Wireless course management system

Published:18 March 2005Publication History

ABSTRACT

Wireless devices, such as smart phones and PDAs, are increasing in popularity due to the advantage of enhanced mobility and availability. In spite of the high increase in the availability of mobile devices, most of the wireless applications are in such areas as enterprise support, military, or gaming. Unfortunately, in the field of education, where online teaching and Web services are well accepted and adopted, wireless access to student records, course content, course registration, and other wireless Web services still is not available. This paper describes the analysis, design, architecture, and experimental development of a Wireless Course Management System that provides a wireless access to course information content.
