Sharing of learning material on mobile devices through bluetooth technology

Abstract

Education institutions are faced with the challenges of introducing new technology-enhanced learning services and utilize emerging technologies to enhance the efficiency of the learning process. Mobile learning provides the ability for users to learn anytime and anywhere using handheld devices with direct access to learning material. In developing countries, internet subscription is still expensive, which makes mobile learning as the most suitable bridge to access learning materials without much additional cost to be connected with the learning materials. In this paper, a new mobile learning system which aids teachers to transfer learning material files to students' mobile devices through Bluetooth technology is developed.
