Abstract
Mobile devices such as notebooks and PDAs are very interesting tools for web-based teaching and distant teaching today. We have adapted Web-based remote laboratory environments to mobile devices like PDAs and smartphones to remotely control a Pioneer 3 AT mobile robot.
Highlights
Since the typical students of distant teaching universities are professionals, mobile learning will give them the opportunity to effectively use small amounts of free time
To provide our student with a mobile learning solution two web-based remote laboratory environments have been adapted to mobile devices like PDAs and smartphones
By the development of wireless communication networks like portable mobile phone networks (GSM, GPRS, EDGE, UMTS) and local wireless networks (WLAN), electronic teaching material can be accessed from any location
Summary
Since the typical students of distant teaching universities are professionals, mobile learning will give them the opportunity to effectively use small amounts of free time. Beyond the university based teaching a need for lifelong learning exists. Today acquired skills must constantly be extended and updated. In this context mobile learning can point out a rational way. To provide our student with a mobile learning solution two web-based remote laboratory environments have been adapted to mobile devices like PDAs and smartphones. By the development of wireless communication networks like portable mobile phone networks (GSM, GPRS, EDGE, UMTS) and local wireless networks (WLAN), electronic teaching material can be accessed from any location. Since the typical students of distant teaching universities are professionals, mobile learning will give them the opportunity to effectively use small amounts of spare time
