Abstract

Educational Software is widely used in the field of special pedagogic to promote the development of people with special needs. In this connection you have to think about the evaluation of educational software for this target group. “Step by Step 3” (working title, now “Mr.Step”, a software developed by ARC Seibersdorf research GmbH, aims to be especially suited for the area of cognitive development of children with special needs and for physically handicapped children. Based on theoretical findings and results of our analysis we develop common criteria for the evaluation of educational software from a pedagogical point of view.
