TELEMODE – A Proposal towards Technology Enhanced Learning, Engineered with MObile DEvices

Today, mobile devices are widely used than ever before for communication, education, entertainment, research collaboration and social interaction. Schools, higher educational institutions and companies are constantly evolving in offering innovative educational services to its users. Mobile devices are overtaking the old fashioned desktop computers by providing flexible and easy access to information independent of time and place. The learning world has been using mobile devices intensively for quite some time for various day-to-day activities. Developers, instructional designers and instructors are still tied to the old world of desktop computers for software and application development. At present, designing applications for mobile application involves the developers and designers use desktop/laptop computers. Then they run emulation software to detect their code's behavior in small screens. The proposed research aims to investigate the various methodologies and framework that can be incorporated in the mobile devices empowering the device to perform as an effective development environment. The future developers/ instructors will have the freedom to use their mobile device as developmental platform allowing them to develop learning materials from anywhere, anyplace, anytime. The main area of focus would be in developing a framework that will allow non-programmers (like instructors) to develop their learning contents using their mobile devices.
