INTRODUCTION
Mobile devices are becoming more popular worldwide, changing the way people learn and access information (Alvarez, Alarcon, & Nussbaum, 2011). In the last decade, thousands of novel applications in mobile learning are emerging.
Research has provided evidence that mobile technology is expanding the learning experience both inside and outside the classroom.
It has many advantages over traditional education technology such as being interactive, immersive and engaging, increases in student’s motivation and the ease of personalized and collaborative learning (Al-Hmouz, Shen, Yan, & Al-Hmouz, 2010).
However, there are some considerations when implementing mobile educational applications for students, especially for students with special educational needs.
