Paper Abstract:
|
Today, technological trends in informatics and telecommunications are behind a new change in education service provision from e-learning to mobile learning (m-learning). Mobile devices provide users with opportunities to communicate and access information, learning content and services everywhere, at any time. However, the correct design of the courses and lecture modules, the preparation of self-study educational materials and the grading of students provide many challenges to the rapid uptake of m-learning. Some of them are considered in this paper. It provides initially a brief overview of research on m-learning, and introduces a concept of usage of tablet in the educational process. The paper presents an idea how to organize m-learning, and in particular, which learning styles are appropriate with a tablet. |
