ABSTRACT
Assistive Technology (AT) refers to products, resources or services that enable people with disabilities to expand their functional abilities and to promot an independent social life. Concerning about the prospects that TA can bring to educational environments, this paper proposes a web application called Wikitas. The application purpose is to share information about TA for people who are deaf, been useful for teachers and sign language interpreters (potential users) who work in primary education. In addition, Wikitas aims to encourage potential users to make contributions with respect to content, encouraging information sharing and collaboration among users. To guide the activities related to the development of Wikitas, Human-Computer Interaction cycle (IHC) is been used, starting by literature systematic review and contextual analysis conduction.
