Development of Android-based Learning Media in Improving the Quality of Senior High School Students' Learning

Learning methods become one of the factors that are very influential, especially for students' academic achievement. Nowadays students are required to be more active in expanding the knowledge they not only get from teaching and learning activities in school, but they can also add knowledge such as from a learning application that they can learn by themselves to hone their understanding of subjects. In the subject of Natural Science, often the methods or methods used by teachers in teaching are still many that are difficult to understand by students, the existing learning media less interest of students to study harder, and students sometimes consider easy subjects Natural Sciences. The aims of this research is make learning media in senior high school visually displayed in the form of applications that can be accessed with Android-based phones is expected to improve the quality of learning, especially in science subjects

Developing Mobile Collaborative Learning Applications for Mobile Users

With the rapid growth wireless communication technologies, the number of mobile applications have been developing. One of them is approached for mobile learning area since it is unique in its own way and offers learning opportunities anywhere and anytime. Mobile collaborative learning (MCL) is a small group learning application based on mobile devices. MCL is a new exciting research area in which students can earn knowledge about a topic and concept via communicating with others by a mobile device. This paper introduces describes the theoretical and technical foundations for designing and developing an effective MCL environment. Also, the paper describes a new approach for building the MCL application towards mobile technology. The prototype will be constructed using Android operating system with suggesting necessary infrastructure and middleware. Finally, the paper include the result of a usability test to find valuable hidden facilitating issues to efficiently access and obtain the class contents in collaborative learning environment
