Abstract

The current era is characterized by a vast amount of knowledge and information, technical progress and a rapid change, which some have called the age of digital information. Interactive program is a modern technology with a positive impact in the field of education as an educational tool and has proven its importance in this area. The objective of this research is to present a new concept aimed at designing an interactive program for preschool children using Q-Mold program. The program is especially dedicated to introducing literacy concepts and skills to children, then evaluating their learning based on a system of varied questions in an interactive way. Moreover, the program is designed in a way that allow the teacher to choose the way concepts introduced and how they can be assessed. The outcome of this research which is the interactive program should be tested in future research to evaluate its effectiveness in teaching and evaluating preschool children.

Highlights

  • The current era is characterized by a vast amount of knowledge and information, technical progress and a rapid change, which some have called the age of digital information

  • The program is especially dedicated to introducing literacy concepts and skills to children, evaluating their learning based on a system of varied questions in an interactive way

  • Students who do not participate in educational activities involving direct interaction in classroom, their motivations become less than students interacting with the computer [5].Instead, educational media tools based on teaching and e-learning are superior to other traditional educational tools because they provide an opportunity for interaction between the learner and the subject of learning and provide the learner with cognitive expertise not provided by other tools [6]
