DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This project will develop a new software program that will improve the management of digital information from a variety of sources for individuals with learning disabilities (LD) and/or attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in a postsecondary academic settings. The software to be developed in this project is designed to assist individuals in locating, understanding, and assimilating information by fully exploiting its availability in a digital medium. The software user will trade in his highlighters, sticky notes, and index cards for an intuitive software information management tool that will support optimum learning for students challenged by LD or ADHD deficits. During Phase I of the project four prototype software modules will be developed, and two types of product evaluation will be conducted. First, postsecondary students with diagnosed LD and/or ADHD will be recruited to interact with the prototype modules to assess the usability of the software. During initial usability studies these students will identify adaptations that need to be made to create a product that will be usable and intuitive for students in the target population. Second, the software's utility will be evaluated as another group of students work with the prototype model, providing data that will help determine the software's effectiveness in supporting identified information processing deficits encountered in the following critical academic tasks: 1. Reading for Understanding 2. Writing Academic Papers 3. Studying for Examinations 4. Developing Classroom Presentations

描述（由申请人提供）：该项目将开发一个新的软件程序，该程序将改善高等教育机构中患有学习障碍（LD）和/或注意力缺陷多动障碍（ADHD）的个人对各种来源的数字信息的管理设置。该项目要开发的软件旨在通过充分利用数字媒体中的可用性来帮助个人定位、理解和同化信息。软件用户将用荧光笔、便利贴和索引卡换取直观的软件信息管理工具，该工具将为患有 LD 或 ADHD 缺陷的学生提供最佳的学习支持。 在项目第一阶段，将开发四个原型软件模块，并进行两种类型的产品评估。首先，将招募患有 LD 和/或多动症的专上学生与原型模块进行交互，以评估软件的可用性。在最初的可用性研究中，这些学生将确定需要进行的调整，以创建对目标人群中的学生可用且直观的产品。其次，当另一组学生使用原型模型时，将评估该软件的实用性，提供的数据将有助于确定该软件在支持以下关键学术任务中遇到的已识别信息处理缺陷的有效性： 1. 阅读理解 2. 撰写学术论文 3. 备考学习 4. 制定课堂演示
