The "Mobile Learning Engine" (MLE) gives freedom to learn
in anyplace at anytime, just using a mobile phone as a medium
of education. It makes it possible to use every kind of waiting-time
for learning, no matter where you are. It transfers computer-aided
and multimedia based learning to a mobile environment, using
a server on the Internet. The technical solutions exploit the
pocket-PC power of Smartphones, the new and coming generation
of mobile phones. The "MLE" communicates with the learning platform
through HTTP and XML, making it possible to use existing learning
management systems as a mobile learning platform.
Although developed for a medical topic, the "MLE" can be applied
to any specific theme. Learning objects can be easily created
for nearly every kind of learning content. The application provides
a wide range of functions such as a multimedia forum, hypermedia
systems and learning communities.
The "Mobile Learning Engine" shows the progression of mobile-learning
technology and its potential. |
