The goal is to create learning modules that conform to the IMS Learning Design specifications as well as provide these modules using mobile delivery mechanisms (via the Internet, for example). A small prototype will be built using the modules designed. The learning modules will be designed with context in mind, drawing from local knowledge concepts to ensure that the content is relevant for their learning needs. With the pervasiveness of Internet connectivity, there is the ability for learners in remote communities to have access to learning materials remotely. As this is a recent development, the majority of the learning tools available are in their infancy of development. There is a need to provide learning materials that are |
