Developing A Modular Web based System for Special Education: Advantages and Challenges

AbstractThe increasing complexity of regulations governing and tracking the special education process made it ever more difficult for all parties which may be special education centers (SECs), individuals, educators, parents, government and healthcare centers. Since there are many difficulties in the management of special education, SECs cannot easily process their essence aim. In this manner, information technologies help these parties to participate equally for managing special education. Modular web based systems are one of the information technology solutions to overcome these problems. In this paper, the goal is to show the fundamental advantages and also discuss the challenges in developing such a modular web based system for special education. If the advantages of the system can be understood and the challenges of the system can be properly addressed, the development of a modular web based system for special education, in our opinion, can be promoted significantly.Selection and peer review under responsibility of Prof. Dr. Hafize Keser
