A tangible user interface design guideline to support learning for children with Dyslexia

Tangible Interaction (TI) is gaining popularity as a means of supporting learning using physical tangible objects with the interaction of digital space. This approach provides a multisensory experience to children with dyslexia, making the learning session more meaningful. Therefore, TI has the pote...

Thus, this study proposes effective TUI design guidelines for children with dyslexia to support learning to read.

Seven experts verified the TUIs framework and its design guideline. This study contributed to improving the present design guideline of TUIs. The positive feedback and improvement in learning outcomes from the children with dyslexia validated the effectiveness of the TUIs design guideline. The findings of this study contribute theoretically and practically to the field of TUIs and HCI.

The system developers would be able to understand the needs of children with dyslexia with a clear design guideline for better learning outcomes and improved educational experiences. 2023 Thesis https://etd.uum.edu.my/10899/ https://etd.uum.edu.my/10899/1/permission%20to%20deposit-grant%20the%20permission-s904137.pdf text eng staffonly https://etd.uum.edu.my/10899/2/s904137_01.pdf text eng public other doctoral Universiti Utara Malaysia
