“…A study by Tzanakaki et al [ 70 ] reported that succeeding in teaching numeracy to children with ASD requires the use of various models that help students to stay focused. Moreover, children with ASD learn more easily from visual cues and videos promoted to enhance teaching and learning in an inclusive classroom [ 71 , 72 ]. Conoyer et al [ 73 ] evaluated different numeracy domains in the early grades such as oral counting, number recognition, touch count, missing number, and number relations.…”

Background The use of information and communication technologies is transforming the lives of millions of people including children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). However, the process of developing a user-friendly and effective mobile app needs to follow a complex standard protocol and culture-sensitive customization, and involves multiple sectors. This complex work becomes even more challenging when considering children with ASD in low- and middle-income countries as the users. Objective This study aimed to design and develop a more intuitive mobile app to improve numeracy skills of children with ASD in Rwanda and evaluate the usability of the app. Methods A participatory design approach was utilized in this study in which 40 children with ASD, 5 teachers, and 10 parents of children with ASD participated in focus group discussions (FGDs) and usability testing. A narrative literature review was performed to explore existing mobile apps and compare previous studies to design the questions for FGD and facilitate a framework for designing the app. The agile methodology was used to develop the mobile app, and the heuristics evaluation method was used to test and evaluate the usability of the initial version of the app to improve its functionalities. The interviews were recorded, transcribed, and analyzed following the guidelines of the qualitative narrative analysis (QNA) method. Results During the FGDs the respondents shared their need for a mobile app in teaching and learning numeracy for children with ASD and pointed to possibilities of integrating the mobile app into existing curriculum. Ten themes emerged from the FGDs and exercise of developing the mobile app. The themes were related to (1) teaching and learning numeracy for children with ASD, (2) planning and development of a mobile app for a person with ASD, (3) testing a mobile app, (4) strength of the developed app against the existing ones, (5) behavioral maintenance and relapse prevention, (6) possibilities to integrate the mobile app into the existing curriculum, (7) data protection for users, (8) social implications, (9) challenges in Rwanda, and (10) focus on future. Conclusions The community plays an important role in the planning, development, and evaluation of a mobile app for children with ASD. In this study, inputs from teachers and parents resulted in an optimally designed mobile app that can improve numeracy skills in children diagnosed with ASD to support the implementation of competency-based curriculum in Rwanda.

“…This research used the ADDIE Instructional Design (ID) model consists of five (5) phases which are analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation. Since the ADDIE model is known as a generic and traditional process that has historically been used by instructional designers and training developers, especially because of its dynamic and flexible guidelines to build efficient training and performance support tools, it has been determined to be the best option [27][28][29][30]. Besides, the ADDIE ID model was chosen in this research because many researchers used ADDIE in developing educational projects and research [21,27].…”

English is an important subject for scoring in primary and secondary school exams in Malaysia. However, students are exposed to countless grammatical errors and are affected by the dialect they use in daily communication, especially for students who live in Kelantan. They are used to the use of dialect words in daily conversation. Therefore, they faced difficulties in understanding and translating the words from Bahasa Melayu to English. Furthermore, there is a lack of mobile application dictionaries to help primary school students to translate Kelantan’s dialect into English. The objectives of this research are (i) to analyse the needs and requirements to develop an AR mobile application to translate Kelantan’s dialect into English, (ii) to develop an AR mobile application that can look up the meaning of Kelantan’s dialect in English accurately, (iii) to evaluate the usability of the mobile application in terms of compatibility, consistency, flexibility, and learnability, and (iv) to evaluate the effectiveness of the mobile application to improve the vocabulary of the users. ADDIE model has been chosen in this research which consists of five phases involved in completing this research which is: (i) analysis phase, (ii) design phase, (iii) development phase, (iv) implementation phase, and (v) evaluation phase. The main contribution of this research is an AR mobile application Kelantan Dictionary called MyBrainy Kelate for primary school to improve English vocabulary. MyBrainy Kelate will help primary school students who have difficulties translating Kelantan’s dialect words into English words. The usability testing proved that MyBrainy Kelate has met the requirements of usability elements. Meanwhile, the effectiveness testing proves that the application is an effective tool for the user to improve their knowledge of English vocabulary. For future works, the research can be improvised by taking into consideration the game-based learning in the mobile application. The playability test can be conducted to test the playability of the game.

“…Implementasi AR telah banyak dikembangkan untuk pendidikan seperti untuk mempresentasikan kaligrafi secara interaktif [12], untuk pembelajaran kimia obat [13], dan pemodelan visual-haptic untuk sistem pelatihan operasi thoracoscopic [14]. Pada kenyataanya, banyak aplikasi dengan berbagai jenis animasi ini tidak semua cocok untuk pendidikan anak-anak [15]. Pengembangan applikasi yang cocok untuk anak-anak harus memperhatikan karakteristik anak-anak sebagai pengguna [16].…”

Purpose: Produce Augmented Reality applications as a medium for introducing Indonesian animals to foster the nation's love for children.Design/methodology/approach: AR applications are built using markers. AR application development uses the MDLC method, which consists of six stages, namely concept, design, material collection, manufacture, testing, and distribution.Findings/result: This research resulted in the application of Augmented Reality Animal Recognition. The results of the tests that have been carried out using the similarity test of 92% for testing the similarity of 3D objects on animals. SEQ testing with an average result of 91.18 on a scale of 10, so it can be concluded that the application has met the needs of users.Originality/value/state of the art: The development of this application focuses on AR applications with models of Indonesian animals and explanations of the characteristics of these animals.
