Mobile learning for an online coastal zone management module

Roshan T Ramessur, Associate Professor
Mohammad I Santally, Lecturer

Abstract
A prototype application for an online coastal zone management module has been described that consists of three main components - the web-based interface, the mobile access interface and the adaptation mechanism that is used to provide just-in-time tailored content according to students’ individual preferences. From a pedagogical perspective, this implies a complete re-engineering of courseware in CZM to meet the constraints imposed by an m-learning environment. Alteration of any of the component would cause an ecological imbalance in the system and the blending of the pedagogical approach in CZM to support mobile learners adds more flexibility to the learning process.
