We are trying to point out new methods of education by means of mobile technologies and smart devices. The results of questionnaire exploration at the participating universities were analyzed from the point of view of student used mobile technologies, where we compared the mode of using mobile technologies among universities in Hungary and Slovakia. We are thinking about study field of Information...
During the last decades we have been witnesses of a very rapid technical revolution. Today we are surrounded by smart devices (smart phones, smart TVs, smart houses, smart cars) that have radically transformed our daily life as well. Learning methods and information gathering techniques of the youth has become quite different from that of their parents'. Lecturers have to change their educational...
With the rapid development of computer network technology, mobile communication technology and instant communication tools, it provides a new teaching platform for higher education. In this study, it provides mobile learning resources based on WeChat public platform, and applies WeChat in mobile learning, improve the flexibility of learning, build more good autonomous learning and collaborative learning...
To enhance the computer science curriculum, a mobile device application (smart phone app), Kizzle, was developed and is currently tested in an introductory course in computer science. The motivation for the app comes from recent literature that indicates that women and students of color are less likely to participate in class, either to ask or answer questions [1][2]. As a result of this “shyness”...
Today, we're seeing strong demand real-time information, with a rapid expansion of mobile learning (m-learning). We also see that there are many educational resources on the Internet. The learning objects (LOs) are designed as a way to reuse these resources. Some of these LOs are built for fixed devices, which hinders their use on mobile devices. A LO is an area that is open to research that has a...
The study of qualitative chemical analysis for students of chemistry is addressed by means of lectures as well as experimental work in the lab. However, the number of lab tests to be performed is very large and with many experimental steps. Taking advantage of the easy access to mobile devices on the part of the students, it was proposed that through a mobile application it would be easier for them...
Women entrepreneurs' usage of mobile technology such a cellphone has been increasing intensely in Sub-Saharan Africa. However there is limited knowledge on the extent and precise usage of mobile phones by women entrepreneurs for accessing market information. Hence to address this gap, the goal of this paper is to investigate the usage of mobile technology for accessing market information by women...
Access to information is predicated on the access to a digital infrastructure. However, access to electricity and the Internet remain elusive for a significant percentage of the world's population, let alone a sustainable access in one’s local language, local context, and relating to local culture. This paper examines the issues of resource constraints, and proposes a framework to classify them. It...
This paper discusses the trends of technology in education and comparison between three types of technology: Augmented Reality (AR), Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) and Mobile Learning (ML). This paper aims to encourage educators and learners to incorporate the technologies in the teaching and learning process. The integration of these technologies in the teaching and learning process is able to...
In Malaysia, the main focus of Jabatan Kemajuan Orang Asli (JAKOA) is helping aboriginal people on various aspects in their lives. For example, education, accommodation, basic survival skills and other facilities for this group of people to adapt and survive in modern times of Malaysia [1]. However, are these efforts enough? The Mah-Meri people are one of the nineteen tribes of aboriginal people in...
With the development of new technologies for data mining and analyzing, many industries are using big data technologies to conduct development of the industry. In education, online resources serve big data analyzing. However, in an offline situation, homework is a key factor that reflecting education qualities. Under K-12 education circumstance, students subimit their handwritten homework through...
Educational videogames are a very effective tool in the learning process, especially for the current generation, known as the digital natives generation. Many studies have shown their benefits in different fields, using computers and mobile devices, among others. Nevertheless, we have not found in the literature any comparative research between these two platforms. Is one of the platforms more effective...
The transformations fostered by the fast technological development, together with the social demand for the integration of new technologies in educational contexts, cause the study of the factors that promote the actual use of a given technology to be an essential element for the guidance of the innovation process. This research work presents the results of a descriptive study on the attitude of future...
Mobile devices create learning opportunities to which you cannot remain indifferent. If you combine these capabilities to specific needs of students and teachers, you will be on the path towards academic success. It was in this context that Letrinhas arose, an information system aimed at improving students' reading literacy developed by the Polytechnic Institute of Tomar (IPT) in response to a challenge...
Over the last several years, many authors have studied the factors that promote adoption of m-learning among students, basing their studies, in most of cases, on well-known models of the acceptance of technology, like the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) and the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT). Their proposals include different m-learning adoption factors and extensions...
Augmented reality is changing the way its users see the world. Smart augmented-reality glasses, with high resolution Optical Head Mounted display, supplements views of the real-world using video, audio, or graphics projected in front of user's eye. The area of Smart Glasses and heads-up display devices is not a new one, however in the last few years, it has seen an extensive growth in various fields...
The global spread of Internet and mobile communications has been accompanied by a growing interest in how information and communication technologies (ICTs) can contribute to social and economic development. There are a considerable number of such examples in developing countries. For example, M-Pesa in Kenya allows workers in the cities to send money back to families living in the countryside using...
The Beauty of Geometry, a touch-operation-based Dynamic Geometry Software (DGS) we develop for mathematics education by Objective-C, is introduced. The paper starts with the main contents of the Beauty of Geometry, including Intelligent drawing, Dynamic geometry, Geometric transformations, Animation, Measurement and Sharing, then we talk about the features of the system from three aspects, and consider...
In recent years, with the development of mobile computing technology, mobile learning based on smart phone and other mobile terminal is coming. Learners can study with their mobile devices at anytime and anywhere, which breaks in time and space constraints of traditional learning. Learners can take full advantage of spare time in life to do autonomic learning. This paper has explore the concept and...
In the age of scientific development, people are becoming more and more dependent on mobile phones. The proposed mobile application is designed to reduce the manual work and ease out teaching and learning in academics. This method has been proposed in view of needs of both the faculty as well as the students of any college. Firstly, this application automatically mark the student attendance, stores...
