Mobile Learning System

 
Future Work

 Although the users provided positive results that the system will improve communication, it is insufficient to conclude that the system improve communication between tutors and students . In addition, the survey showed that most of the SHAWCO K2 students have no access to mobile phones capable of running MXIT. We therefore, conclude that the system failed to improve communication  for the SHAWCO K2  Center Organization. However, this can give different results in  different situations.

 

Based on the results from the user evaluations and the lack of time and   resources, the following future work and recommendation may be drawn:

  • Both SMS and MXIT should be used to send messages.Since the current system uses MXIT to send messages; and that  most of the students at the K2 Center do not have MXIT mobile phones. It will be reasonable to use both the SMS and MXIT technologies to exchange messages. This will accommodate everyone with and without MXIT, GTalk, MSN, AIM and other chat services. MXIT mobile phone survey proved that most of the astudents have access to simple SMS mobile phones capable of sending and receiving tetxt messages.

  • The system should allow both  tutors and students to use the Moodle web interface to send messages. The current Moodle interface to send messages between tutors, teachers and students, allows tutors to send message(s) to user(s). It would be reasonable to customize Moodle mobile learning to allow students to send and read messages using the web interface. 

  •  Need a way to tag replies from tutors. The current MXIT Library does not allow the tagging of new incoming messages in order to associate the reply with a question. The current system uses tutor 's mobile number as a way to tag the message. The disadvantage of the usage of mobile number to tag messages is that there is no one tutor that can be sent two messages at the same time.  If one tutor can be sent two messages at the same time, it will be impossible to identify the replies that will be sent by a tutor. If more messages than tutors are sent to the system, the system will delegate all the jobs to all the tutors, thus cause the system to be overloaded especially when the tutors do not reply in time.   This feature will increase the response time of the questions posted by the student.  

  • There was a need for time to develop the system at the SHAWCO K2 Center . In the future, it would be reasonable to deploy the system at the center and  allow users to realistically use the system and  give relevant and reliable feed back.
