E-learning is an innovative approach for delivering electronically mediated, well-designed, learner-centred interactive learning environments by utilizing internet and digital technologies with respect to instructional design principles. This paper presents the application of Software Development techniques in the development of a Mobile Based E-learning system that facilitates learning in a University environment. The developed application presents a system where a student after registration, has access to various functions that can improve the process of learning. Web pages were developed to serve as the user interface to the MLS and provide all the services needed for an E-learning portal including assessment and provision of feedback to learners. A portal exists for lecturers to upload learning contents and students’ examination results. The online portal uses Apache HTTP server as its web server, MySQL for relational database management and PHP as the scripting language to serve as a communication gateway between the back end and the users. The system was tested and evaluated with satisfactory results. This work, if adopted in schools to aid conventional learning, is expected to immensely improve the learning process and performance of students.
Mobile technologies have increasingly become pervasive in everyday life over the past few decades. As a result of their affordability and wide availability, mobile devices have become commonly used by several people. Efforts are being made by researchers and institutions to provide infrastructure, content, and resources related to the integration of mobile devices into learning environments are worthy of note. These have led to the provision of more learner motivation, better interaction between learners and teachers, thus leading to an improved educational experience. This book chapter emphasizes on the benefits of mobile learning and also presents a case study of the development of a mobile learning system that facilitates interactive learning in a University environment. The system provides for the student, mobile access to various functions that can improve the process of learning including assessment and provision of feedback to learners. The system was tested and evaluated with satisfactory results.
