Abstract:
Mobile Learning have been emerging as a new research branch of learning, in which mobile devices are explored during the learning process. The development of these applications, however, is a non trivial task since it requires skills and knowledge of various domains (computational, pedagogical, etc.), along with technologies to support the process. This paper describes a case study at UTFPR, with the objective of integrate mobility, not only in terms learning through mobile devices, but also in terms of mobile participants and mobile administration. The case study focused on a generic and asynchronous computer architecture (PEDRO), based on a the Moodle-based adaptation. Our proposal allows the Learning Management System and mobile devices to work together in order to provide a complete set of instructional materials to students.
