“…The key attributes of the m-Learning system are spontaneity, personalization, informality, context-sensitivity, portability, ubiquity and pervasiveness (Lee & Chan, 2007). Also, the m-Learning system facilitates distributed education with the learning activities through a variety of tools which have appropriate pedagogical approaches to collaboration and social interaction (Yang, 2012). Learners can create and share their own knowledge through the use of interactive games, tools for brainstorming, quizzing, and the integration with online management system in classroom (Goh & Kinshuck, 2006;Iqbal, & Qureshi, 2012).…”

Mobile learning (m-Learning) is a type of a learning system that combines mobile, computer, and modern educational technologies to facilitate teaching and learning. Social network use Web 2.0 technology to communicate, share and searching information for the students. This paper presents the integration of m-Learning and social network design for supporting the sharing of knowledge. The m-Learning system was developed from IPTV (Suan Dusit Internet Broadcasting: SDIB) to mobile IPTV and extended to m-Learning systems. The prototype was designed by integrating m-Learning system (contents and communication tool) and social networks that support knowledge sharing of the learners. The prototype has been used for teaching and learning and students evaluated the system. The result found that the mLearning system was useful in helping learners to share knowledge and create social interaction.

Abstract-The research on 'Pedagogical potentials of IEEE 802.11 WLAN to Nigerian Universities-A case study of University of UYO' is an in depth study to evaluate the potentials of its implementation to the entire teaching and tutoring vertical in Nigerian universities. While conducting this research study, the campus did not have the facility of Wireless internet service. Researchers are to provide the WLAN-Wireless local area network service to support the communication protocol limiting to shorter distances within a definite range with aid of infrared signals and radio networks. For this study, data collection is made over two periods, i.e., first, at the time of launching WLAN in order to gain an overview of the academic performance of the students and in the second instance, after providing the training to use WLAN, at the end of the semester. This study is conducted over a period equivalent to one semester. The objective of this is to identify any improvements in the performance of the students and the teaching staff after the completion of the training. The key performance indicator 'Academic outcome / Performance of students and attitude of faculty' on wireless internet in the campus is captured through the study and relevant statistical tools and techniques are applied to the data. The ascent in the academic outcome of students and the performance ofthe faculty is evident for the benefit of WLAN technology. Orthodoxically, the course material is couriered to the students. After adapting to the information and communication technology, the study material is made available online so that students can access them over internet. Also, the universities made the study materials available over a secured portal. The education sector also has followed the suit. Instant messaging and use of electronic mails aid the students to clarify their concerns with the faculty. After adopting the information and communication technology, the study material is made available online so that students can access them over internet and can share with each other using online collaborative tools [6], [7]. Instant messaging and use of electronic mails aid the students to clarify their concerns with the faculty in normal classes as well as in new mode of blended learning [8]. Index Terms-InformationThe Internet, therefore, has been recognized to improve academic performance of students on campuses [9], [10]. The IEEE 802.11 protocols, through wireless local area networks (WLAN), will further change the landscape of campus pedagogical practices. Appropriate mix of devices in a wireless network has been postulated to facilitate enhanced pedagogy and learning experience [11], [12]. Not only that, the academic productivity of students is known to depend on, among other variables, available resources [13]- [15]. Wireless Internet is arguably among the best of these resources. However, specifically how the IEEE 802.11 protocols impact the traditional way of lecture delivery without access to the internet in the classrooms in Nigerian unive...
