Mobile Information Systems and Mobile Learning

Abstract

The development of new devices for mobile communication has constantly influenced the development of mobile information and communication services.. These numerous technical developments raise the question of new applications and application areas. It is important for the acceptance of new technologies, that new applications create additional values, use the advantages of basic technologies and are adapted to the needs of the user. This paper investigates example mobile information systems for the Greek peninsula Peloponnesus, the "Pergamon Museum" and the Berlin museum of modern art "Berlinische Galerie". This work has been jointly developed as part of an interdisciplinary project by the departments of Applied Computer Sciences and Museum Science at the FHTW Berlin. The second part of the article describes the usage and added value of integrating mobile information systems into an educational environment by using podcast and mobile devices for mobile learning.
