Mobile technology offers new opportunities for engaging learners in non-classroom settings, promotes student motivation and encourages learners to personalize their learning experience. However, the major setback with learning in a mobile device is the limited screen space. The nature of interaction is also different between large and small display, in which text input is found not suitable to be...
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...
Rapid growing of internet applications and users has led the improvement of mobile web browser technology and standards such as HTML5. Recently, HTML5 is turning to be a de facto standard after some of its features has been implemented in major mobile web browsers. Moodle as a web based Learning Management System (LMS) has been popular in academic environment for supporting learning activities and...
The advance of mobile technology has empowered learners. The affordance of mobile technology can be exploited to make education more pervasive and equitable. It expedites the pedagogical shift from teacher-centered to student-centered learning, enabling a ubiquitous learning environment that will promote students' engagement through multiple modalities. We explore ways to maximize the power of mobile...
The rapid development of wireless communication and sensor technologies have enhanced the learning performance. Therefore, the web-based learning has been evolved into mobile learning and even ubiquitous learning in recent years. Ubiquitous learning facilitates interactive and context aware services and provide an intelligent learning environment to enable people to learn using any device at any place,...
As mobile devices become increasingly prominent in the lives of children worldwide, many researchers are experimenting with the use of these popular devices for a range of different teaching and learning purposes. A mobile learning application for the young ones should be designed and developed with respect to their technological skill, learning capability and language proficiency. This paper discusses...
Ubiquitous computing devices are transforming the way that learners study. But most of e-learning contents designed for PC are not suitable for handheld devices. In addition, some materials, irrelevant to learnerpsilas preferences or contextual environments, may affect the learning efficiency, and also increase the communication costs. In order to provide adaptive contents according to device capabilities...
The deployment of mobile and ubiquitous computing in smart objects introduces the concept of an Internet of things which will offer new scenarios for learning processes. This paper presents this concept in relation with some other new alternatives of spaces for learning. A basic architecture for interaction is proposed and a set of prototypes that we have developed are also explained as part of an...
In the past few years, many new development toolkits such as the Nebula2 and/or mobile technologies including the WiFi or mobileTV have opened up exciting learning opportunities on mobile devices. On top of it, new technologies continue to fuel the rapid growth of newly merged fields of research like the edutainment for educational entertainment. In a recent teaching development project, we have developed...
Learning through mobile devices such as PDAs, mobile phones, laptops with wireless capabilities, today is integrated within education systems to deliver electronic contents and to support real-time communications. It is used as a tool to engage learners in collaborative, communicative, constructive and supportive activities. It is unique in ensuring ubiquity and mobility in learning without time,...
Existing mobile language learning tools are Web-based and subject to connectivity disturbance that ensue in restricted use. The lack of research in the implementation of mobile language learning has ignited the motivation for this study. The proposed Multimedia Mobile Language Translation tool (MMLT), incorporating various multimedia elements such as image, video, sound and text to provide alternatives...
