Abstract

The importance of the modern technologies in education is continuously growing. Recently widely discussed field is the one of mobile learning (or m-learning) where different mobile devices are used for educational purposes. This paper describes a system called Mobile ELDIT that is under development at our university, which is a mobile version of an existing language learning platform (ELDIT). While ELDIT can be accessed from any desktop PC having an internet connection, the mobile system can be accessed from PDAs and offers any-time any-where access to the learning base of ELDIT. It means that both online and offline access can be provided to the users. A prototype of m-ELDIT is already being used by some learners as an additional tool for the preparation for the bilingualism exam, but also just for studying the Italian or German languages. The goal of this paper is to share design principles and the practical experience collected from the first experiments with the prototype.
