Paper Abstract:
|
Distance Education System (DES) is commonly used to increase effectiveness of educational process.
Mobile devices imply additional changes in the way students interact as a society. Mobile learning (m-
Learning) offers solutions that address the shortcomings of the traditional classroom.
The mobile virtual blackboard is elaborated in this paper. It is a mobile communication service
integrated within our existing DES. It serves for consultations purposes and it is especially suitable for
acquiring small and exact pieces of knowledge that can be immediately used. In that way, it creates an
ideal environment for collaborative learning.
The feasibility of using mobile virtual blackboard within educational process was performed with
the survey done with the students at the last year of undergraduate studies. We found that functions of
the mobile virtual blackboard were effective in cooperative learning. The feedback from the students
proved that the virtual blackboard system was viable for use within any project based curriculum. |
