Mobile Learning Using Sms: a Mobile Business Application

Flexible eLearning strongly relies on student access to personal computers both on campus and from outside. Today the predominant mode of eLearning is "online"Web browsing using a personal computer. It is already predicted that in the near future the number of mobile communication devices (such as mobile phones and handheld computers) will exceed the number of personal computers. Mobility and context-aware services can be used successfully in the educational environment and researchers in the area have already reported numerous experiments with different technologies. We propose to experiment with a "blended" approach, which integrates the mobile and online learning environments. The outcomes of the model include the development of learners' decision-making skills and the improvement of their understanding of mobility and location-based services.
