Kid-Dose: Mobile Application for Learning English and Basic Mathematics for Kids

Abstract

Kid-Dose is a mobile solution designed to increase knowledge in the English language and Mathematics for kids. The app is designed to be engaging and interactive, with a range of learning activities that reinforce the learning objectives. [1] The methodology for Kid-Dose involves a structured approach that includes a needs assessment, content development, user interface design, learning activities, assessment and evaluation, and continuous improvement. The app has the potential to be an effective tool for improving knowledge in the English language and Mathematics for kids, and further research can be conducted to assess its effectiveness.
