Tracking E-Learning for Arabic Dyslexia Through Published Papers: A Systematic Review

E-learning provides asynchronous learning to anyone regardless of time and location. It can be useful for individuals with dyslexia. Dyslexia is a reading difficulty that affects individuals’ lives. It can have a wide range of symptoms that vary depending on language. Since Arabic is a widely used language, it was targeted in this review. This paper aims to highlight existing research on e-learning for individuals with Arabic dyslexia in order to understand the current state of research, understand the benefits of existing e-learning systems, discover the limitations of this research and point to future research directions. Therefore, we conducted a systematic literature review (SLR) by comprehensively searching six scientific literature databases, selecting studies through inclusion and exclusion criteria, assessing the quality of the selected studies and analysing and synthesising these studies to draw conclusions. The main findings are there is a dearth of e-learning research targeting individuals with Arabic dyslexia, recent research has focused on training individuals with Arabic dyslexia on already-taught topics, primarily in the domain of reading skills, and there were widespread weaknesses with experimental samples, evaluation methods, and the analysis and interpretation of results. Therefore, this research contributes to directing the research proposals by considering these findings. Also, a conceptual model is proposed to facilitate the design of inclusive e-learning systems for Arabic dyslexia to balance learner requirements with adaptive design and accessible experiences.
