M-Learning Campus Course Development Tool

The objective of M-Learning is to integrate technology with education in order to enhance the effectiveness of students' traditional learning process. The main purpose of M-Learning is to create a flexible learning environment for students where the implementation of just-in-time learning is applied here. Education is the key element to an economic success in any nation. Thus the computer and internet become essential tools in education which provides opportunities for widening participation in to access the Internet. A system is targeting to introduce the new way of learning environment to the students as a learning tool. In Chapter 3, the author will discuss about the methodology used; waterfall model, architecture of the system and tools used in developing the system. The system prototype consists of five modules; announcement module, courses module, grades modules, assignments module and schedule module which will be discussed in Chapter 4. The system evaluation is done by conducting a survey and the result analysis is presented based on Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) concept. As in conclusion, the scope of this project has been achieved and should provides new experience of learning style and environment

WLAN Location Sharing through a Privacy Observant Architecture

In the last few years, WLAN has seen immense growth and it will continue this trend due to the fact that it provides convenient connectivity as well as high speed links. Furthermore, the infrastructure already exists in most public places and is cheap to extend. These advantages, together with the fact that WLAN covers a large area and is not restricted to line of sight, have led to developing many WLAN localization techniques and applications based on them. In this paper we present a novel calibration-free localization technique using the existing WLAN infrastructure that enables conference participants to determine their location without the need of a centralized system. The evaluation results illustrate the superiority of our technique compared to existing methods. In addition, we present a privacy observant architecture to share location information. We handle both the location of people and the resources in the infrastructure as services, which can be easily discovered and used. An important design issue for us was to avoid tracking people and giving the users control over who they share their location information with and under which conditions
