Abstract
Conference Title: 2014 International Conference on Web & Open Access to Learning (ICWOAL) Conference Start Date: 2014, Nov. 25 Conference End Date: 2014, Nov. 27 Conference Location: Dubai, United Arab Emirates Adaptive open learning technology provides adaptive methods of interacting with the technology used in open learning. Since most of online learning systems are computer-based, adapting the keyboard for people with special needs will be of great effectiveness. This article presents an adaptive keyboard technology based on Morse code that will enable users with physical disability or functional limitations to access the proposed interface and interact fully with the given system with minimal input keys. This interface is enhanced with all the required functionalities that could be used in a common learning environment by the end user. The current computer keyboard will be reduced to five keystrokes only. The proposed adaptive Word processor allows preparing text documents such as letters, memos, research paper, homework and other correspondence for people with limited functionality by facilitating the interaction between the person with muscle weaknesses and the computer providing the learning interface.
