One of the Koran learning methods applied in this design is the Iqra method. This device consists of two parts, namely a device for teachers / instructors in the form of an android application and a device for students / blind people who will learn in the form of electronic devices Braille cell viewers using piezoelectric mechanics. Communication between the Teacher's device and the Student's device uses wireless communication media, namely Bluetooth.
