학생들의 기초 기본학습 능력의 신장이 강조되고 있는 교육상황에 비추어 볼 때 지금까지 간과되어 왔던 학습장애에 대한 재인식과 학습장애아들을 위한 대책이 필요하다. 그 대책으로 최근 특수교육분야에서 기존의 지능-불일치 교육이론에 대한 대안으로 제시되고 있는 중재-반응 (Responsiveness to Intervention : RTI) 이론을 기반으로 학습장애아들에 대한 교육이 보다 효율적으로 적용될 수 있다. 하지만 실제 우리의 교육에 적용을 위해서는 많은 걸림돌들이 존재하고 있다. 실제 교육 현장의 교사들이 RTI 이론 적용의 걸림돌로 제기하는 점들을 해결하기 위한 대안으로 모바일 시스템설계를 통해 실제 현장에서의 RTI 이론 적용 및 실행 가능성을 높이고자 한다. 본 시스템의 특징은 첫째, 실제 국내의 교육현장에서 기존 교사들이 제시한 RTI 이론 적용가능성이 낮은 항목들을 중점으로, 이론 적용의 문제점을 해결하기 위한 설계에 중점을 두고 있다. 둘째, 시스템의 구성을 기존의 행정중심이 아닌 실제 수행자 중심 설계를 위하여 기존의 학교행정가를 제외한 일반교사, 특수교사, 학부모, 학습장애 학생으로 설계하였다. 셋째, 일반교사, 특수교사, 학부모, 학습장애 학생의 의사소통 및 진전도 체크 등을 모바일 기기의 편이성과 결합하여 학습장애아의 학습능력을 향상시키고자 한다.
