Design And Implementation Of Android Mobile Learning Platform

Nowadays, with the rapid development of mobile computing technology, mobile learning, a brand new distance learning model, arises at the historic moment. As a new research field, learners could acquire knowledge they wanted anytime and anywhere and really control their learning progress based on its advantage. Mobile learning platform, one of important influence factors for mobile learning, is still at exploratory stage now, with incomplete standards or model in theoretical aspect and lack of guidance mobile learning theory, copying design patterns of desktop software and ignorance of futures of mobile devices in technological aspect.Android mobile platform, based upon a modified version of Linux kernel, is the first real open-source and completed mobile platform made for mobile devices by Google. Android provide powerful support for the design and development of mobile learning platform with its open nature and other amazing futures. Thus, the selection of Android as the development platform of mobile learning has a wide application prospect in the future.The goal of this study is to design and implement a mobile learning platform based on Android, which includes putting forward some methods and strategies for the design of mobile learning platform by the analysis of the futures, application patterns and mobile learning design of mobile learning in theoretical aspect, and constructing software model, designing and implement a mobile learning platform based on Android according to the above methods and strategies in technological aspect. This paper includes the following aspects:A brief analysis of relevant theories of mobile learning, which includes the theoretical basis, implementation technique and mobile learning design, and related technologies of mobile platform and Android-based solution, provides theories and technologies for the requirements analysis and technology implementation.Expatiated the requirement analyses of mobile learning and system design according to the theories of mobile learning, investigation and analysis, and existing learning platform. And then analyze and describe the architecture and basic functions by building use case model based on the above analysis result.Designed the architecture, framework, data communication of this platform, and determined course study, video study, content, learning tools and support, learning social network as the main function modules using object-oriented system design method. And then described the design of server and client in detail. Developed a mobile learning platform based on Android according to the design program. Realizes the course study, content push, blog, video download based on multi-thread downloading and broken-point continuingly-transferring, Instant Message (IM), Location Based Service (LBS) with emphasis, and solves the key issues and processing flow of each module...
