Designing the Transition into the Mobile Arena for Enriched User Experience

The rapid developments registered in the mobile arena impacted strongly upon the learning sector, bringing forth new technologies, resources and strategies. The purpose of this article is to present a series of W3C recommendations in conjunction with the mobile standards in order to improve the user experience of the Web on mobile devices. The authors aim to illustrate the way mobile learning standards can be used in teaching and learning by identifying the best practices for creating mobilefriendly content and applications, enabling easy access to device descriptions, setting up test suites for increased interoperability of mobile browsers, and exploring ways to use the Web on mobile devices to bridge the digital divide. This article aims to provide a development framework for the MOBNET project that “Carol I” National Defence University in Bucharest has developed in partnership with Advanced Technology Systems, the Research Institute for Artificial Intelligence of the Romanian Academy and two other private companies.
