Mobile Cloud Computing for Dyslexia: A Literature Review Analysis

This literature review, based on the provided student assignment, explores the application of mobile cloud computing technology in developing effective multimodal interface tools for students with dyslexia. The review analyzes four key research papers focusing on mobile apps and frameworks designed to assist dyslexic learners. The first study, "Dyslexia Baca," highlights a mobile app designed to aid in alphabet recognition using technology, pedagogy, and content. The second paper, "M-Learning: Effective Framework for Dyslexic Students Based on Mobile Cloud Computing Technology," emphasizes the importance of mobile cloud computing in enhancing learning. The third paper, "Towards M-Learning Effective Tool to Improve Education for Dyslexic Students," discusses the role of ICT and assistive technologies in improving dyslexic students' learning. The final paper, "Online Learning for Individuals with Dyslexia: A Literature Review," compares online learning to traditional methods for dyslexic individuals. Each paper is summarized, with key features, advantages, disadvantages, and impact factors analyzed, providing a critical understanding of the tools and methods used to assess the effectiveness of these technologies. The review underscores the potential of mobile cloud computing and assistive technologies to improve educational outcomes for students with dyslexia.

Electronic learning is effective in many ways. But it has
been observed that the children without any disabilities
were learning and improving. But it did not help the
disabled in an effective manner. Specific design needs to be
incorporated in order to benefit the dyslexic students.
A questionnaire is created by the author to find out the
efficiency of ICT on the learning of the disabled students.
