Temporal Navigation in a Session in a Mobile Distance Learning System

Abstract:

Typical mobile distance learning system allows students to download and play the video of lecture, which lacks synchronous capability. Although a few synchronous mobile e-learning systems enable students to experience the video and presentation materials of a lecture in real time and real-time interaction with the lecturer, they still have the problem of not allowing students to navigate and re-experience the lecture session including video and slides with annotation. Thus, we present a mobile distance learning system that enables students to join the ongoing lecture, watch video and annotated slides, interacts with the lecturer with text in real-time as well as to store the lecture session on their mobile device and play them later. During the play of a lecture session, a student can navigate the session in terms of time and re-experience the video, slides with annotation, and text-based interaction among the lecturer and students.
