Content Semantics

Mobile learning is becoming increasingly popular. Educational web sites can be used as supporting learning tools for students who wish to supplement their knowledge without restrictions of time and place. The continuously increasing demand for enhanced remote and mobile services, as well as the difficulty in easily incorporating current learning services for mobile users, renders essential the adaptation of educational material for these requirements. The objective of this work is to present and evaluate a methodology for producing content semantics from learning material. The proposed approach results in recommending links, which are relevant to the mobile users’ interests, by exploiting the recorded usage of an educational portal and the semantics of the learning content. The implementation results reveal enhanced capabilities in mobile learners’ web experience and usability.

Mobile Learning System

This chapter has the aim to point out an important functionality of a ubiquitous mobile system, and more specifically, its application in the learning domain. This functionality is the possibility to access the learning material from mobile devices, like PDAs (personal digital assistants) during their off-line periods and the technique to approach it, called hoarding. The chapter starts with the overview of a concrete mobile learning system—Mobile ELDIT, so as to give a clear idea of when and how this problem appears and why it is important to pay attention to it. Later, a description of the development approaches for both general and concrete solutions are discussed, followed by more detailed description of the important hoarding steps.

The use of mobile technology to support teaching and learning in schools, has extended technology learning tools in schools across different socio economic divides. There have been various studies throughout the world which reflect the improvement of such technology in schools. In this chapter we reflect on a series of studies conducted in developing countries with focus on Jantjies and Joy (2012, 2013, 2014, 2015) studies. The studies were conducted in schools with the objective of providing teachers and learners with multilingual mobile learning content specifically designed to support teaching and learning in their science and mathematics classrooms and beyond. This chapter provides a culmination of lessons learnt from all studies reflecting on the journey of mobile learning in schools across South Africa.

ABSTRACTMadrasah Tsanawiyah (MTS) is a level of basic education in formal education in Indonesia which is held within 3 years. School students or madrasah students are generally 13-15 years old. Madrasah schools are a transition period from childhood to the world of adolescence. The period of MTS is a critical period for student education because at this time the transition from childhood. At present education is very much influenced by technological developments that provide a variety of conveniences so that it influences students' thinking, so schools must start working hard and pay attention to the education programs and methods used in transferring knowledge from teaching staff to students. The use of electronic circuits allows learning to be carried out in one place or in different places through distance learning. E-learning can be carried out anytime anywhere, but e-learning still has drawbacks, which requires users to deal with electronic equipment that is not flexible to move places. Mobile phones today are not only used as communication tools but can be used in finding information. One of the current operating systems that can access information very quickly and most in demand by the public today is Android. Android is an open source-based system that allows sources code (source code) on android to be read by development to customize various application features according to their usage needs. Mobile learning can be used as an alternative to solving problems in the field of education, especially the problem of equitable access to educational information, the quality of learning content in the form of learning material in the form of text or images accompanied by examples of teacher improvement questions to make or deliver learning materials and managing teaching andlearningactivities.

Mobile learning increases both flexibility and self-determined learning, often combined with a high degree of context awareness. Flexibility and context awareness includes time and location, as well as the actual individual situation. To achieve such goals, mobile learning is not just a stand-alone and independent learning environment, but is instead embedded in a broader e-learning environment. This is true for the didactic and the pedagogic concepts and the learning (content) management system, as well as the overall software architecture. XML has been proven to be adequate and a powerful technology to store content in a presentation independent manner. By defining an additional attribute inside the XML tags, it is possible to classify the content. At the same time, this will help the author generate learning material for different devices in an efficient and structured way. Also, the content can be used in different formats (XHTML, PDF, etc.) as well as with different technologies (browser, applet, MIDlet, Ajax, etc.). In order to optimise the content presentation on different mobile devices, the content has to be adapted. A necessary precondition for the adaptation process is the identification of the connected device. The classification of the identified mobile device simplifies the mapping between device capabilities and content. The ICAT (Identification, Classification, Adaptation and Tagged XML) framework addresses these issues. The proposed design patterns will help authors to generated content for such a system.

<p>This research aims to improve students' analysis and synthesis abilities on electronic component learning material using the Research and Development (R&amp;D) method. Data were obtained from tenth-grade students of the Industrial Electronic Engineering Department in Bandung Regency and analyzed using the pre-test and Post-test with normalized gain. The results showed that during the stages of limited and product operational testing, the developed product tends to improve students' analysis and synthesis abilities in basic electronic learning material with electronic component sub-materials. Therefore, Android-Based Interactive Mobile Learning has succeeded in creating new and effective ways for students to learn.</p>
