Educational and Technical Standards for Designing Mobile Learning Applications from the Perspective of Educational Technology Experts

Abstract

This study aimed to identify the educational and technical standards for designing mobile learning applications. To achieve the research objective, the descriptive method was adopted to analyze and describe the previous literature in order to deduce standards. A list of standards was developed in a form of questionnaire in order to identify significance and relevance of standards. The tool was applied in an electronic form to a sample of (35) educational technology experts from the teaching staff members in Faculties of Education in Egypt. After the analysis of the results, a list of educational and technical standards for designing mobile learning applications was identified. These included (5) educational standards with a total of (43) indicators, and (5) technical standards with a total of (48) indicators. In light of these results, a number of recommendations were proposed.
