mLearning can be viewed as any form of teaching or studying that happens when the user is

interacting through a mobile device such as PDAs, mobile phones, laptops.

To improve current method of teaching, mobile learning (mLearning) using portable computing
devices (such as laptops, tablet PCs, PDAs, and smart phones) with wireless networks enables
mobility and mobile learning gives instructors and learners increased flexibility and new
opportunities for interaction. This report details the research made into the extension of Moodle
LMS which is MLE-Moodle that use J2ME. Also discussed are how the project was designed
and a detailed description of the implementation which includes class descriptions and
operations, steps taken in packaging the application, deployment of the package and how the
application was tested. The report concludes with an evaluation of the project specification and
whether the goals were met.

Figure 1: mLearning Architecture

The aim of this project paper is to introduce the mLearning environment to enhance conventional
method of teaching. By referring to the architecture above, student will use their java enables
mobile phones installed with MLE-Moodle client to connect to the Moodle platform server
reside at free web hosting, http://www.110mb.com. The messaging server will be the proxy
server used by the MLE to connect to the Internet with limited bandwidth and inexpensive
download costs, since the mobile client receives only the necessary data. Next, we will discuss
further more on implementing MLE-Moodle during classes.
 Figure 2: mLearning Implemention in Classes Architecture

From above architecture show us the implementation of MLE-Moodle during classes. The
testing phase would be a choice activity where is start from the lecturer/instructor asks a question
and specifies a choice of multiple responses. Then it will be send directly to Moodle platform
server to be access by student using MLE-Moodle. It can be useful as a quick poll to stimulate
student thinking about the related topic to be taught and to allow the class to vote an answer for a
problem to be solved. After submitting, the result in percentage will be display on
lecturer/instructor laptop while in the mean time will be show on the white screen using LCD
projector so that lecturer/instructor can have a conversation for further action. By doing this, it
can improve the student and lecturer interactions where everyone will be participate.
Basically, the result shows that the main objective is achieved by construct the project in
implementing mLearning by using MLE-Moodle as a tool. The second objective to enhance
existing learning environment with mLearning be achieved when the project is completed.
Mainly, the instructor can implement new method of teaching by using pooling system to the
question given and also by using multimedia content to make class teaching to be more
interesting.
