Using a learning system in a mobile environment is not effective if barriers are not overcome in the interaction with targeted users. For that purpose all mobile services, including m-learning ones, demand special attention being paid to interaction with the user. While mobile device applications are becoming more powerful, their development process must utilize the concepts of universal access...

Background: According to the World Health Organization (WHO), parents need to be informed about Early Childhood Development (ECD). Different methods of parents’ education include group-based, face-to-face, book, booklet, web-based, technology-based, and mobile learning using laptops, tablets, and cell phones. Paying attention to caregivers' attitudes is the first step to their education. The ob...

Popularity of distance learning programs has increased in the recent years, with more students opting to study from the comfort of their home or workplace. The early implementation of distance learning programs involved the distribution of study materials to remote students by using of snail mails and organizing optional class room and test sessions at preferable locations. However, with advent...

mobile robot navigation is one of the basic problems in robotics. in this paper, a new approachis proposed for autonomous mobile robot navigation in an unknown environment. the proposedapproach is based on learning virtual parallel paths that propel the mobile robot toward the trackusing a multi-layer, feed-forward neural network. for training, a human operator navigates themobile robot in some...

Mobile Learning (M-Learning) is an emerging discipline in the area of education and educational technology. So researchers are trying to optimize and expanding its application in the field of education. The aim of this paper is to investigate the role of mobile devices and expert systems in disseminating and supporting the knowledge gained by intelligent tutors and to propose a system based on ...

Most personalized learning systems are designed for either personal computers (e-learning) or mobile devices (m-learning). Our research has resulted in a cloud-based adaptive learning system that incorporates mobile devices into a classroom setting. This system is fully integrated into the formative assessment process and, most importantly, coexists with the present e-learning environment. Unli...

In this paper, we introduce the idea of promoting language learning outside the classroom through mobile devices. We present Student Partner, an m-learning system designed specifically to promote collaboration among Chinese language learners, with capabilities including GPS, camera, messaging and recording. Some directions for future work are presented, and strengths and drawbacks of the mobile...

—Mobile learning through wireless enabled laptops (say, within a university campus) can make use of the learning management system that is already available through internet or intranet. Without restrictions within the four walls of computer labs or library, students can now access the learning resources anywhere in the campus where wireless access points or hotspots are located. We briefly inv...
