Abstract
Mobile phone based educational learning system has the basis of
Educational Technology Competency Standards for Teachers, tracing by demand of improving teachers’ educational technology and with the focus of making up knowledge and capacity building. Mobile Learning has become another very important complement to the traditional ways of learning after digital learning.
The development of the third generation mobile communication technology 3G provides a more adequate technical basis for mobile learning. This article describes the 3G based mobile learning, where mobile device is used for educational activities. The goal of this innovative method is to create flexible teaching solutions, which will enable the accessing of information with all kinds of devices, and to support learning in a variety of situations.
Introduction
Mobile technologies are developing rapidly, and the functionalities available on mobile devices grow more numerous and complex every day.
These technological advancements, coupled with the widespread availability and relatively low cost of mobile devices, represent a tremendous opportunity to leverage the power and ubiquity of mobile technologies to enhance learning and extend educational opportunities. In 3G systems, it can be realized between the mobile end-user data, audio, video, multimedia communications which makes anything anytime, anywhere "easy face to face" communication is possible. Students who are not in classroom can learn the teachers’ lectures, as long as opening mobile terminals, students will be able to carry visual communication with the teachers and enable teachers to guide their learning.
