MLEA: a solution for users of android in UTP Virtual

This paper describes a design of an educational platform for a mobile learning architecture, which is a state of the art topic in distance education. The product will allow users to interact in an efficient, flexible, and transparent fashion with a web-based education environment, in this case Module Object-Oriented Dynamic Learning Environment (Moodle), using Android mobile devices. In order to provide a strong and lasting architecture, the Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) methodology is used given that it allows easy software re-utilization as well as integration of heterogeneous services. The architecture is based on web services implemented with Representational State Transfer (REST), as it has been demonstrated to be lighter and less consuming than other protocols, for devices with limited resources such as mobile devices. Web services provide the communication means between the server side and the client side of the architecture, whereas agents are used to deliver the services itself. The authors propose the development of an environment that facilitates the integration of various educational resources to support m-learning. An important aspect of the proposal is the offering of a tool to provide customized alerts for students and teachers, enabling them to remain updated about activities taking place in the coursesThis paper describes a design of an educational platform for a mobile learning architecture, which is a state of the art topic in distance education.

Arquitectura para la creacion de ambientes moviles de recomendación, interaccion y alertas para usuarios de una plataforma de EaD

El desarrollo de la computación móvil y su aplicación en la educación, hizo surgir un nuevo enfoque de educación a distancia, denominado aprendizaje móvil (o m-learning), el cual facilita a los estudiantes el aprendizaje a cualquier momento y en cualquier lugar. Este trabajo presenta la propuesta de diseño de una arquitectura de apoyo al aprendizaje móvil, que facilite a los usuarios del Programa de la Universidad Virtual, de la Universidad Tecnológica de Panamá, interactuar de forma eficiente, flexible y transparente en un ambiente colaborativo y personalizable de recomendación, interacción y alertas, por medio de teléfonos celulares con Sistema Android (Google) incrustado. Para ello se hace uso de la metodología SOA (Service Oriented Architecture) que facilita la reutilización de módulos.El desarrollo de la computación móvil y su aplicación en la educación, hizo surgir un nuevo enfoque de educación a distancia, denominado aprendizaje móvil (o m-learning), el cual facilita a los estudiantes el aprendizaje a cualquier momento y en cualquier lugar.

This paper presents a proposal for the design of an architecture to support mobile learning that should allow users of the Online Education Environment of Technological University of Panama interact efficiently, flexibly and seamlessly in a collaborative environment, which can be customized for recommendations, interaction and alerts through cellphones based on Android. For this, SOA (Service Oriented Architecture) methodology is used given that it easies module reuse
