The courseware will help slow learner children using an approach and a suitable technique/method with appropriate teaching materials essential for the learning process.

The "MyLINUS" primarily consists of 2 sections for the modules and exercises. The modules consist of 3 sub-modules. Each module is designed to teach in certain domain starting from Module 1 till Module 3. Module 1 teaches the users on how to recognize and pronounce a letter. Module 2 teaches users on how to combine letters to form a word. Module 3 guides users on how to combine words and syllable to form complete sentences. A user acceptance test was conducted in two primary schools in Perak. The results help to support suitability and acceptability and the effectiveness of the courseware for further improvement.
