“…However, the results will be accurate if using digital media (Graf et al, 2008). Presentation of material and evaluation of content using digital media was considered to be efficient in verifying and validating learning styles (Tang et al, 2013). Based on that, the research question is how to make elicitation applications that can identify children's learning styles.…”

Learning styles is one aspect of pedagogy that needs to be considered in the learning process. Understanding of material will be achieved if it is by the learning styles. Children do not have experience in the learning process, so identification of children learning styles is needed. The cognitive, psycho-motor and emotional abilities of children in each varying age range become a factor that determines learning styles. Learning styles tend to be recommended to children in the form of visual, audio, read/write and kinesthetic. Identification can be made towards learning styles that are by the child's preferences. The use of digital applications will be more accurate when compared to questionnaires in identifying learning styles. The presentation of interactive material and immersive in each learning styles can help identify children's learning styles. The assessment of material understanding was clarified in elicitation apps. The material evaluation was presented in the form of a set of questions related to the material presented. Interactions in the evaluation activities in the apps were presented according to the child's learning styles. Output produced by the application can be used by learning application developers, teachers, or parents in identifying children's learning styles.

“…There are many advantages offered by the application itself. The advantages include improving the children's learning performance (Bonsignore, Quinn, Druin, & Bederson, 2013;Chachil, Engkamat, Sarkawi, & Shuib, 2015;Yahaya & Salam, 2014), reducing the formality in learning process (Attewell, 2005), improving children's development of fundamental arithmetic skills (Barendregt, Lindström, Rietz-Leppänen, Holgersson, & Ottosson, 2012), developing the communication skills of disabled children (Tang, Jheng, Chien, Lin, & Chen, 2013) and many more. The assimilation of the multimedia application and the learning activities increases children's interest during the learning process due to its success in attracting children's attention with the multimedia elements included in the application.…”

Children learn from what they see and hear. One of the attractive applications is animation story and these children are exposed to various types of animation story. However, not all animation stories presented are suitable for children's education in terms of exaggeration elements applied in animation. Furthermore, the existence of mobile application does not emphasize the touch gesture that is suitable for children's age. Hence, there is a lack of mobile learning applications with education-oriented environment for children's education. Therefore, there is a need for research to develop a well-designed mobile application with suitable exaggeration elements together with good story plots and socio-cultural values to educate as well entertain children. This paper discusses the design and development of Malay folktales mobile application called MFolktales based on a local Malay folktale story. MFolktales is an Android-based application and it was developed based on the validated conceptual model as well as analyzed and defined design principles and requirements. This paper presents the development process of MFolktales application. The development life cycle was adopted from ADDIE Instructional Design (ID) model, taking into consideration the animation development process of pre-production, production, and post-production. Overall, there are five phases involved in the development life cycle: analysis, design, development, implementation and evaluation. The application was tested to strengthen its functionality and usability. The result shows that MFolktales application is ready to be tested to real users and ready to be commercialized.
