This paper describes about an initiative in determining requirements for learning objects for the hearing-impaired students.Interviews with the hearing-impaired students were carried out in gathering the requirements. Then, a prototype of a learning object was developed, which is called Koswer Pendidikan Islam Tunakerna (KOSPIT), in which the contents were referred to the syllabus.An initial user testing has been carried out involving the real users, which reveals that the KOSPIT, that incorporates special features for the hearing-impaired helps them in their learning activities.
