Abstract
Dear Editor in Chief
The educational approaches have significantly changed and facilitated the teaching and learning process through the advent of novel technologies [1]. In the last years, learning through smartphones along with web-based learning has become 2 main types of e-learning platforms, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic; however, smartphones are a more acceptable approach compared to web-based learning because of their availability and easy use. Accordingly, developing smartphone-based learning packages may promote the participation of students in learning procedures. Currently, there are 16 billion mobile phones worldwide, of which about 42% are smartphones [2].
