Today usually every student owns a reasonably powerful mobile device that allows to be integrated in scenarios. One of the drawbacks of the fast evolution of reasonably powerful devices, is the
heterogeneity of that these kind of devices us ually bring with them. This paper provides an overview how rich mobile learning scenarios can be implemented platform independent on the basis of HTML5 and JavaScript. The paper presents a mobile learning application based on the principles of Situated Lea
rning entirely developed in HTML5. The paper also presents the results of tests performed with the application which were aimed at finding out the difference in performance users perceived when compared with the native desktop version of the
application and the added value that mobility introduces in learning activities.
This paper describes a system which allows platform independent access to quizzes of the popular learning platform Moodle. The main focus is on the software architecture which is implemented on the base of platform independent technology like Web Services, HTML5 and JavaScript. Another aspect is the user interface which was developed with the goal to run on a broad range of mobile devices from small mobile phones up to large tablets.
The WWW is the killerapp of the internet. In recent years an enormously increasing number of Web Applications, as a means of human-to-computer interaction, showed up, that allows a visitor of a certain website to interact with the website. Additionally the approach of Web Services was introduced in order to allow computer-to-computer Interaction on the basis of standardized protocols. This paper shows how the gap between Web Applications and Web Services can be closed by making Web Applications available to computer-to-computer interaction by a systematic approach.
In recent years a new approach for the dynamic usage of computational power, memory and other
resources comes into play: the Cloud Computing paradigm. This new approach needs to be concerned with
respect to IT Service Management since cloud based infrastructures have to be managed differently from a
usual infrastructure. This paper discusses, based on the IT Infrastructure Library (ITIL), as the de-facto
standard for IT Service Management, what kind of processes needs to be concerned especially if a certain
service should be deployed in the cloud.
In recent years, the number of mobile devices that are available for learning scenarios has increased a lot. Different learning settings are usually supported by mobile devices. On the one hand we find mobile devices in informal learning settings, and on the other hand in formal learning settings like a usual lecture. This paper motivates the question whether the usage of mobile devices in a usual lecture is something that is wanted by the students. A first case study is provided with an platform independent prototype that gives an initial indication for preferred usage.
