Collaborative learning assistant for Android

The quantitative and qualitative increase in mobile devices that reach the average user opens more and more topics for research. In education, m-Learning has been an interesting topic for several years. However, the smartphones, that today display an unprecedented mix of computing capability, connectivity and interactivity, leverage new possibilities for m-Learning applications. Such applications can seamlessly connect remote individuals, but can also provide access to various resources, such as media, or interactive quizzes. We focus on collaborative learning and peer-review learning, two closely related concepts, promoting methods such as sharing educational resources, organizing study sessions and giving feedback to fellow students. We propose a client-server system to provide all these features and we study it under performance considerations such as scalability and mobility.
