Development of web resources to promote the use of mobile technologies in vocational training for adolescents with learning disabilities: Ontario team

For several years, research projects on the use of digital technologies to support the integration of students with learning disabilities into the labour market were conducted by the CRWDP Ontario team. Included in this work is an action research project with students and teachers who supervise work placements in the Work-Oriented Training Path (Parcours de formation axée sur l’emploi, PFAE), in collaboration with the Pointe-de-l'Île school board (la commission scolaire de la Pointe-de-l’Île, CSPI). The PFAE is a work-study program offered in schools in all Quebec regions to students aged 15 and over who are experiencing difficulties at school. The objective of this action-research project was to propose an approach for using mobile technologies to support the skills development and professional integration of students during traineeships, taking into account the specific context of learning in a real work environment. This repot shares details of the project.
