Study of English Education Using Mobile Computing

ELPCO(电子学习专业能力研究中心)与日本Unisys合作开发了自己的LMS(学习管理系统)。LMS通过使用移动电话、iPod或其他便携设备实现电子学习和移动学习，而综合使用各种新兴技术可以促进自主学习，以激励学生并产生成功的结果。手机可以充当基于网络的英语学习的小型计算机，并在网络上提供练习、测试、教程和社交学习。我们的研究表明，通过融合新技术可以实现更理想的教与学环境。由于移动计算的进步，学习者现在可以随时随地就任何主题进行学习。

ELPCO (Research Center for e-Learning Professional Competency) has developed its own LMS (learning management system) in collaboration with Japan Unisys. The LMS enables e-learning and m-learning through the use of mobile phones, iPod or other portable devices, while the integration of using a variety of emerging technologies fosters autonomous learning for motivating students and producing successful outcomes. A cell phone can function as a small computer for network-based English learning, and provide drills, tests, tutorials, and social learning on the web. Our study indicated that a more ideal teaching and learning environment could be achieved by blending new technologies. Learners can now study anytime, anywhere, and on any topic, due to the advancement of mobile computing.
