“…It was then proposed that the Malaysian government needs to consider alternative ways to bridge the digital divide between schools by using much affordable technologies like mobile phones (Mohamad and Woollard, 2009). Another study by Mahamad, Ibrahim and M Taib (2010) reported the implementation of mobile learning in teaching mathematics for primary school students in Malaysia. It was found that mobile phones can be useful in learning mathematics since most students are familiar with mobile phone usage for various communication purposes.…”

This study examined the teachers' perceptions on the implementation of mobile learning via mobile phone at schools. The sample for this study comprised thirty eight teachers who were teaching Information Technology (IT) subjects from various primary schools in Penang, Malaysia. A quantitative survey was administered to the respondents whereby results indicated that the adoption of mobile learning via mobile phone at schools was not perceived well among respondents. Moreover, respondents also were quite skeptical about future of mobile learning should it be implemented at their schools. The article concludes with emerging concerns which may have implications for future studies, specifically on whether or not mobile phone can effectively be adopted as teaching and learning tools for Malaysian mainstream schooling.

Learning processes and learning mechanisms are constantly evolving. The traditional classroom boards are replaced by Internet technologies, while the old handwritten notes are progressing to electronic notes. Through this evolution offered by new technologies, such as Web 2.0 and mobile and ubiquitous computing, learning agents need to adjust to this new reality. Distance, electronic, and mobile learning offer methods, technologies, and content, which decrease the limitations of traditional learning. Mobile learning is an extension of distance education, supported by mobile devices (e.g., smart-phones or tablets). It is an emerging learning model and process, which requires new forms of teaching, learning, contents, and dynamics between actors. This paper proposes a system architecture that supports distance and mobile learning. This architecture considers four layers, supporting professors and students activities, and learning and evaluation processes through innovative and intuitive user interfaces. The system is supported by several technologies including context and location awareness, pervasiveness, ubiquity, and intelligent agents. It demonstrates how recent technologies can interact together to improve distant and mobile learning.

Mathematics is a basic subject in primary and secondary schools. Early exposure to mathematics is very important since it will affect the student perception towards this subject for their entire life. Therefore, a program called 'Mini Hari Matematik' was conducted to expose the basic mathematics concept through some games which fit the knowledge of Standard four and five students. A questionnaire regarding student perception towards this subject was distributed before and after the program. From the analysis, the program has positively changed the student's perception towards mathematics.
