由于叙利亚的战争局势，几所私立大学不得不完全关闭校园，搬到首都大马士革境内更安全的地方。这一巨大的进步使这些大学的教育进程得以继续。然而，在新的地方，即使是通勤和分发课程材料这样的小任务也仍然具有挑战性。为了解决第二个问题，我们想到了利用“云计算”技术来存储这些材料。拥有电脑的学生可以下载课程并上传报告。然而，对于希望使用移动设备的学生来说，这并没有起到预期的作用。为此，我们决定用“移动学习”技术扩展系统，以支持更广泛的设备。
As a result of the war situation in Syria, several private universities had to completely close their campuses and move into safer places inside the capital city Damascus. This huge step made it possible to keep the educational process going on at these universities. However, in the new places even small tasks like commuting and distributing the course materials were still challenging. To address the second issue, we thought of utilizing “Cloud-Computing” technology to store these materials. Students possessing computers were able to download lectures and upload reports. However, this did not work as expected with the students wishing to use their mobile devices. For this reason, we decided to expand the system with “Mobile-Learning” technology to support a wider range of devices.
