Abstract(s)
Mobile learning introduces the idea of learning from virtually anywhere, regardless
of the in-motion learner. Mobile learning can provide access to different kinds of
learning materials, promote communication between learners and foster collaborative
learning. Although it is still a very young concept, many people will use it in the
following years and learning using a mobile device will increasingly blend into our
everyday lives.
In this thesis is described the design and construction of a mobile learning system
capable of delivering multimedia contents to the learner. This system is called
CiVUS (Content-independent Versatile Ubiquitous System).
This solution promotes communication between learners and their teachers by encouraging
learners to share self-made multimedia contents.
A background study was made to evaluate the impact that mobile technologies can
have now and in the future, in a learning perspective. Advantages and drawbacks will be
addressed and examples of similar applications will be mentioned. The research made
provides a good know-how starting point for investigators interested in this subject.
The reader of this dissertation will obtain a good notion of what mobile learning is
and what it represents for the future of learning. Also, it is expected that the reader
perceives the benefits that the CiVUS system introduces and recognizes the purpose
of building such a system.
