Abstract :
Tablets and Smartphones are becoming objects of everyday life. These devices are commonly used to reading newspapers, GPS navigator, make purchases online, check email, etc ... These touch devices are also used as tools for learning, so they should take advantage of the synergy of both students usage as teachers are accustomed to using. Enter applications on these devices get the student is next to the content and always wear accessible 24 hours a day is one of the objectives to be achieved. Applications that can be installed on these devices allow dynamic learning objects and interactive exercises that allow learning autocorrections more fluid by the student. It should be noted value to these devices is the collective learning for the visually impaired, both blind and low vision in people, as these devices allow the user to read the contents and even visually expand the contents to people with low vision. If we apply these benefits to our learning objects in electrical engineering and electronics will be facilitating innovative learning tool in devices that use on a daily basis.
