Android-Based Mobile Learning in Genetics Subject

Abstract

The use of ICT-based learning media can make learning more effective. One of the ICT-based learning media that can be used as a learning medium that is operated on a smartphone device is mobile learning (m-learning). M-learning is developed with a multimedia format that provides text, images, audio, and video. The ease of internet access through cellular phone devices such as blackberries, iPhones, PDAs, and smartphones makes it easier to make learning applications using an Android-based system. The results of developing learning media based on android mobile smartphones show that student’s motivation and learning outcomes increase. Learning media based on an android mobile smartphone is produced as a supplement to the Genetics course. Learning media based on an android mobile smartphone is a positive impact and a breakthrough from ICT advances to improve the quality of learning.
