Mobilim: Mobile learning management framework system for engineering education

Abstract

This paper introduces the implementation of a Mobile Learning Management System (Mobilim) designed for m-learning environments. The Mobilim system has been developed to provide educational contents through the Internet using mobile phones for engineering educators and students. System features have been evaluated by instructors and students. The system evaluation shows that Mobilim is a useful m-learning environment. Initial results of the system are encouraging for the further development of the system. In addition, the use of open software for the development of this system makes it cost-effective. Mobilim pages can be accessed by mobile phones that have the XHTML browser feature.
