Abstract
For the new educational models, it is essential to include teaching strategies that allow students to customize their learning based on their competencies, skills, and preferences, as well as strategies that support individual monitoring of student learning. However, the implementation of these strategies in teaching is complex for professors, and it gets complicated, as the number of students in the class-room increases. In this work, the design and development of a mobile learning platform are presented, which provides the professor and student with multiple services for the learning monitoring and customization based on learning styles, context information, and mobile learning objects. Our platform is composed of three main components: (1) A mobile learning object generator system, (2) A learning object repository, and (3) A student-oriented mobile application. The in-tegration of these three components allows and facilitates the professor the im-plementation of various strategies for monitoring and customization of learning systematically. We carried out a usability assessment of the learning object gener-ator system through a field study with five research professors. According to the obtained results, the learning object generator system presents a good acceptance, satisfaction, and applicability from the professors' perspective.
Highlights
The technological progress related to telecommunications and mobile devices gave rise to a new teaching model known as m-learning [1]
SiGOAM and MLOR were designed based on the Model-View-Controller (MVC), which is a pattern for web applications development [32]
This paper presented the analysis, design, and development of a mobile learning platform aimed at learning monitoring and customizing of university students through mobile learning objects (MLOs)
Summary
The technological progress related to telecommunications and mobile devices gave rise to a new teaching model known as m-learning [1]. In the new educational models, learning customization and monitoring are considered essential in the teaching-learning processes since both allow to have a studentcentered education, promoting the learning performance [4], [5]. Learning monitoring refers to any procedure that offers feedback and information about the progress of student learning, guiding the student to make their self-assessment or reflection of the learning process. The purpose of the learning monitoring is to guide students, offer guidance, correct errors, and help them overcome difficulties during the learning process, as well as control the process followed by the students [6]
