Abstract

As part of the FIRB WISE project, the research unit from the University of Florence designed and developed the e-PeiWISE system, a network environment for sharing expertise and supporting the design of instructional interventions aimed at people with special needs, particularly the homebound. The theoretical basis of this work is grounded on reference knowledge in the development of inclusive instructional paths, as well as the externalization and transfer of achieved and enacted competences. The platform stimulates the sharing of results from evidence-based research, instructional design models, advice and experience accounts. Furthermore, it offers scaffolding for the reorganization of competences towards solution of specific cases.
