend the Moodle's adaptation for to be used with the Leapmotion by dyspraxics, involving preliminary studies and the participation of the professionals and final users. As a result of this project, we hope to create guidelines about how to do the adaptations in the Moodle's architectures and to change the interface module. And the other phase, we will test the changes in more people with TDC for behavior analysis during the interaction and improving these guidelines.
