The document discusses the evolution of mobile learning platforms, highlighting the shift from traditional laptops to mobile devices for accessing LMS and CMS services. It reviews the integration of mobile capabilities in Moodle and the unique challenges, such as glocalization and limited functionalities for course building on mobile. The project aims to develop a web-based audio library and mobile learning environment, anticipating further experimentation and research in real classroom settings.

2. • Introduction / PHEA Group IV.
• “Access to Internet services is no longer limited
to laptop computers”
• Some of the services that may be accessed from
mobile devices are the ones provided by LMS
and CMS
• Integrating Mobile LMS

3. • State of the art and related work
- The Moodle for Mobiles project (MFM)
by professor Don Hinckelman
- Mobile Learning Engine (MLE)
developed under proprietary license

4. • Glocalisation of MOODLE Software for mobile
LMS
• focus on learning objects
• scaling down of images
• separate CSS styles
• configure MOODLE blocks ( message pad, course
glossary, school calendar etc) into a quick access
folder

6. • SYSTEM OVERVIEW
Let us remark that the information that the server
supplies to Mobile Viewers is the very same that
would appear in the Desktop View.
- Mobile View could be useful to access specific
information and to do learning activities that do not
require large amounts of data entries from the
mobile device
- Basic view is for editing… glocalisation of MOODLE
is an effect for student use. Direct course building via
the mobile view will therefore be almost impossible.

7. • CONCLUSIONS AND FURTHER WORK
This project delivers an operational integrated web-
based audio library and online mobile-learning
environment.
The adoption of the platform into classroom use is
anticipated on Technology Integration Programme
Model.
The web is not enough
It is certain that this will lead to a whole field of
experimentation and research on real classrooms,
considering that there already exists a wide base of
enabled terminals.
