Abstract:

Web-based services mobile learning can enable collaborative learning and access to different information sources in actual problem-solving situations. The PDA's are now designed to be smaller and sleeker and are popular due to its portability and facility for wireless connection. Handheld computers can become an integral part of the learning activities. But due to the very small screen, limited memory capacity and a large diversity of mobile devices, a handheld seems to obstruct a good learning experience. Handling of learning materials is a challenge. Experimentation with learning path scenarios and based on the e-mindmap concept is set forward here.
