• Introduction / PHEA Group IV.

• “Access to Internet services is no longer limited to laptop computers”

• Some of the services that may be accessed from mobile devices are the ones provided by LMS and CMS

• Integrating Mobile LMS

• State of the art and related work- The Moodle for Mobiles project (MFM) by professor Don Hinckelman - Mobile Learning Engine (MLE)

developed under proprietary license

• Glocalisation of MOODLE Software for mobile LMS

• focus on learning objects• scaling down of images• separate CSS styles• configure MOODLE blocks ( message pad, course

glossary, school calendar etc) into a quick access folder

• SYSTEM OVERVIEWLet us remark that the information that the server supplies to Mobile Viewers is the very same that would appear in the Desktop View. - Mobile View could be useful to access specific information and to do learning activities that do not require large amounts of data entries from the mobile device- Basic view is for editing… glocalisation of MOODLE is an effect for student use. Direct course building via the mobile view will therefore be almost impossible.

• CONCLUSIONS AND FURTHER WORKThis project delivers an operational integrated web-

based audio library and online mobile-learning environment.

The adoption of the platform into classroom use is anticipated on Technology Integration Programme Model.

The web is not enough It is certain that this will lead to a whole field of

experimentation and research on real classrooms, considering that there already exists a wide base of enabled terminals.
