“…They found that these studies primarily considered mobile learning service accessibility, and argued that "a wider view about the influence of engaging students in mobile learning activities on their learning performance is needed" (Alsswey et al, 2020).

Considerable advances in the capabilities of modern mobile devices have enabled their use as powerful educational tools. Today, mobile learning games are widely used as creative platforms for teaching and learning, offering enjoyable and ubiquitous educational content. This study describes the design and evaluation of a mobile Arabic orthography game aimed at improving Arabic orthographical skills among young learners. In particular, 52 female fourth-grade students participated in this study to answer the following research questions: what impact does the use of mobile Arabic orthography games have on students’ performance, and how do students perceive this learning approach? A mixed-method research design was adopted to answer these research questions, including pre-and post-tests, interviews, and classroom observations. Analysis of the data revealed that, although there were a few challenges involved in using mobile games as a learning tool, significant improvements were found in students’ performance and engagement, and positive attitudes were developed towards using the mobile game. In addition, there was an overall increase in students’ motivation and interaction. The pedagogical implications of these findings can be linked to the gamification of the teaching and learning environments. Teachers are encouraged to consider integrating mobile educational games into their instructional approaches, as they can serve as great incentives to learning (especially for young students).

Game based learning is becoming a widespread technique used to enhance motivation, involvement and educational experience of learners. Games have the potential to support educational curricula when designed effectively. In this work, an educational game to teach Arabic spelling to children is proposed. The game consists of two main parts; a robot and a desktop application. The robot is connected to the desktop application to form the complete game. Our mere focus is to develop an interactive, adaptive game to motivate students and let them interact joyfully in their environment while learning simple Arabic spelling rules. The interaction was implemented through designing an interaction model between the user and the robot, where the robot responds to user input with appropriate facial expressions and vocal statements. On the other hand, adaption and intelligence of the game is done through utilizing the nutshell of expert systems' framework with some alterations. Our proposed game is based on the curriculum of Saudi Arabia in elementary schools. It is anticipated that the deployment of robot-based games in the classroom will advance students' engagement and enthusiasm about learning Arabic spelling.

Smart devices applications can assist young children in improving their learning capabilities and comprehension skills. However most of learning applications are built without taking into consideration the effective needs and background of Arab users. They are somehow incompatible with their local environment and culture. We propose in this paper a mobile-based educational system that displays illustrations automatically to characterize the content of children’ stories on animal domain, and we use some intelligent technique to answer users’ questions using an educational ontology. The generation of illustrations passes through different phases which include text processing, extraction of word-to-word relationships, building and accessing an ontology, and using Internet search engines for retrieval of complimentary information. The system can be used also by instructors to teach the children in a non-conventional manner. They can customize semantically the structure of the questions and determine how the answers will be displayed. In order to customize questions and answers, we have defined a semantic infrastructure to define the logic of terms, and the workflow of answers. The aim of our system is to improve the children educational skills to grasp vocabulary and grammar using multimedia with a portable smart device which includes observation, comprehension, realization, and deduction. Children will then be able to continue learning outside the limited time of their schools and from any location.
