In this paper, we introduce the outcomes of a project, which
aims at developing an adaptive curriculum in engineering education that is
based on digital learning resources for mobile devices. This project comes as a
response to the requirements for modernization and accessibility of the
Jordanian higher education system to improve the integration of disadvantaged
learners in the educational system. Disadvantaged learners include those with
special needs or a socioeconomic status that significantly restrict their
ability for adequate education. Those include high school students and
undergraduate/graduate students at universities. The study investigated methods
for effective and sustainable integration of mobile technologies into the
educational process. Additionally, an assessment of the most suitable digital
content and devices to be used was conducted in order to develop plans,
strategies and programs that combine the appropriate methods and techniques of
training, particularly for people with special needs. The study of the
educational needs to implement the newest mobile technologies was carried out
by means of questionnaires and interviews.
