A Prompt-Based Annotation Approach to Conducting Mobile Learning Activities for Architecture Design Courses

In this study, a prompt-based annotation approach is proposed for developing mobile learning systems for architecture design courses. To evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed approach, an experiment was conducted by having 51 freshmen randomly assigned to an experimental group and a control group. The students in the experimental group adopted the mobile learning approach with prompt-based annotation strategy, while those in the control group learned with the conventional in-field instructions and annotations. From the experimental results, it was found that the proposed prompt-based annotation strategy not only promoted the students´ self-efficacy, but also improved their learning achievements.
