A Design of Collaborative Learning System Based on PDA for Improving Performance of Real-Time Learning
Abstract
In conventional classroom, when a student’s progress is stymied by the lack of direct contact with his or her instructor and peers, mobile devices offer new forms of communication that break down the traditional barriers to education. Personal digital assistant (PDA) has been a popular choice – more so than cell phone – for implementing m-learning in the last few years. However, how to design a collaborative learning system based on PDA to create an appropriate interface for content presentation on small screen in order to improve performance of learning is the major objective of this study. The authors used principles of human-computer interaction (HCI) and utilized task analysis, literature review, experimental design, small-screen design to construct a collaborative learning system based on PDA, and addressed potential issues with appearance in order to design a friendly PDA interface whose performance was analyzed with a post-experiment user satisfaction questionnaire. The results of this experiment show that the principles of Interface design based on HCI used in design of the learning system would help students to improve performance of learning and become capable, self-reliant, self-motivated and independent. The findings also demonstrate that variations among students’ preference or content are associated with differences in the display presentation mode in which the landscape interface is recommended for use.
