Luterbach, Kenneth J.; Hubbell, Kenneth R. – TechTrends: Linking Research and Practice to Improve Learning, 2015
To create instructional apps for desktop, laptop and mobile devices, developers must select a development tool. Tool selection is critical and complicated by the large number and variety of app development tools. One important criterion to consider is the type of development environment, which may primarily be visual or symbolic. Those distinct…

Sibanyoni, Nhlanhla A.; Alexander, Patricia M. – International Association for Development of the Information Society, 2018
In theory, educational applications that are engaging and motivating should easily persuade learners to use a mobile device for studying. Since this technology is already familiar to learners, mobile learning should be easily accessible; given a suitable m-learning application, learners could practice mathematics anytime or anywhere. LevelUp is an…

Atanga, Comfort; Jones, Beth A.; Krueger, Lacy E.; Lu, Shulan – Journal of Special Education Technology, 2020
Assistive technology (AT) helps bridge the gap between students with learning disabilities (LD) and their peers without LD. However, this implies a need for teachers to become well-trained and proficient in the use of AT. There are established AT competencies for educators, and AT services professionals must be knowledgeable about AT to select and…
