In subjects, where a major part of the education is based on visual information, like geosciences, architecture or civil engineering, this information is often tied to a specific location. Field studies and excursions are thus an essential part of the education in such subjects. This paper describes an application designed to bring the advantages of collaborative, technology enhanced learning into...
The University of Pavia has instituted an experimental project (Kiro Project) at the Faculty of Pharmacy to improve the quality of learning through tools based upon the Web. Beginning with the background, the article presents the methodological foundations of the project, the first results achieved, and the lines of pedagogical, management, and technological development which make possible the extension...
Recent years was seen an incremental amount of mobile learning experiments for the purpose of implementing mobile ICTs into mainstream education. However, the adoption of mobile learning in basic education - primary and secondary schools, is still disappointingly slow, rather than exponential. This case study portrays a unique and novel education concept derived from the Chinese mobile learning industry,...
This article talks about the concept of mobile learning, technology to support mobile learning and models of mobile learning practice. The authors also give us a lot of scenarios to introduce mobile learning as a way to improve learnerspsila experience of learning, optimize learning process and get better learning results.
With a rapid deployment of mobile devices, mobile learning gives rise to new possibilities for extending learning opportunities to all social-economic levels. Nevertheless, current research on mobile learning has mostly been aimed at enhancing learning of school or college students. In this light, the paper seeks to throw light on the potential of mobile learning for distance learner communities,...
The purpose of this paper is to formulate a functional platform that supports the e-learning objectives: study individually and freely. The proposed platform is based on 3G mobile phone technology, it is integrated with operation system and application software developed with JAVA 2 micro edition and Flash Lite version 1.2, respectively. This platform gives learners the ability to learn anytime and...
An overall WAP-enabled mobile learning platform solution is described in this paper. It provides satisfactory telecommunication service on campus nationwide. The key features of the platform include campus communication, educational administration, remote learning, and text message notification. The data can be accessed through a common interface and shared with a Web-based campus network. The WAP...
The diversity of mobile terminals, the limitations of hardware and the instability of wireless networks have put forward challenges to the development of the mobile software which should be fit to the learnerspsila needs of learning in mobile environment. Based on the study of M-learning and semantic LCMS, the authorspsila team has developed software which can satisfy the above demand. The software...
Along with the gradual popularity of various palmtop calculation devices, mobile education gains universal attention. According to the relationship between device and network, we classify mobile education into three categories: permanently online, frequently online and offline. Considering the current condition of network environment in primary and secondary school, as well as the general requirement...
One of the main challenges of using mobile devices as a learning platform is the impermanent network environment due to the wireless coverage or wireless link fail. On the other hand, GPRS or 3G telecommunication protocol offer the persistent connectedness of learning, but comparative weak computing power and very limited network bandwidth cause the learning as time-consuming process. Besides, the...
This paper deals with the creation and utilization of user profiles and user service profiles within an InfoStation based mobile eLearning (mLearning) environment. The underlying technologies are paid particular attention. A description of a generic mLearning service along with sample interactions among the involved system entities is provided. Various profile attributes affecting the service adaptation...
Mobile learning means learners can access learning resources at anywhere and anytime with mobile devices; Because these devices operate in different ways and have different capabilities, so some learning resources may not be in a format that different mobile devices accept. In order to provide learners with appropriate courses, a project on mobile learning platform supporting three-layered structure...
With the development of software, hardware and network technology, the urge for geo-location based information and service, mobile GIS (geographic information system) has prevailed in today??s life. However, limitations from the nature characters of mobile terminals, deficiency in wireless network and large volume of GIS data block an operable and quick response for a mobile GIS query. In this paper,...
Recent advances in cooperative technology and classical communication are based entirely on the assumption that the Internet and active networks are not in conflict with object-oriented languages. In fact, few information theorists would disagree with the visualization of DHTs that made refining and possibly simulating 8 bitarchitectures a reality, which embodies the compelling principles of electrical...
In this paper, the security of user domain including mobile terminal (MT) and user in heterogeneous wireless networks (HWN) are paid more attention. We introduce the trusted platform module (TPM) to ensure the terminal trustworthiness, while password, fingerprint and smartcard guarantee userpsilas identity. MT, user, and smartcard have been regarded as three separated entities, as well as the user...
As part of globalizing education, the Linnaeus-Palme programme offers universities to exchange lecturers. Two departments coming from China and Sweden utilized this opportunity. A Swedish professor gave a course on software lifecycle management in China. In this paper, we report on a teaching experience gained during this programme. This experience indicates that there are no national boundaries when...
The focus of this paper is on access security aspects of 3G-WLAN interworking. Firstly, the authentication entities which do not rely on the concrete heterogeneous network are abstracted by analyzing 3G-WLAN multi-kind heterogeneous network model. And then a common authentication model is established and a novel access authentication and key agreement scheme combined elliptic curve cryptographic techniques...
