“…The detailed results for each AT are in the Appendix which consists of 10 variables with student perception ranging from "Strongly Disagree 1", "Disagree 2", "Neutral 3", "Agree 4", to "Strongly Agree 5". Student perception plays a vital role in the continuous use of technology for learning [10,16,17,21,58]. Since the use of ATs has proven to be effective for learning mathematics [51], this study evaluated the students' perspective on the commonly used ATs in the mathematics courses at USP.…”

The pervasion and inclusion of new technologies into teaching and learning processes are continuously changing the higher education landscape. Selected and specific technologies termed as “assistive technologies” are being used as key tools for enabling students to access education and actively and independently participate in the education process, improving learning and supporting inclusive education. This paper presents students’ perception of the use of various assistive technologies such as mobile learning, tablet learning, lecture capture, gamification, and online intelligent systems that have been developed for learning and student support at a higher education institute. There is also a broad discussion on how these can be adopted and adapted in mathematics learning in higher education. It is well documented that students have low-esteem toward or while doing the subject and have math phobia, particularly in higher education. An online questionnaire on the students’ perception of using assistive technologies was deployed to the mathematics students. The results show that assistive technologies are indeed a saviour of mathematics with a significantly positive attitude garnered toward using them for learning mathematics.

Mobile Applications Development has been the trend for the previous year to revolutionize the teaching and learning process. These technologies were designed to improve the quality of education for all types of learners, more specifically for learners who have learning difficulties like dyslexia. Learners having this learning disorder oftentimes have difficulty in reading and writing. The use of conventional instruction is challenged for this learner. With the advent of technology, specifically mobile assistive application development helps implement more dynamic, effective and efficient teaching strategies, thus provides an opportunity to improve the learning of the students. This study aimed to develop a mobile assistive application name Individualized Reading Enhancing Application for Dyslexia (IREAD) which primarily implements text-to-speech technology to enhance the reading capability of learners with dyslexia. Unity 3D is utilized in the development of the application and web support is present to manage learning resources of the application. Moreover, usability evaluation is performed to determine the overall usability of the application, with the following dimensions effectiveness, efficiency, and quality of support, ease of learning and satisfaction. The 10 participants who were teachers teaching in specialized education answered the usability questionnaire. Results show that the overall usability of the IREAD application is immensely positive.
