Abstract

This paper presents the design and implementation of an m-Learning web portal that is ubiquitous and has multiple intelligent agents. The system is able to adjust the m-Learning content based on the progress of the participants. Unlike many current mobile devices such as the iPod, in which only downloading is enabled, the system is able to not only download the content to the devices, but also upload data such as learning results, answers to quizzes, etc. back to the remote databases. It provides a two-way interactive learning experience. In addition, the system enables study anywhere, at any time without requiring network connections.

The research also focuses on teacher collaboration and video-on-demand content creation with handheld devices. The access control agent has the ability to verify different group of users according to the Bell-LaPadula model to enhance the system security.

The m-Learning and m-Training modules, together with resources, events, standard of learning (SOL)'s and assessments, construct a one-point interface for teachers to access on the web. This system has been tested and is being used by Virginia Department of Education with monthly traffic of over 30,000 hits.
