“…There are also emerging mobile digital learning applications that may be applied by teachers to teach dyscalculia learners, namely MathBoard [27], Long Division (Nagavalli & Juliet, 2015), Multiplication Genius, Flashcards to Go, Math Drills, and Multiplication [29], Go Play Ball and Go Road Trip [30], Go Math [31], and Calculic Kids [32]. These applications have been proven to assist dyscalculia learners in Mathematics in a more effective manner due to their user-oriented design that meets the needs of such learners.…”

Dyscalculia refers to persistent difficulty in learning Mathematics without being aware of the condition. Such a condition is not easily detected and most of them would be left undetected, apart from being labelled as lazy or slow learners. Early delay places them behind in acquiring other fundamental areas of Mathematics. As such, this study identified learners suffering from dyscalculia (also known as acalculia) through screening tests for early intervention. The methodology used in this study was based on two screening tests (ST1 and ST2) conducted on learners to identify ‘student areas’ or their specific type of dyscalculia using the Dyscalculia Screening Test Instrument (DSTI) and verification of the specific types made by selected expert teachers, respectively. An early identification study on suitable assistive learning technology for these learners was performed. Prior studies reported that suitable assistive technological tools can improve the learning process of those with learning disability (LD). The findings displayed the effectiveness of the screening tests (ST1 and ST2) in detecting learners with dyscalculia, particularly in areas related to memory, abstraction, sequencing processing, motor, and visual perception. The results derived from plausible assistive digital technology revealed that visual-based fusion technology, such as Augmented Reality (AR), exposed the dyscalculia learners to experiential learning approach that made learning Mathematics meaningful.

“…Go Math! ( Figure 1) is a math app developed by researchers at Stanford University for people of all ages to use in real life situations that require math skills (Alexander, Blair, Goldman, & Jimenez, 2010). The app was designed using interviews of people to find out specifically which math skills they needed to use in their daily lives.…”

The development, usage, and investigation of educational math applications for mobile devices have increased in recent years. This manuscript analyzes the current state of educational mathematics applications for K-12, higher learning, and professional needs. Specifically, we will highlight the current limitations, and provide a taxonomy of the features found in the most effective apps. Also, we specify the major components and considerations concerning math applications. Several methods of implementation are discussed within indicated learning contexts. Alignment with solid educational theory promotes the effectiveness of the apps, which has been replicated in multiple research studies. Finally, we provide an overview of the types of math apps and how to select one that fits a specific instructional need.

“…Kalloo et al (2010) have developed a game-based mobile application to help elementary school students learn mathematics. Go Math (Alexander et al, 2010) is another mobile application developed to help with mathematics in everyday life. Other applications designed to help students during fieldwork include (Rost and Holmquist, 2008) a system that helps university students of ethnography to collect data in the form of photos, audio, video and text notes during their fieldwork and automatically uploads their data to a website.…”

“…Their mobility, small size, connectivity to the internet, user familiarity and ability to capture, present and transmit data in multiple forms make them natural choices for outdoor educational scenarios. In recent years, a lot of research has been conducted that illustrates the advantages of mobile devices for learning, especially for outdoor learning (Sharples et al, 2007;Rost and Holmquist, 2008;Alexander et al, 2010).…”

Mobile technologies have proven their value in field learning. Meanwhile, classroom technologies such as multi-touch interactive tables are gaining attention as well. With shareable interfaces and larger displays, multitouch tables enable multiple students to interact and collaborate more flexibly. Thus, today's technology provides different means to facilitate learning both indoor and outdoor, in the form of specialised devices; yet an integrative view is missing in the literature so far. The goal of this paper is to propose a generic framework, capable of connecting different kinds of devices, such that the most suited device can be employed for each specific learning activity. Based on this framework, a pilot system has been developed that allows students to collect data through tablets on a field trip and share it with other peers via Bluetooth. Learners could also take part in a quiz, sent by the teacher to their mobile devices, and send their results back to the teacher through Bluetooth.
