Paper Abstract:
|
The American University in Cairo (AUC) is planning to move to its new campus site which will feature blanketed 100%
wireless one-of-a-kind educational M-learning (Mobile Learning) pervasive Dome. The wireless Dome is expected to
provide new opportunities for improving both the teaching and learning processes at AUC. Sustained connections over
time, within the Dome, will intensify students Learning Process. Mobile Content can-and must be- planed before the
move to the new campus. This mobile educational content will be accessed from within the Dome through iPods, MP3
players, i-Mate PDAs, Cell phones, and Smart Wireless Devices. WiFi and WiMax technologies currently exist for
providing an effective mobile access for M-Leaning with wireless broadband. Enhanced course management systems
such as WebCT will still be around in the new campus with more interactive E-Learning features added. But AUC will
experience a slight Shift from E-learning to M-learning as a result of the new wireless Dome. Consequently, AUC will
experience a novel blend of M-Learning and E-Learning. To answer the question: What is the right blend? |
