Abstract
Within the recent years, mobile technologies have made major progress in its de-velopment. They have become an integral part of our daily life. Therefore, the big interest of using mobile technology in education process is comprehensible. A new technology was born called mobile learning (m-learning). The main benefits of this technology is sharing three important dimensions of learning resources namely learning contents, learning collaborators and learning services. In univer-sity courses, different forms of collaborative and peer learning are progressively used in order to assist students meet an assortment of learning outcomes. There-fore, the use of mobile technologies in education has become a crucial topic for research. Because mobile phone is the first choice of everyone to communicate, our research is focused on the use of smartphones as learning resources. In this paper, we propose an implementation of a new mobile application based peer-to-peer learning system named "EachOther" and a scenario for its usage applied on students of an IT course at the High School of Technology of Fez (ESTF). The aim of this work consists of the conception, the development and the implementa-tion of the mobile application based on Android system to support collaborative learning, by applying an object-oriented modeling language which is Unified Modeling Language (UML).
Highlights
Mobile technologies have emerged as facilitators in the learning process, affording new methods to access and use learning materials and defining the mobile learning model [1]
The term mobile learning designates the use of mobile applications installed on a mobile device that are used in the education process at universities and schools
Among the different forms of learning that exist, we have focused in this article on peer learning
Summary
Mobile technologies have emerged as facilitators in the learning process, affording new methods to access and use learning materials and defining the mobile learning model [1]. Peer learning has always been a part of students’ university experience This has meant students interacting informally with each other outside formal teaching iJIM ‒ Vol 14, No 7, 2020. E-learning emerged not so long ago and, due to its novelty, it incorporates the best methodological practices and modern educational technology. These technologies such as collaborative learning, peer learning, dynamic cognitive process are currently considered as the most beneficial and appropriate methods for e-learning. Different forms of collaborative and peer learning are progressively used in order to assist students meet an assortment of learning outcomes. The potential benefits of peer learning have long been recognized and are especially relevant today
