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 services 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. |
