| Summary: | The present study presents the steps taken to produce a mobile e-portfolio for Arabic learners, which
is named iCollect. Common e-portfolio features and suggestions by e-portfolio experts were considered
when designing iCollect. Its prototype, which was web-based, was shown to a sample of the target group.
They expressed their preferences for Dashboard, Profile, Settings, Journals, Artifacts, Portfolio, Connect,
Members and Question functions which have been integrated with the relevant Web 2.0 tools. Their feedback
was used to improve iCollect further. The mobile version took into account the smaller phone screen size.
The availability of Arabic scripts makes it suitable for learning and teaching Arabic. |
