Measuring Usability of Phonic Mobile Applications based on User Success Rate for Pre-School Children

Recent studies showed that mobile devices have the potential to support children's learning and have increased the interest of parents and educators. However, it is important that mobile applications for children are well-designed and usable to ensure the applications are effective for childr...
