This paper presents study investigating the extent to which Saudi students understand and are familiar with mobile learning. It investigates students' use of handheld devices and considers the daily activities for which they could be used while also evaluating m-learning in Saudi Arabia - a topic that has not yet received adequate attention from researchers. Initial data was acquired through a questionnaire...
Educators are facing the challenge to use the learning potential of games from several complementary objectives. Above all, they need to develop their own competencies and critical thinking on games. The overarching framework for a fruitful answer to this challenge could be structured around a particular type of literacy, the so-called gaming literacy. This new type of literacy seeks to provide a...
The huge amount of heterogeneous content available nowadays on the Web pushes towards approaches and tools to allow people, even non-technical ones, to retrieve, combine and manipulate such content, in order to satisfy their knowledge needs. In this paper we illustrate how composition technologies enable teacher and students to create, use and share interactive workspaces that can enhance their learning...
Smartphones have become an indispensable part of everyday life. With all of their advanced functionality today, smartphone-users can experience everything from surfing the web to watching movies to social media and gaming, resulting in a radical shift in behavior patterns, lifestyle and status. The current study aims to examine the structural relationship, behavior and preferences among young Cypriots...
Distance education that is supported traditionally through technology has transitioned from e-learning to mobile learning because of the ubiquitous presence of the Internet, as well as rapid advancements in Information and Communication Technology (ICT) and recent improvements in learning technology. With the coming and popularization of mobile devices and ubiquitous computing, the idea of e-learning...
The market sizes of each IoT application are relatively smaller than the PC and smartphone, although the development and production cost of the LSIs are becoming high. The LSI designers should find the ways to get funding of their development. One way is to get funding from providing system solution or service applications with expanding business models from supplying devices, as well as reducing...
A challenge identified in the current education system is that students, irrelevant of their reading capabilities, are required to follow the same literature. This paper presents a system designed to address such a challenge. The Adaptive eBook has the capability of switching the text to a simpler version, as soon as the built-in reading problem detector detects a reading difficulty. The system was...
Although mobile devices are ubiquitous on university campuses, teacher-readiness for mobile learning has yet to be fully explored in the non-western nations. This study shows that two main factors affect the adoption and use of m-learning among female teachers within a university in Saudi Arabia—resistance to change and perceived social culture. These determinants of the current use and intention...
Information visualization is a very important tool in BigData analytics. BigData, structured and unstructured data which contains images, videos, texts, audio and other forms of data, collected from multiple datasets, is too big, too complex and moves too fast to analyse using traditional methods. This has given rise to two issues; 1) how to reduce multidimensional data without the loss of any data...
Smartphones are here to stay, transforming how we communicate, collaborate and share in our everyday lives, providing a wide variety of applications. Smartphones are becoming more affordable, 3G and 4G networks expand and mobile applications offer a convenient way to access information. The current study aims to investigate smartphone and smartphone applications utilization by university students...
Learning requires appropriate management of time and resources. Consequently, self regulated learning (SRL) becomes predominant and apparent (Bartolome et al., 2011; Lefrere, 2011). More and more educators at all educational levels are trying to enfold self regulated learning in the learning process (van Ewijk et al., 2012; Kramarski et al., 2009). The use of technology-based procedures transforms...
With the ubiquity and rapidly expanding functionality of mobile technologies, educational institutions have the potential to improve and facilitate learning. More and more educators are employing communication, collaboration and sharing tools and resources to make learning more accessible, equitable, personalized and flexible for students everywhere.
The security of handover key management in Long Term Evolution (LTE) /System Architecture Evolution (SAE) has been a popular topic in recent years. In this paper we first describe the security architecture and key hierarchy of LTE/SAE, clarifying security requirements of key management in handover. Next, we analyze security of key management in X2 handover (intra-MME handover), and point out the current...
Motivation is an essential factor to promote academic performance and learning satisfaction. Moreover, the development of mobile cooperative learning has become important in the mobile learning environment. Taking different learning styles into consideration when designing instructional materials will meet individual needs and improve learning outcome. However, limited research has been done on investigating...
This paper explores the impacts of interpersonal communication on citizens' scientific literacy in China. The article claims that interpersonal communication has been an important channel of citizens' access to S&T information. This paper analyzes interpersonal communication as an important factor to enhance Chinese civic scientific literacy by the data of the civic scientific literacy survey...
In this study, a mobile application development course was implemented from the perspective of technology, so that all of the inexperienced students who took the course were eventually able to independently develop a mobile application with their team to present their learning effects. The course structure was based on the service learning theory. The teacher led the students in performing field research...
The primary purpose of this paper is to summarize the history and status of China mobile science and technology museums, as well as the trend being predicted. The method used in this paper is documentation, theoretical analysis, investigation research and case study. It is analyzed that the mobile science and technology museums are characterized in social fund using and target audience service, and...
This study examines the development of students' creative imagination and its relation to students visiting science venues. A nation-wide survey had been conducted to assess school students' creative imagination and factors influencing it. Data consisted of 4162 students from grade 4 through grade 12. Findings showed that frequently visiting science venues such as science and technology museums, science...
Mobile robots are being utilized increasingly in many applications, which include the exploration of relatively unknown environments including aerial, undersea, volcanic or even alien environments such as the plateaus and deserts of Mars where the Curiosity or Rover robot and others continue to explore. Due to their mobile nature these robots present us with many problems in the area of energy conservation...
Because the mobile devices, such as mobile phone and tablet PC, are sold at a cheaper price but performance better and better with the development of ICTs, more and more Chinese learners can afford these devices and use them to learn. This project explore a course framework to integrate m-learning technology into online courses, which are used in School of Continue Education, Peking University. This...
