M-learning plays a progressively significant role in the advancement of teaching and learning in higher education. However, the effective implementation of m-learning in higher education will be based on users' experiences and motivation to use this technology. Though m-learning has become global, developing countries such as Nigeria are yet to enjoy the full potential offered by m-learning. This...
The convergence of Wi-Fi technologies and mobile devices present prospects to design and implement applications that will support learning on the move. Mobile learning (m-learning) is the study and practice of using mobile devices, such as smart phones, mobile phones, tablets, PDAs, MP3s and pocket PCs to support learning for anyone, anytime and anywhere. Through well-situated and flexible mobile...
Due to a large presence of smartphones and other mobile devices it is necessary to use mobile and user-friendly LMS (Learning Management System) to deliver e-learning and blended learning courses and to offer a native application for e-learning support services. Based on technical and usability requirements as well as users' opinion and recommendations, mobile-friendly eCampus LMS/LCMS (Learning Content...
This paper presents on-going research at one of the pilot school sites involved in the HP- National Education Technology Assessment (HP-NETa) project which investigates innovative ways of collecting and understanding learning outcome data that emerge from effective technology implementation in the classroom. This paper reflects on teachers' initial self-reported level of Information Communication...
The recent arrival of technological devices such as smart phones or tablets has had an enormous impact on the whole society. The young generation cannot imagine their living without them anymore. All these changes undoubtedly are reflected in all spheres of human activities including learning. Therefore the purpose of this article is to discuss the concept of m-learning, the most common mobile devices...
The use of Mobile Technologies opens new possibilities for the teaching and learning processes, taking us to a new reality, called Mobile Learning or m-Learning. The m-learning in this work is defined" as learning processes that occur, necessarily supported by the use of mobile technologies and that has mobility as a fundamental characteristic of human actors, who may be physically / geographically...
Remote Laboratories constitute a first order didactic resource in engineering faculties. Their use from mobile devices to increase the availability of the experiments at the laboratory is a challenge highly coupled to the requirements established by each experiment. This paper will present and compare the main strategies for adapting a Remote Laboratory to mobile devices, as well as the experience...
Mobile learning has been investigated from a range of perspectives, but there is little published research on usability of m-learning environments. To have successful educational m-learning it is essential to devise and implement appropriate usability testing methodologies to evaluate the usability of mobile applications. The research study contribution is the new proposed MLUAT methodology that is...
This research is concerned with the utilization of mobile devices as a tool for learning (m-learning). Therefore, approaches in developing learning applications that can suit the small screen size and restrictive capabilities of the devices are studied so that they can help the learners in understanding the concepts being delivered from the applications. This paper presents the study of design principles...
Technology advancement has indeed revolutionized how we conduct our lives including education, but in so doing, technology creates a widening educational gap between privileged and underprivileged countries. While students in the first world countries fiddling with the state of the art computer engaging learning electronically, their counterparts in the third world countries are still struggling to...
M-Learning is an exciting art of using mobile technologies to enhance learning skills. Mobile phones, PDAs, Pocket PCs and the Internet can be joined together in order to engage and motivate learners, anytime anywhere. The society is entering a new era of m-Learning, which makes important to analyze and innovate the current educational tools. In addition Learner-Centered Design (LCD) is considered...
Over recent years, the rapid development of mobile devices has made possible the support of educational applications in distance education to the extent that the term m-learning (mobile learning) has now been established as a relatively autonomous field with distinct features as to the means used compared to e-learning in general. This paper focuses on the for a of asynchronous distance education...
Learning activity based standards like the IMS Learning Design (IMS-LD) have recently emerged. Typical implementations of this standard rely on client-server architectures. This is problematic for resource limited mobile devices that may not have reliable Internet access. This paper presents the design and implementation of a system that takes a sub-set of the IMS LD design specification involving...
In the mobile-learning the reduced functionalities of the mobile devices must be integrated with the typologies of the services delivered to the student. By referring to the Remote Didactic Laboratory Laboratorio Didattico Remoto - LA.DI.RE. ldquoG. Savastanordquo the delivered services taken into account are: experiment visualization, experiment control, and experiment creation. In order to enable...
In the comprehensive process of lifetime learning, the introduction of m-learning systems, services and applications represents one of the main challenges in the area of ubiquitous computing (ubicomp). With the rapid development of mobile devices, the widespread provision of connectivity, as well as well-modeled learning services, all presumptions for effective m-learning implementations are fulfilled...
M-learning has attracted the attention of technology-enhanced learning community mainly as a side effect of the growth of the mobile communications industry. While the educational added-value of m-learning is under investigation, technological efforts are much needed to align m-learning technologies with the current state-of-the-art specifications in TeL. Thus, in this paper, we present the SMILE...
