Learners can listen to music and read the synchronous lyrics using this mobile music playing application. The proposed system will make questions that correspond to lyrics for EFL (English as Foreign Language) learners studying. This approach focuses on retrieving verb-noun collocations and making appropriate questions automatically. BNC (British National Corpus) has been chosen to calculate mutual information to get the correct collocations, and the synset of Word Net has been used to make wrong candidates which people often make mistakes for using collocations. Therefore the learner can study anytime, anywhere by using mobile devices, proposed mobile application, lyrics reading and music listening.
学习者可以听音乐和阅读同步歌词使用这个移动音乐播放应用程序。该系统将提出与歌词相对应的问题，供英语学习者学习。这种方法的重点是自动检索动名词搭配并提出适当的问题。选择BNC (British National Corpus)计算互信息以获得正确的搭配，并使用Word网络的同义词集来生成错误的候选词，这是人们在使用搭配时经常犯的错误。因此，学习者可以随时随地通过使用移动设备、拟议的移动应用程序、阅读歌词和听音乐来学习。

This paper sets out to provide a preliminary guidance on developing mobile language learning applications, with consideration for using multimedia. A set of initial findings are presented from a small-scale pilot learner study, along with other considerations from findings in the literature. These preliminary guidelines could be further developed in later iterations to provide an overall framework for developing and evaluating other multimedia elements in mobile language learning applications and possibly also other mobile learning applications that use multimedia extensively (e.g. musical learning).

In this paper we present the overall evaluation of the Quantitative Evaluation Framework (QEF) approach which has been applied in an operational teaching environment for the last year. This environment includes the development of a serious game, supported by a web platform and extended to mobile platforms, which is being supervised by the research group GILT (Graphics, interaction & learning technologies) under the frame of an international project. The serious game that has been developed is called "Time Mesh". Time Mesh is a funded quasi experimental educational software project which is being developed under the frame of a quality evaluation environment, Quantitative Evaluation Framework (QEF) (Escudeiro Paula and Bidarra José, 2006), that measures system quality throughout its development life cycle. The quality evaluation process started with a careful planning phase. It has included the purpose of the evaluation, the timing of the evaluation and who should be conducting the evaluation process. Moderating the development of "Time Mesh" with QEF assures the quality of the final product.

This paper describes a ubiquitous learning log system called SCROLL (System for Capturing and Reminding of Ubiquitous Learning Log). The aim of SCROLL is to aid users to simply capture the learning logs they have learned, review and reflect their old learning logs, reuse the knowledge when in need, be reminded at right time at right place and be recommended others' learning logs properly. Both its functions and architecture are introduced in this paper.

In this paper we present a semester-long study on using smart phone devices in computer science engineering education. We developed Sortko, an Android smart phone application, which helps students in learning sorting algorithms, an important undergraduate computer science topic. The application consists of four main components - the module for interactive sorting, the scaffolding module, the motivational module and the graphical user interface module, each with a distinct role of helping students in learning sorting algorithms. Our research methodology included data collection in which we administered two surveys, collected exam and usage results. Analysis of the collected data shows our approach is an effective way of learning sorting algorithms.

Field activities and collaborative learning are prominent educational approaches. Various devices have been used to implement these approaches. For example, mobile devices have been excellently employed to facilitate outdoor learning, as desktops and laptops have been for indoor collaborative learning. But the use of laptops and desktops for group activities has some limitations like support for limited number of learners who can use a device at a time. Recently, interactive multi-touch tables with shareable interfaces and large displays have reached the market. We propose to integrate all these technologies in a common framework to provide a seamless learning environment providing assistance for learning both indoors and outdoors.

This paper presents the results of the first phase in a multi-phase study developing an educational fitness application on mobile devices to help combat the growing levels of obesity among youth age 11 to 17. This first phase studies demographic differences across age and gender with regards to physical activities, computer games and mobile technology usage in order to develop an adaptive mobile fitness application that requires physical movement by the user while maintaining interest and enjoyment levels. Results indicate significant differences in gender in social activities versus action oriented type games but little difference in types of fitness activities. Across age groups there were some significant differences in terms of their interest in games involving strategy, action and violence. Also of note was that youth in the range of 14-15 tended to view physical activities as more difficult versus those both older and younger than them for the ages we studied. Youth also differed significantly in the type of mobile facilities they used with those older than 13 tending to use G.P.S., music and video facilities much more than those aged 11 to 13. These results have been incorporated into an initial prototype fitness application that will be tested on subjects in the next study phase.

The Open University of Japan is a university by distance education with broadcasting via TV and radio. Recently, not only TV and radio but also Internet are being introduced experimentally. In order to keep pace with the situation and to reply the needs from students, we are developing the mobile video learning system.

This paper looks into the different ways in which a group of pre-service teachers used ICT in their classrooms and the resulting sense of gratification. The data collected was used to analyse what might have motivated or demotivated the pre-service teachers from using more ICT devices and applications in the classroom, given their experiences during the practicum period. The data collected showed that most of the pre-service teachers did not use highly varied forms of ICT in their classrooms. In fact, for about half of them, PowerPoint presentations and visualisers were about the only forms of ICT used although the ubiquitous computing infrastrucrure is available. The findings have implications for policy makers and teacher training institution to decide how to allocate ICT resources more effectively and what (additional) ICT training to put in place.

Identifying research trends is an integral part of the planning phase of academic research and can be a daunting task for those not familiar with the process. This paper proposes the use of the Milky Way search engine to assist novice students who are beginning to undertake research. Using data-processing and data-mining techniques with data from SciVerse Scopus, the Milky Way search engine can provide students with a way to investigate research trends and test trend hypothesis' in their field. We evaluated the use of the Milky Way search engine in the field of mobile learning to analyze research trends.
