ideas for goals and tasks
- no long waiting (loading) times
- instant rewards
- personal feedback (like a voice praising the work with mentioning the person's name or some certificate to print out and take home to show parents)
- easy handling/usability
- not too much multitouch or complex gestures
- settings/profiles for different skill levels
- measuring of progress (over the different apps)
- always the option of returning one step back
- help options
- visual instructions/explanations/tutorials (not just written word)
- a workflow with different tasks - daily routine
- good separation of different content (e.g. when to read/listen to instruction and when to actually start on the task)
- integration of sounds/music
- automatic breaks (maybe stopping all performance on the tablet for a short time and playing an instructional video for a physical exercise instead) to enhance concentration
- small rewards in form of personal preference (games, youtube videos, particular songs, sport videos etc.)
- integration of learning life skills, daily tasks, appropriate behaviour through playing
- real life reward (McDonald's-, ice cream voucher?)
- the need to finish one tasks, before doing the next one or something different on the tablet
- dashboard not too cluttered, not too many options to choose from
- repetition of important learning steps
- finding a balance between learning tasks and entertainment. people can still watch their youtube and play their favourite games, but also put more focus on their learning goals.
- rating/category system for apps, so already tested apps with one person, which did/didn't work out, might be more suitable to the abilities and needs of another person.
