Mobile learning and education





ABSTRACT

As a new research area, mobile learning has become an emerging tool for teaching. Mobile Learning theory and practical application research has significance on mobile learning and learning society. The thesis discusses background of the mobile learning, theoretical foundation and practical applications. According to various theoretical foundations, mobile devices, corresponding learning resources, learning style and other factors, the mode of mobile learning can be divided into four categories: regularity of forgetting based refresher learning, Pleasant Education based Game Learning, discussion based cooperative learning and search engines based inquiry learning. The four learning mode above have been put into practice in education and can provide some reference for carrying out mobile learning in the future. It has an invaluable effect for the promotion of lifelong learning and enhancement of the quality of the people (Amir, 2005).

Mobile learning and Education

Background

Mobile learning is considered to be the fourth wave of learning with mainframe computer, desktop computers and the Internet representing the first second and third waves. The term mobile refers to learning that may take place in multiple locations, across multiple times, and addressing multiple content areas using either static or portable equipments such as wireless laptops, PDAS, smart phones, or personal media players. A variety of educational usages reported, such as using short message for language teaching, learning-aids for certain key concepts, vocabulary and practice questions, and many informal problem-solving or experiential learning situation. Therefore, with the development of technology, the educational uses of mobile devices are from formal learning to certain blind spots of learning. In addition, formal learning modes play an important role in guiding effective implementation of learning. According to a variety of mobile devices, relevant learning resources, the age characteristics and learning styles of students, M-learning mode can be divided into four categories. The four learning modes have been put into practice in education. How to facilitate teaching effectively in a most proper mode is the purpose of the thesis (Cui, 2001, 44) (Andreasen, 2007).

Essentially, e-learning defined as a tool that uses the computer network technology, primarily via a number of electronic media, which includes all Internet and number of many others, to deliver learning materials to users, and utilizes different web-based communication, along with different collaboration like transferring knowledge and training to support users' active learning without the ...
