Abstract

The study focuses on the user-centered development and experience evaluation of a computer-assisted system designed for ICT content creation in special needs education at Santa Cruz Integrated National High School. The primary objective is to enhance educational equity and inclusion by providing customized, engaging, and accessible educational content tailored to SNED (Special Needs Education) learners' unique needs. The research involves developing the tool, designing user-friendly instructional materials, assessing the tool’s effectiveness, and gathering data to improve teacher-student relationships. The study highlights the importance of investing in technology-driven solutions for learners with special needs to promote educational equity and inclusion. The tool's features, such as adaptive learning algorithms, customizable materials, sign language functionality, and augmented reality, ensure that it caters to the diverse needs of SNED learners. Feedback from teachers and students indicates that the tool is user-friendly and effective in improving the learning experience. The iterative development process, which involved multiple stages of prototyping, testing, and refinement, ensured that the tool met the specific needs of its users. The study concludes that the developed computer-assisted technology tool effectively enhances the learning process for SNED learners and recommends further research, continuous professional development for teachers, regular updates to the tool, and collaboration among stakeholders for successful implementation


and adoption.
