1.0 Introduction
In today’s world information technology and internet have provided solutions to a lot of
problems related to health care and issues related to transport and communication. Information
communication technology has become a huge platform for managing the issues like dyslexia
and many more. Information technology has created a lot of advantages which can be utilized for
human welfare. One of the most important inventions is the cloud computing in the field of
information technology (Alghabban, Salama & Altalhi, 2016). Cloud computing is created to
provide a powerful processing unit which is shared by several computers for analyzing data and
making reliable decisions.
In this report all the advantages and disadvantages of cloud computing are discussed with
the background of cloud computing. A model is first designed to understand the functioning of
the computer system for helping the dyslexic patients. Then the issues and boundaries of the
model related to the computer system are discussed and another model is designed further after
overcoming the issues. Some features are added to the new model for making it more accurate.
2.0 Problems faced by the Dyslexic patients
Dyslexia is a disease which makes it hard for the patients to read and study the alphabets
and drawings. Generally they have a vision problem which leads them to misunderstand the
problems due to the dyslexic nature. Generally they see the deformed or opposite view of the
characters and pictures (Mulfari et al., 2015). It is also a confusing issue for both the student as
well as the teacher in the classroom. The teacher may not understand the problems related to the
particular student and in some cases it is seen that the teacher is unable to identify the students. It
is not so dangerous issue for them to understand the concept behind any subject. Several methods

and techniques can be used for making the system more suitable for the dyslexic patients. It is
also very hard for the students to familiarize with new technologies which can be used in this
case (Alghabban, Salama & Altalhi, 2016). The main advantage of making the system more
advanced in terms of the creating a platform for the student is that the interface designing is not
only a easy topic but also it is a perfect job for them to make it more suitable for the system to
understand the topic.
3.0 Techniques which can be used for dyslexic patients
There are several techniques to help the dyslexic patients that can be used for the
advancement of the interface which is used between the computer and the patient.
3.1 Use of computing system for the dyslexic student
With the improvement of electronics and computer science various new technologies are
developed that can be a very good platform the dyslexic patients. The main advantage of using
the new technologies is that the student does not need to depend on any person for the
understanding of the subject. The computer system can be more effectively used for the dyslexic
students who are not able to read paragraphs or comprehension (Beacham & Duncan, 2017). The
computers can increase the reading capability of the student up to 80% when the student has
special cases related to the reading issues. The computer can also create a bigger view or image
using the projectors which can help the dyslexic students to understand the problems in an easier
way. The main advantage of using the computer system is that the students can use the resources
repeatedly and whenever needed. They do not need to rely upon other persons to make them
understood about the reading problems.

3.2 Use of cloud computing for the dyslexic student
Cloud computing is an important technology which can be used for the dyslexic students
who are unable to study properly. The main issue related to the reading is that the students
cannot identify the characters and alphabets properly (Mulfari, Celesti & Villari, 2015). An
advanced computing system can be designed based on the cloud computing so that the machine
can utilize all the data collected from the student and the main advantage of making the system
more advanced in terms of computing is that the machines have the decision taking techniques
which can be used by the users. The better data security, computing power, easy access of the
cloud make it more advanced and suitable for the use of the dyslexic students.
3.3 Use of mobile for the dyslexic students
In today’s world mobile phones are used in maximum and those have become almost a
constant companion of our daily life. Mobile can be used in case of helping the dyslexic students
who face several issues related to reading and pronouncing (Milić, Simić & Milutinović, 2014).
The main advantage of using the mobile phone is that it can help the student anytime and with
only a few touches of their fingers on the screen of the mobile. The mobile data can be also very
useful in case of making the students understand about the new techniques which can be helpful
for them to understand the problems.

5.2 Limitation/Drawbacks of 1st Best Solution
This project has a lot of limitations which are discussed in this section in details. The
main problem with this structure or the flowchart is that it can be used to determine the relations
with many limitations. It is unable to provide the two sided communication and that is
compulsory in case of solving the problems related to the students (Kraft et al., 2015). The main
advantage of making this device is that it can help the dyslexic patients. But in this case the
dyslexic patient cannot provide the issues related to his or her pronunciation and reading skill.
The other important problems regarding this flowchart is that it cannot make the system more
advanced in terms of accuracy and feedback from the point of view of the student only with
respect to other factors taking the scenario into account which is stated in the above mentioned
aspect (Johnson et al., 2014). The main problem of this system is that it does not ask the student
for feedback. The student is only able to get the idea about the objects which are shown in the
screen but specifically cannot convey his or her problem to the system (Pee et al., 2017). To get
the new model main focus should be given to the student and the issues of the student which
should be given to the system for the understanding of the difficulties of the student the student
may not understand the characters or letters given in a paragraph. The main problem is that they
are actually unable to make the differentiation between same kind of characters which look
almost same (Jayapandian, 2014). The main disadvantage is that some numbers and calculations
cannot be asked by the model to the student that they can understand those or not. The main
problem regarding this problem is that the students are completely out of idea when they are not
asked about the identification of the characters or sound. There are also many problems related to
the system which are also not helpful for the guardians of the students who may assist their
children in understanding the problems (Helland, 2016). That is why a new system is required

5.4 Limitations/Drawbacks of second Best Solution
This new model is more advanced in terms of making the student understand about the
characters and numbers identification in a more precise way. This has become possible for
adding a new part in the first model. A cloud computing feature is added to the system which can
be utilized in terms of making the system more advanced in terms of accuracy and reliability
from the point of view of the student. The main advantage of making the student more
understood about the project is that it can be used in a larger aspect for the student to make it
easier for them (Gómez & Ojala, 2014). The main problem in the previous model was that
students were unable to make the identification and differentiation of the characters and several
numbers from the data resources given by the system. The other important problems regarding
this flowchart is that it cannot make the system more advanced in terms of accuracy and
feedback from the point of view of the student only with respect to other factors taking the
scenario into account. The main problem of this system is that it does not ask the student for
feedback. The student is only able to get the idea about the objects which are shown in the screen
but specifically cannot convey his or her problem to the system (Alghabban, Salama & Altalhi,
2017). To overcome this model the system is added with the cloud element which has a much
more powerful processing unit for the analysis of the data given by the student in terms of
making the problems from the point of student. The introduction of the cloud computing in the
new model has created a platform for the student which actually asks them to verify about the
objects which are shown in the display system of the computers (Beacham & Duncan, 2017).
The main advantage of making the system more advanced in terms of making it more suitable to
the student is that they can easily identify and compare their problems with respect to the
standards.

6.0 Conclusion
From the above discussion it can be concluded that the students having dyslexia can
reduce their difficulties to a greater extent by using the computing system in which the cloud
computing features are implemented. The main advantages of this system are that the system is
more powerful in terms of processing and decision making due to the use of the cloud computing
feature. The main aspect of the system is that it asks the students repeatedly about the objects
which they are actually watching in the screen and in this way the system try to understand the
issues of the student. After understanding the issues the system actually implements it data
analysis to recover the actual information related to the student for better understanding the
student’s point of view.
