Developing an M-Learning Pilot for Qur'an and Its Sciences

Abstract

In this project we use the technologies of virtual reality, conversional interfaces, animated touch screens, metrostyle navigation to allow users to immerse inside Qur'an and some of its related sciences. The goal is to build a small scale implementation of only Part 30 "Ϣϋ ˯ΰΟ" of a Conversional, Animated Qur'an Memorizer application. The implementation is ported on major smart phones and here w describe the system model and design decisions. Major features of the application are demonstrated and explained. The animated conversional interface is described with its options to change view and customize its drop down menus locations and contents. The flexible indexing of both Qur'an, its narrators, types of recitation, links to Tafseers and glossaries along with the metro-style touch screen navigation and bookmarking are demonstrated. The search capability of both text and audio has been demonstrated.Tracking of what one has memorized from each Surah so far with ability to change text display through the Qur'an viewer (e.g. display movement characters (ϞϴϜθΘϟ)) are demonstrated. The bi-lingual display of Qur'an Tafseers and glossaries are also demonstrated. Changing setting and getting help are also demonstrated. Audi recording is implemented but audio voice recognition, correction and teach exams have not been implemented completely yet in the current small scale implementation. In fact the usability of the conversional, animated, immersive interface screens allows easy interaction with the application. Also on-line help is extensive and allow easy navigation among various interface screens.
