Abstract
The development of Intelligent Tutoring Systems (ITS) based on mobile platforms offers new perspectives for a better integration of people with intellectual disabilities. The LAGUNTXO System aims to achieve the performance of human tutors. Due to the wide diversity related to a person with disabilities, an intelligent structure that may achieve a convenient tutoring system configuration for each case has been incorporated. With an appropriate design of the structure and architecture of this task handler, it is very easy to operate by stakeholders. An automaton-based mechanism has been performed to technologically adapt the large amount of possibilities related to the interaction between people with disabilities, the task that is going to be made autonomously by users, and the mobile system elements. In this paper, LAGUNTXO architecture, operational ways, heuristic evaluation and a pilot study with final users are presented.
