  • Abstract
    We aim to deploy and validate a novel approach for mainstreaming inclusiveness and accessibility related solutions which can be programmed, distributed and executed in the form of Applications, thus capitalizing on the Application effect and the Applications market economies. This will help the wide scale adoption of innovative services for facilitation of social interactions of any type of intellectually, physically or technologically challenged person and the elderly, including workplace adaptation and assistance in the use of sophisticated access-to-service environments. The Learning Assets Innovation concept enables the interface to be personalized based on the user´s needs and preferences which can then be configured into a personalized profile. This profile will underpin and inform all engagements between the user and selected existing technologies so as to impact positively on the effectiveness of the user in the context of learning, employability, and social interactions.
