Design, Development and Implementation of Mobile Applications to Support the Educational Process in the Greek Secondary Education System

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is the design, development and presentation of two applications that are created in order to be used for supporting the students’ learning in the Greek secondary education environment. More specifically, we present the structure and the functions of two applications under the names “Aepp_App” and “CS_App”. The applications are intended to be used by teachers and students during a lesson as well as outside the classroom settings, with the use of android mobile devices. We present the tools that have been used to develop the mobile applications and the applications’ use in the educational process. Additionally, we present the feedback received by teachers, to whom the applications were presented, who seem to like the idea of using game applications for mobile devices in order to enhance their students’ interest.
