Abstract

This research is concerned with deploying design pattern and formative evaluation for Qiraat mobile application using both Rapid Application Development (RAD) and User Experience (UX) methodologies. The ultimate aim of this research is to encourage ubiquitous teaching and learning of Qiraat through mobile devices. In this paper, continuous progress of MyQiraat design will be presented. The improvement of MyQiraat version design has been evaluated using high-fidelity and low-fidelity prototypes for MyQiraat version 1 and version 2 respectively. Results show that most participants realized the potential benefits of the application allowing a better understanding and encouragement of Qiraat learning among them. However, participants’ feedback should be considered in the development of the prototype.

Highlights

Quran is the book revealed by Allah s.w.t as mankind guidance
Implication for the proposed design were analysed to identify the benefit of the MyQiraat mobile application
It is worth noting that MyQiraat version 1 was evaluated using the prototype on mobile devices while MyQiraat version 2 was evaluated based on paper-prototype design

Summary

Introduction

Quran is the book revealed by Allah s.w.t as mankind guidance. As Muslims are required to read, studied and examined all the time, so that the Quran will truly guide our life. For example; types of nasalisation (called “ghunnah ‫)”غنة‬ For these reasons, learning how to recite properly is very important with the guidance of expert teacher because we can learn how the teacher recite the Quran with accurate pronunciations. Learning Qiraat using kitab (book) guided under a qualified teacher has been the practice until today [6,7,8]. The limitation of this method is that both students and lecturer should be present and spend more time together to comprehend the Qiraat learning [8,9,10]
