A Case Study on Mobile Learning Implementation in Basic Education

Yong Liu, Jun Liu, Shengquan Yu, A Case Study on Mobile Learning Implementation in Basic Education. In: Huaibei Zhou (Ed.), 2008 International Conference on Computer Science and Software Engineering, , 5, 593-597, IEEE/IET Electronic Library , 2008.

Abstract:

Abstract—Recent years was seen an incremental amount of
mobile learning experiments for the purpose of implementing
mobile ICTs into mainstream education. However, the adoption
of mobile learning in basic education—primary and secondary
schools, is still disappointingly slow, rather than exponential.
This case study portrays a unique and novel education concept
derived from the Chinese mobile learning industry, in which
Noah Education Holding Co., Ltd (Noah) acts as a premier
provider of mobile learning services and devices. In China,
mobile learning has already formed a booming market. In 2008, 6
million educational electronic devices are predicted to be sold
which digital learning devices (DLDs) appear to be leading the
trend. Astonishingly, these devices are not mobile phones and the
vast majority of them can’t even connect to wireless networks.
However, they embrace a wide range of new technologies and are
widely accepted by students and teachers in particular. As a
result, the success of Noah challenges the popular understanding
of mobile learning and offers an alternative to implement mobile
ICTs into the basic education.
