Mobile Learning Content Apps Development Course For Mobile Learning Association of Malaysia

OMalleyet al (2003) said that mobile learning is any sort of learning that happens when the learner is

not at a fixed, predetermined location, or learning that happens when the learner takes advantage of

learning opportunities offered by mobile technologies.

Geddes (2004) defined mobile learning as the acquisition of any knowledge and skill through using

mobile technology, anywhere anytime that results in an alteration in behavior.

From wiki said, a mobile application (or app or mobile app) is a software application designed to run on

smartphones, tablet computers and other mobile devices. They are usually available through application

distribution platforms, which began appearing in 2008 and are typically operated by the owner of the

mobile operating system, such as the Apple App Store, Google Play, Windows Phone Store, and

BlackBerry App World. Some apps are free, while others must be bought. Usually, they are downloaded

from the platform to a target device, such as an iPhone, BlackBerry, Android phone or Windows Phone,

but sometimes they can be downloaded to laptops or desktops. For apps with a price, generally a

percentage, 20-30%, goes to the distribution provider (such as iTunes), and the rest goes to the

producer of the app.The same app can therefore cost the average Smartphone user a diffent price

depending on whether they use iPhone, Android, or BlackBerry 10 devices.

The term "app" is a shortening of the term "software application". It has become very popular and in

2010 was listed as "Word of the Year" by the American Dialect Society. In 2009, technology columnist

David Pogue said that newer smartphones could be nicknamed "app phones" to distinguish them from

earlier less-sophisticated smartphones.

To take the definitions one step further, some have attempted to classify different types of mobile

learningbased on the type of technology used, type of application used, or even the learning theoriesthat are used to support a particular approach to training methods.

While the academics are debating the definition of mobile learning, one thing is clear - mobile learning is

not just e-learning on a smaller screen.

Mobile learning offers a device-in-your-hand experience which supports peer-to-peer learning (or

simply, collaboration) well. As e-learning evolves beyond the self-paced, solo learner experience, to

include discussion forums/wikis/virtual mentor or coaching and many other collaboration tools; it may

be tempting to push mobile learning on an accelerated path, by skipping content for self-paced learning

and leap-froggingstraight into collaboration.

Mobile Learning App Using jQuery Mobile

jQuery Mobile is a touch-friendly user interface framework based on jQuery that works across all

popular phones, tablet, e-reader, and desktop platforms. Built with accessibility and universal access in

mind, we follow progressive enhancement and responsive web design (RWD) principles. HTML5

Markup-driven configuration makes it easy to learn, but a powerful API makes it easy to deeply

customize the library.


2/3

jQuery mobile framework takes the "write less, do more" mantra to the next level: Instead of writing

unique apps for each mobile device or OS, the jQuery mobile framework allows you to design a single

highly-branded web site or application that will work on all popular smartphone, tablet, and desktop

platforms.

Hands-on Training Content For Members

This introduction course will be simplified for lectures which mean there is no emphasis in theory and no

basic or deep knowledge needed. Participant will use easy web server and simple editor. Some template

is provided for easy development.

Participants should bring her own laptop and sample lectures note so that we can developing real

mobile learning contentwith features as describe in course content below:

First Saturday

1. Introduction to Mobile Web Application2. Basic HTML5

a. HTML tagb. Linkc. Paragraphd. Image/Picture

4. Deploy For Worlda. Using Web Hosting (IF Apllicable)


3/3

Second day course will developing apps more interactive. As web apps can be transform to native apps,

participant would try this hybrid technology to deploy web app as native app that can be install to

mobile device. This hybrid technology applicable to all major mobile device OSs including iOS (for

iPhone and iPad), Android and Windows, but in this hands-on, we will using Android as no restriction

such as certificate and developer account in iOS and Windows.
