Abstract :
The main intention of this research is to evaluate the effectiveness of IQRA´ learning by using multimedia application for children between the age of 5 to 8 years. The researchers have adapted the Principles of Persuasive Technology into this application to increase its effectiveness. Persuasive Technology refers to any interactive computing system designed to change people´s attribute or behavior. A Usability Test and Heuristic Evaluation are performed to assess the application. The assessment includes interactivity, navigation, design, color, and integration of multimedia elements. It is found that by adapting the Principles of Persuasive Technology, the multimedia has a significant impact in educating the children to learn IQRA´ effectively.
