Abstract
It has been acknowledged that the mobile learning concept has extended numerous opportunities for teachers as well as students, as it makes way for an active learning atmosphere anywhere and anytime. Mobile learning technology can be resourcefully improvised by extending the cloud technology into it. This study is an attempt to analyze the impact of mobile cloud computing on learning competencies of engineering students. The main intention is to experiment whether mobile learning using cloud technology has an impact on student’s performance by investigating the influence of this innovative teaching technique on course outcomes. The results illustrated that use of cloud based mobile learning in studying an engineering subject is rewarding and does has an encouraging impact on learning competencies of students. The results distinctively indicate that cloud based mobile learning can be effectively used for learning engineering subjects that results in superior attainment of course outcomes.
Highlights
There is a great tendency for the engineering educational institutions to adapt new methods of learning along with the traditional methods
This study investigates the impact of using cloud based mobile learning used to teach the Engineering subject namely System Modeling and Simulation of the undergraduate course at Mangalore Institute of Technology and Engineering, Moodbidri, Karnataka, India
The results indicated that smart phones can be successfully used to teach and learn engineering subjects in an efficient manner, even after the class hours
Summary
There is a great tendency for the engineering educational institutions to adapt new methods of learning along with the traditional methods. It is evident that existing traditional learning methods are not satisfying the demands and requirements of industries These methods tend to make the educational growth stagnant. According to [7], Mobile Cloud Computing is defined as follows: Mobile cloud computing is a system in which both the data processing and data storage are performed outside the mobile equipment. Since mobile cloud computing is a new technology, it is associated with a number of challenges These challenges are associated with resources, network and security. In [9] the authors have elaborated a number of challenges faced by Mobile cloud These challenges include limited computing power and battery of mobile devices, network problems such as latency and bandwidth and data security
