Promoting Mobile and Interactive Learning through the use of MMS Over Wireless LAN

Abstract
This paper aims o n introducing the new platform for mobile and interactive learning developed in Nanyang Technological University (NTU), which is targeted as an effective communication medium between the lecturer and students during lectures. The idea is to combine the adv antages of mobile computing and messaging service to bring an interactive learning experience into classes. For this purpose, we have developed a system that allows instant feedback on teaching using Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS) on the NTUâ„¢s campus -wide 802.11b Wireless LAN. In the overall picture, students and lecturers will be equipped with an MMS -capable device (which may be PDAs, Laptops, or Tablet PCs). During lectures, students can ask questions, response to questions or give immediate feedback on the lecture simply by composing an MMS message and sending it to the lecturer. The lecturer himself can choose to immediately respond to the comments so as to adjust to the learning needs of the students, or to delay his response so as not to disrupt th e flow of the lecture, and reply to the questions at the later stage. Using this technology, immediate assessment on courses can also be done. Interactive quizzes for example, can be carried out during lecture simply by having the lecturer sending out the question to students in MMS format. The studentsâ„¢ answers will be sent back to the lecturer and the average results can be calculated, tabulated and reviewed on the spot. The main advantage of this learning system is that MMS messaging is easily extensible to the mobile GSM networks, so students are not restricted to use it only on campus. Sending MMS messages on the Wireless LAN will be free to students on campus, and only at a low cost outside. This system is particularly beneficial in engineering educati on, since engineering students are generally tech -savvy, and therefore can easily adapt to this medium. This learning system will also encourage students to be more participative in the learning process, since usually students tend to be shy to speak up in large groups.
