Abstract

In this paper, we built a Web 2.0 based testbed for establishing employment web services for individuals with mental impairments. Nonprofit organizations (NPOs) have long experienced deficiency of IT resources and relied mainly on paperwork. Budgets are one of the reasons but the lack of user friendly interfaces and maintenance capabilities hinders NPO personnel from using advanced IT efficiency tools. By provisioning of hosted, fee-free web services, Web 2.0 removes maintenance and financial burdens from NPOs. Advanced and easy-to-use GUIs also empower NPOs to exploit the latest web intelligence collaborative computing, and social media. The prototype was tested by job coaches from five Taipei-based rehabilitational hospitals.
