Project objectives MOBIlearn objectives Organisation of the work

The MOBIlearn project started on 1st July, 2002 and will be completed on 31st December, 2004.

The objectives of MOBIlearn are:

• The definition of theoretically-supported and empirically-validated models for:
  • Effective learning/teaching/tutoring in a mobile environment;
  • Instructional design and eLearning content development for mobile learning.
    
    
• The development of a reference mobile learning architecture that is attractive to key actors in Europe and beyond, and that supports:
  • Human interfaces adaptive to the mobile device in use and the nature (e.g. bandwidth, cost) of the ambient intelligence that is available in a given location;
  • Context-awareness tools for exploiting context and capturing learning experience;
  • Integration of mobile media delivery and learning content management systems;
  • Collaborative learning applications for mobile environments.
    
    
• The development of a business model and associated implementation strategies for successful EU-wide deployment of mobile learning, starting from:
  • A study of existing business models and market trends;
  • An appraisal of the external environment.
    
    
• Large-scale use of project results by all interested parties in Europe.

In order to achieve the objectives described above, the project work has been organised into workpackages (WPs) which follow the logical phases of the project's life cycle.

Below you can find the list of the 13 workpackages of the MOBIlearn workplan:

• WP1 - Management

• WP6 - Context awareness subsystem
• WP7 - Learning content management subsystem
• WP8 - Mobile media delivery subsystem
• WP9 - Collaborative learning subsystem
• WP10 - System design and integration
• WP11 - User trials
• WP12 - Research on business model and exploitation
• WP13 - Dissemination
