M-learning using PDA’s and our supporting LOMS

Abstract

We have extended an existing e-blended learning system with an extra layer, to offer a more flexible and more effective learning process to both mobile and non-mobile students. It is possible to consult learning materials, to share and to put supporting communication applications at their disposal where, when and with each device the student likes. All knowledge objects have been stored in a knowledge warehouse and will be managed by our LOMS (a knowledge object management system). Our LOMS has been extended, having now a portal for PDA access by the students.
