Abstract

While there are many educational apps for traditionally taught subjects such as math and science, more specialized curriculum has largely been left unexplored in terms of mLearning. Film studies is one such subject, an academic discipline that deals with the theoretical, historical and critical underpinnings of film. This project explores what it means to create a mobile application to teach basic approaches to film interpretation. Benefits of mLearning include increased delivery options for multimedia, context-based learning support and the prospects of more fulfilling learning experiences (Medipour et al., 2013). In addition, learning film on mobile supports learning on the go and has further implications such as multimedia language learning and audio video usage. By providing direction for a prototype, implementation and evaluation techniques, the chapter explores the ways in which an introductory module for film studies can be integrated into a mobile format to render film theory more relevant and accessible.
