Design and Development of an Educational Arabic Sign Language Mobile Application: Collective Impact with Tawasol

This paper describes Tawasol, a multimedia system offering an innovative and engaging learning experience for people with hearing impairments. Tawasol is a project developed in collaboration between a university-based research group and a charitable foundation. We describe the novel system features specific to Arabic interfaces and signing conventions. Challenges that were faced in the design and development of the software are discussed.
