Development of a WAP-Based Mobile Learning Environment for Distance Education Development of a WAP-Based Mobile Learning Environment for Distance Education

Summary/Abstract: This paper presents design and implementation of a mobile learning system aimed for an educational environment. This system provides complete teaching resources, which can be accessed by the learners through the mobile. It focuses on the mobility of the learning practice, flexibility and emphasizes the interaction between the learner and learning content. System users are categorized into three categories: administrators, instructors and students. Different learning activities can be carried out throughout the system concerning tracing learning courses, engaging all practitioners in the learning process, providing versatile mobile learning management processes, offering necessary communication tools to allow the users to communicate with each other through forums, SMS and e-mails. Wireless Application Protocol (WAP) is adopted as a solution for the system platform providing satisfactory telecommunication services on mobile learning system. To support system maintainability and scalability, modular design has been devised. Integrating constituent modules provide a full-fledged mobile learning system.
