| Summary: | This paper presents the design and delivery of X-leksia: a multimedia courseware to aid
basic reading skills in Malay language among the pre-school dyslexics. The courseware has been
developed based on multi-sensory teaching approach. It supports the visual, auditory, kinaesthetic
elements via multimedia and “learn by doing” exercises that will reinforce each other for optimal
learning. The courseware has undergone both formative and summative evaluation with dyslexics
and subject matter experts from Dyslexia Association of Wilayah Persekutuan, Kuala Lumpur. The
evaluation procedure, criteria and results are presented in this paper. As a result of completing the
evaluation procedure, the author found that X-leksia’s approach was well received by the children
and teachers alike although there is still room for improvement. The courseware is hoped to
contribute a significant idea to the development of technology in Malay language education for preschool
dyslexics in Malaysia. |
