“…A different approach was employed by Zainuddin et al in [29] where they carried out a heuristic evaluation on a courseware for the deaf, which means that end-users were not part of the evaluation process, instead, several experts from different fields were involved in it. The reason given by the authors of the study to use this kind of evaluation was that it can help identify more problems than evaluating just with users.…”

The evaluation of a system is part of the development process that must be done preferably with potential users, since they can give new ideas and relevant feedback about the user experience of it, so a User-Centered Design approach could give better results to the final product. But involving users with special needs like those in condition of disability is not an easy task for researchers, since there are variables that must be carefully taken into account in order to successfully extract information from these special users. In this study, we applied different evaluation methods in the design of an Interactive System where Deaf and Hard of Hearing children were part of it. Some of the methods used were modified to satisfy the needs of the children as well as their skills. * CCS Concepts • Human-centered computing → Accessibility design and evaluation methods • Software and its engineering → Interactive games.

“…Interviews with education officers helped to further investigate the difficulties facing the hearing-impaired science learners. These explorations were used to guide the development of PekAr-Mikroogranisma, a science courseware package that utilises a web-based AR application (Zainuddin, Zaman, & Ahmad, 2011). The courseware augmented with three-dimensional (3D) models of organisms via AR, supports visual descriptions expressed in Malaysian SL (MySL).…”

Literacy is fundamental for children’s growth and development, as it impacts their educational, societal, and vocational progress. However, the mapping of language to printed text is different for children with hearing impairments. When reading, a hearing-impaired child maps text to sign language (SL) which is a visual language that can benefit from technological advancements, such as augmented reality (AR). There exist several efforts that utilise AR for the purpose of advancing the educational needs of people who are hearing impaired for different SLs. Nevertheless, only a few directly elicit the visual needs of children who are hearing impaired. This study aims to address this gap in the literature with a series of user studies to elicit user requirements for the development of an AR application that supports the literacy development of Arab children who are hearing impaired. Three instruments were utilised in these user studies, each targeting a different group of literacy influencers: questionnaires issued to parents of children with hearing impairments, interviews with teachers, and observations of children who were deaf or hard of hearing. The findings indicated that the parents and teachers preferred Arabic SL (ArSL), pictures, and videos, whereas the children struggled with ArSL and preferred finger-spelling. These preferences highlighted the importance of integrating various resources to strengthen the written Arabic and ArSL literacy of Arab children. The findings have contributed to the literature on the preferences of Arab children who are hearing impaired, their educators, and parents. They also showed the importance of establishing requirements elicited directly from intended users who are disabled to proactively support their learning process. The results of the study were used in the preliminary development of Word & Sign, an AR mobile application intended to aid Arab children who are hearing impaired in their linguistic development.
