Abstract

This papers presents Edushare, a web-based learning environment which has been designed for cognitive remediation applied to autistic children. While existing learning platforms integrate various services in a web-based environment, they meet limitation when specific software must been integrated. Their role is then mostly confined to hosting the external software, without deep integration. Therefore, Edushare was created, a service-rich integration platform. It consists in centralizing within the platform a series of services which are shared by many educational software. These services include data logging, logs visualization, media management or parametrization. As a result, software development benefit from these services and are focused on their core goal, learning activities. This approach is described with a case study, concerning facial emotion recognition in autistic children.
