ICT in Developing Communities

Mobile learning management systems are very important for training purpose. But considering the present scenario, the learners are equipped with a number of mobile devices that run by different operating systems with diverse device features. Therefore, developing a mobile application for different platforms is a cumbersome task if appropriate tools and techniques are not practiced. There are three categories of mobile application namely native, web based and hybrid. For mobile learning system, hybrid is an appropriate choice. In order to avoid re-implementation of the same hybrid application for different platform separately, several tools are proposed for example: PhoneGap, Adobe Air, Sencha Touch and QT, each with their own strength. With proper use of the strength of individual framework or the combination of frameworks, more compatible and more stable, cross-platform mobile learning application specifically for quizzes and assignments can be developed.
