User Experience Model in The Interaction Between Children with Special Educational Needs and Learning Media

The utilization of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) is not an unfamiliar thing and has reached almost every aspect of human life, including aspects of education and learning. The use of ICT has become a fundamental requirement in supporting the effectiveness and quality of the educational process, especially in supporting creativity and accuracy in the development and utilization of learning media. The need to develop learning media is necessary for special educational needs (SEN), which is to educate and prepare children with SEN to be able to live independently in the society. The development of learning media for children with SEN should be arranged with a clear study on the user experience (UX) model development framework. The existing challenge is how learning media could be developed with the focus on UX aspect and the ability/ limitations of children with SEN, with the hope that the prepared learning media can be used to help these difficulties and limitations in SEN, which in turn motivate children with SEN to learn. UX modeling aims to optimize the development of learning media that is appropriate for SEN, thus is expected to enhance the children with SEN experience in the process of knowledge acquisition and absorption as an independent life provision.
