Abstract :
This paper presents a collaborative mobile learning system: Mobile Virtual Campus (MVC) powered by the loction-based dynamic grouping algorithm. The MVC system has been developed to provide an innovative and interactive platform for online mobile learners by utilizing the location awareness and other built-in sensory compoments in mobile devices. On the platform, the mobile learners can learn collaboratively and interactively either at a distance or face-to-face in the mobile learning environment.
