Abstract :
This paper reports on how a mobile learning system entitled AMPLe (across mobile platform learning system) was integrated in an elementary school setting to support outdoor learning scenarios. Ninety-six students from 3 classes of NH Elementary school participated in this study. The results reveal that the students were overwhelmingly positive with uses of AMPLe with various mobile devices. However, PDA was the most favorite device. In addition to AMPLe, the teachers played an important role to conduct the mobile learning activities. Significantly a 3-phase strategy was analyzed and induced from the collected data.
