Abstract |
: |
A successful mobile aid tool would prove valuable in the design of learning experiences for both the student and the teacher. For the students, it motivates and challenges them through a hands-on interactive process, and gives them the needed time, software, and learning experiences environment to construct their own mental image of the information they are exposed to. Such a tool would allow the students to assess their mental model representation both inside and outside the class and keep modifying it if needed, until it proves to be the right model ( as per Bloom's Taxonomy of Learning Domains). For the teacher, it helps them to create a successful design of the course and is valuable both for initial design as well as for iterative improvements of the initial design. For both the student and the teacher, it offers multi-interactions, and receiving immediate feedback. In this paper we introduce a mobile aid tool for designing Active Learning experiences that fulfills these attributes. This mobile tool is composed of a course information data bank, questions bank, interactive Smart-Quiz system with automated self assessment technique that offers instant feedback and a communication system. It is applied in a college level course that introduces undergraduates to Engineering Design process, and is delivered in Active Learning format. J2ME is used to develop this mobile tool and it is targeting Java ready mobile wireless sets that are highly common among the students nowadays. A study was conducted for two semesters, using qualitative and quantitative methodologies for data collection and interpretation to measure the effect of this tool on students' attitudes and performance. Two control groups were selected each semester - one is using this tool and the other isn't - to the experiment. The study showed positive effects of this tool on both attitudes and performance in favor of the first group. |
