LODE is a logic-based web tool for Italian deaf children who have problems in the comprehension of narratives in a verbal language; namely, it aims at stimulating global reasoning on written e-stories. Presently, LODE deals with global temporal reasoning; temporal reasoning problems are encoded as constraint satisfaction problems that can be solved by a constraint reasoner. The focus of this paper is the intelligent user interface of LODE; after characterizing the intended end users of LODE, this paper focuses on critical issues faced in the design and assessment of the interface of our e-tool.

Abstract
LODE is a logic-based web tool for Italian deaf children who have problems in the comprehension of narratives in a verbal language; namely, it aims at stimulating global reasoning on written e-stories. Presently, LODE deals with global temporal reasoning; temporal reasoning problems are encoded as constraint satisfaction problems that can be solved by a constraint reasoner. The focus of this paper is the intelligent user interface of LODE; after characterizing the intended end users of LODE, this paper focuses on critical issues faced in the design and assessment of the interface of our e-tool. A preliminary assessment and an evaluation plan of LODE conclude our paper.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
