Abstract
The growth of wireless networking and the maturing of online learning have created an environment in which students are mobile and leaning is no longer tethered to the classroom or the laboratory. We have developed a mobile learning platform, which supports multi-media courses delivery and has applied in Network Education College of Shanghai Jiaotong University. Based on the platform, this paper mainly proposes an assistant system to solve the learning status monitoring issue which is becoming a challenge of learning effect control in mobile learning. This assistant system can enable teachers to monitor the students’ mobile phone screen synchronously thus know the learning state of the students, and it also supports real time interaction with the students by instant messages. Meanwhile, the students can view the status of other online peers, interact with each other and ask for remote assistance by sharing their own screens to those willing to help.
