Abstract
Abstract This paper presents a proposal for a mobile learning application called MySchool, which will be added to the e-learning platform Moodle and which contribute together with it to increase the efficiency of training on the platform. In the first part, analyzing the specialized studies, it was found that the main deficiencies reported in the case of e-learning platforms come mainly from the way the platform was designed and especially from the design of the training model when the beneficiaries and users are students in the pre-university course. The paper proposes a mobile learning training system to be added to an existing e-learning platform in schools in Constanta County, Romania. The chosen platform was the Moodle platform which does not make such an application available to users. The main features of the Moodle platform are further analyzed together with the didactic aspects of the application of the platform in the online training process of students. At the same time, the advantages of students who use mobile applications are presented, as well as the disadvantages of m-learning applications. For the design of the proposed system, the ALDIE software design model was chosen together with the rapid prototyping method. The functional and non-functional requirements of the MySchool system and its three-level architecture have been established (Fig. 7). We also designed a learning network in a classroom with 25 students for the proposed system. The conclusions of the paper highlight the usefulness and need for such a system attached to an e-learning platform.
Highlights
New ITC technologies (Eadtu, 2015), (Eadtu, 2016), (Eadtu, 2017), related to the development of the Internet have revolutionized pedagogical methods leading to the emergence of e-learning
Romanian education is trying to distance itself from the classic teaching style, today's students being accessible and attractive modern teaching ways of working and focusing attention
Analysis of the main didactic aspects of the application of the Moodle platform Analyzing the Moodle platform in the teaching process I found the following: - Moodle provides a training framework in the teaching-learning-assessment process; - By using the Moodle platform, the time and space barriers between teacher and student are eliminated, ensuring the optimization of the learning process; - Carrying out the educational activities through the Moodle platform represents a vision regarding the completion of the didactic approach that will inevitably contribute to the increase of the performances; - The Moodle platform provides teachers with a set of teaching tools and resources that make it possible to teach-learn both online and offline
Summary
New ITC technologies (Eadtu, 2015), (Eadtu, 2016), (Eadtu, 2017), related to the development of the Internet have revolutionized pedagogical methods leading to the emergence of e-learning. By the generic name of e-learning platforms (EC, 2019), a wide range of products are designated that support the learning process in different ways using electronic support. The advantages of e-learning systems are multiple such as: accessibility and mobility, flexibility (adapting the individual pace of students), adaptability (depending on the type of information transmitted, and by the student), the use of various dynamic technologies, low costs, variety, organization by subjects, not by age, various pedagogical methods. E-learning platforms were initially developed for different purposes. Some platforms are CMS (Content Management System) only with a focus on teaching or testing, others are LMS (Learning Management System) only, others are LCMS (Learning Content Management System)
