BackgroundDeaf or hard-of-hearing children experience difficulties in learning health principles. But technology has significantly improved their ability to learn. The challenge in e-learning is to design attractive applications while having an educational aspect.ObjectiveThe aims of this study were to determine the pedagogical effectiveness of a health education application for deaf and hard of hearing students in elementary schools, and to investigate the student’s perceptions in different educational grades about the educational effectiveness of the text, graphics, video clips, and animation in the application.MethodsThe study design was quasi experimental and was conducted in Mashhad in 2016. Study population were deaf or hard-of-hearing students in elementary schools. The intervention included health application training to deaf and hard-of-hearing students in Mashhad. A questionnaire was used for data gathering. The pedagogical effectiveness was determined by measuring the modified Adapted Pedagogical Index. This index was created based on the characteristics of the application and study population. Statistical analysis was performed using the Kruskal-Wallis and Mann–Whitney tests with Bonferroni adjustment by SPSS 22.ResultsEighty-two students participated in the intervention. The value of modified Adapted Pedagogical Index was 0.669, indicating that the application was effective. The results of Kruskal-Wallis H and Mann–Whitney U test showed significant differences in different educational grades. (p<0.008)ConclusionUsing information technology can improve the education of deaf and hard-of-hearing students. Modified Adapted Pedagogical Index can be used for evaluation of non-interactive applications for elementary school children who are deaf or hard of hearing.

“…The accessibility of elearning is also found to be increased when spoken text and other sound information are presented together inside the video. Besides its potential in improving the reading skills among deaf students, it will also enable them to learn independently [12], [13].…”

E-learning is a term used to describe the elearning systems that delivers the learning content by using the Internet to offer the learning material to students supported by activities, assessments, and guidance. This paper presents an e-Learning concept that offers hearing-Impaired students in correspondence with the content in the learning environment. The system is designed ably for Hearing-Impaired students for the purpose of their lifelong learning. Thus, the purposes of this paper were 1) to develop concept of assistive e-learning system with multinary learning for Hearing-Impaired students and 2) to evaluate the conceptual framework of assistive e-learning system with multinary learning for Hearing-Impaired students. The e-Learning system was developed on a HTML5 platform. A MySQL database management system was used alongside an Apache web server, and PHP language was used as a software tool for development. The e-Learning framework which was designed for the special needs of hearingimpaired students was used to perform multinary information (multimedia, text and sign language). It also provides a menu for users, assisting them in learning how to use the e-learning by themselves. The system was evaluated using the Blackbox method of software evaluation. The result showed that the level of efficiency of the system framework was at an excellent level and could efficiently be used in educational institutions.  Index Terms-assistive e-learning, conceptual framework, hearing-impaired and sign language

“…These interpreters and translators are human; however, with growing interest among the scientific and research community towards helping deaf persons and the development of technology, a few applications and tools have been developed to help deaf improve their hearing world and simplify their ability to communicate [22]. Efforts have been made to automate the translation of the gestures to text or spoken language and vice versa, initially with the use of images of signs and then with video clips and files [23]. Threedimensional images and avatars are the latest tools in this field.…”

Abstract-Studies have shown that deaf and hearing-impaired students have many difficulties in learning applied disciplines such as Medicine, Engineering, and Computer Programming. This study aims to investigate the readiness of deaf students to pursue higher education in applied sciences, more specifically in computer science. This involves investigating their capabilities in computer skills and applications. Computer programming is an integral component in the technological field that can facilitate the development of further scientific advances. Devising a manner of teaching the deaf and hearing-impaired population will give them an opportunity to contribute to the technology sector. This would allow these students to join the scientific world when otherwise; they are generally unable to participate because of the limitations they encounter. The study showed that deaf students in Jeddah are eager to continue their higher education and that a large percentage of these students are keen on studying computer science, particularly if they are provided with the right tools.
