Abstract :
During the last years mobile phones provide a ubiquitous platform; most of mobile phones have the ability to communicate over Bluetooth in ad hoc manner. It provides a great opportunity to develop m-learning applications. However, m-learning applications developed so far, usually see mobile phones as simple terminals, and they simply add it to old e-learning applications developed. The main challenge is that there is no suitable middleware supporting m-learning activities on mobile phones. This paper, proposes a middleware that supports RMI to make the development of mobile phone learning easier. Our proposed system is flexible, and optimized for the specific needs of mobile phones.
