Building the design ICT inventory (DICTI): A Delphi study

The use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) for people with Neurodevelopmental Disorders (NDD) is increasing; however, it is currently hard to assess its quality as there are issues regarding the lack of consensus on how to design these technologies.

description The use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) for people with Neurodevelopmental Disorders (NDD) is increasing; however, it is currently hard to assess its quality as there are issues regarding the lack of consensus on how to design these technologies. Here, using a Delphi method, we built a trans-ICTs inventory named the Design ICT Inventory (DICTI) to guide and gauge design in the 4 main ICTs dedicated to people with NDD (serious game/App, robotics, video modeling, augmentative and alternative communication). After two rounds with feedback from 12 experts, we obtained consensus and agreement for each of the 13 items of the inventory: customization; feedback; rewards; contextualized learning; enhance motivation; manage difficulty; increasing accessibility; clarity of instruction and content; attention capacity; clear goals; minimalistic graphics and audio; human interaction; and trustworthy. The DICTI provides an easy tool to use in order to assess the design of ICTs. Future research is needed to ensure the inter-reliability of the inventory and its relevance in assessing ICT.
