Résumé

Le but était d’explorer les caractéristiques et les fonctions des assistants virtuels basés sur l’IA et des applications des téléphones intelligents qui peuvent aider les étudiants de niveau postsecondaire en situation de handicap à réussir leurs travaux scolaires. Pour atteindre cet objectif, nous avons effectué une vaste recherche documentaire et rassemblerons des intervenants de divers secteurs en créant un conseil consultatif de 15 membres. Sur la base de ces informations, nous avons créé un questionnaire accessible sur l’utilisation d’assistants virtuels basés sur l’IA et sur les applications des téléphones intelligents, afin d’obtenir le point de vue inestimable des étudiants.
