RECALL will offer new opportunities to learners with a range of disabilities (learning, sensory and physical), and to their teachers/trainers and parents/caregivers. It will help them to (re) connect with learning and employment opportunities, and to access public services whilst developing skills that are critical to their safety in doing so by combing location based services (LBS) with games based learning (GBL).
RECALL is based on a prototype location based system in development in the GOAL project (Leonardo TOI UK/07/LLP-LdV/TOI-009, led by NTU) developed to help people with learning disabilities to access employment opportunities by planning and then carrying out their routes to work. RECALL significantly extends this approach by firstly widening the target audience to people with a range of learning, physical and sensory impairments using key accessibility developments on the Android Operating System (such as Eyes Free and new text to speech libraries) and secondly adding a GBL (Challenge) mode to the system so that users can practice and reinforce the new routes they themselves have created content for in the Plan Mode, thereby offering significant and new learning opportunities.
