| Summary: | Ability to read is a unanimous privilege we have as human. Therefore, research and
development on Learning Object (LO) specially built for learning disabilities children is
crucial. The issues for this project are the problem encounter by dyslexic students in
output generation and information processes; and the factors that affect the effectiveness
of mobile learning specially built for dyslexic. The focuses of this project are to propose
guidelines and to facilitate student with visual dyslexia, or/and auditory dyslexia or/and
dysgraphia; specifically in learning basic Malay language letters with interactive
teaching method. Research has been made to identify the focused type of dyslexia,
determine the needs of dyslexic; and the effect of graphic and animation on the
efficiency of teaching technique. New multimedia-based learning object is being
proposed to attract interest of dyslexic children to learn letters in fun approach and
improve their recalling skills in recognizing name, shape and sound of letters. The main
elements of the proposed learning object are animation, oral narration and digital gamebased.
The theoretical framework proposed in this study is based on Principles of
Teaching Program for Dyslexics, Stansfield Instructional Strategies, and Game-based
Learning Object Framework. This project is carried out using ADDIE Instructional
Design Model using Adobe Flash Professional cs5.5. A user experience testing is
conducted with the dyslexic children. The result of the user experience testing showed
more than half of the students would like to use the LO repeatedly. In addition, teachers
agreed that DOLL act as a good new teaching tool in facilitating teaching process for
dyslexic students. |
