- Resumen
During the past years, the adoption of Learning Management System (LMS) to support an e-learning process has been continuously growing. Hence, a potential need and meaningful factor to provide a personalized support, within the context of these systems, has been the identification of particular characteristics of students to provide adaptations of the system’s elements to the individual traits. One particular characteristic that has been little studied in a personalized e-learning process are the learning disabilities (LD) of students. Dyslexia is a common LD in Spanish-speaking university students, which is specifically referred to the manifestation of different difficulties in reading. Dyslexia requires special attention by higher educational institutions to detect, assess, and assist affected students during their learning process. Thereby, an open challenge has been identified from this implication: How to include Spanish-speaking university students with dyslexia and/or reading difficulties in an e-learning process?
