Mobile and personalized learning system for computer science students

Abstract

The era of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) allows people to learn without any limits “anywhere and anytime”. Mobile learning is considered as new and interesting form of learning due to the high spread and development of mobile technologies. In E-learning, the educational content is delivered through electronic technologies such as internet (mobility of learning content). Whereas, in M-learning, the mobility covers learning content, learners, and learning process. So, The M -learning is known as learning using mobile devices: smartphones, tablet computer ... etc. However, the mobile learning systems have some challenges or difficulties in term of the design, development and the technology usability. In this paper we develop a mobile system that enhances the learning process of the students of computer science. Moreover, our system provides several adaptation strategies to meet the needs of heterogeneous learners. The results of the tested system (on a group of second year license students) show the improvement in learning achievement of students and the big influence of our Mobile learning system on the degree of understanding of the courses
