Abstract :
The main goal of this project is to optimize the teaching/learning process by the proper use of mobile devices. To meet that goal, we are developing a new learning platform that will integrate existing applications into others specifically designed. Our purpose is to develop that platform based on the latest and most advanced communication means and information resources available which may allow universal access to the opportunities that distance education affords. So this is about a project which, resting on communicational possibilities offered by ubiquitously distributed networks (wired or wireless), will provide access to potential educators and students irrespective of their geographical location or the type of devices used (PCs, Notebooks, Tablet PCs, Pocket PCs and Smart Phones). This project provides: 1) A simple and effective interface capable of providing access to NICT-based distance learning services; 2) A platform that can be adapted to any kind of network irrespective of its physical structure or access speed.
