Benefits Of Mobile Learning

Abstract

In today’s world, education is possible at any time and at any place by modern technologies. Thus, students have the chance to learn educational materials on their own and not limiting only in classrooms by using portable gadgets such as mobile devices or tablets. With the advances in technology and communication there still has been a slow emergence of incorporating mobile learning in the Philippines. Some teachers have not adopted the concept of mobile learning into their lectures making the traditional approach prevalent as a teaching method thus makes learning and disseminating subject and course materials too slow. In this project, the study aims to present the benefits of mobile learning (m-learning) in the Philippines and

Technology is being created and updated all the time. And as schools are dwindling resources, mobile technology may improve the educational system and reengage students to learn. Mobile learning offers a lot of benefits that enable it to break educational system wide open and engage students in new ways thus making educational experiences more meaningful if schools can effectively utilize structured, integrated approach for implementing this new technology. Mobile learning as described by (McQuiggan S., Kosturko L., McQuiggan S., Sabourin J. 2015) is the experience afforded by the evolution of educational technologies. It is anywhere, anytime learning enabled by instant, on-demand access to a personalized world filled with the tools and resources we prefer for creating our own knowledge, satisfying our curiosities, collaborating with others, and cultivating experiences. Mobile learning implies adapting and building upon the latest advances of technology, redefining the responsibilities of teachers and students, and blurring the lines between formal and informal

- Investigate the current state of learning and teaching methods in the Philippines.

- Study design features that a mobile mangement learning application should follow.

- Study tools that will be used to design and develop the application in the android operating system.

1.3 Scope and Limitations of the Research

This research will develop a mobile learning management system that is compatible with Android platforms. The mobile learning management system offers course material uploads, forums, and email option.

1.4 Significance of the Research

A study was conducted and found that regardless of the subject matter, students working individually or in groups tend to learn more of what is taught and retain it longer than when the same content is presented in other instructional formats. That is, learning can be even more effective when learners can converse with each other and share inputs (Ryu H., Parsons D., Innovative Mobile Learning Techniques and Technologies, 2009, p. 26). In this regard, this mobile learning management system which offers course materials uploads, forums, and email will effectively supplement educational learning lectures.
