M-LEARNING SCENARIO
SHORT DESCRIPTION

ProSkola is a network of 58 language schools located in Sweden and Norway. The school is know for its efficient teaching methods supported by modern technology.

ProSkola decided to mobile phones as a tool for rehearsal for its students. After each lesson at school the student can download an application that will help him or her practice vocabulary and grammar and will carry out other excercises that follow the lesson.
The school decided to deploy an intergrated system based on Bluelemon technology. In the system, the teacher e-mails a Word document with the lesson content and the system automatically builds and publishes the necessary mobile applications.

The system was deployed to achieve didactic and marketing goals rather than to produce additional direct income. Therefore ProSkola provides various channels of content delivery: Blue SMS messages, Bluetooth and GPRS so that the students can choose the most convenient channel.

USAGE SCENARIO 1: BLUETOOTH

Agda owns a Motorola E2 mobile phone which is capable of receiving m-learning materials through a Bluetooth connection available in the classrooms.
She had to install install a special Java application (she only had to do this once). Now, before she leaves the classroom, she launches the application, activates the "Update" option and her phone downloads the rehearsal material. It's completly free. (see the technical background)

Agda spends about an hour in buses every day. She spends that time learning vocabulary and doing grammar exercises - and she doesn't have to carry her books or notes.

USAGE SCENARIO 2: GPRS

Johan has a Nokia 6100. It is not capable of using Bluetooth or receiving Blue SMS messages.
To use the rehearsal tool, Johan needs to visit a wap.proskola.se Web site on his phone, log in and download a Java application that has been created for him. He needs to cover the GPRS connection cost.

Johan likes to use these tools because of the interactivity they offer. The phones acts as a private tutor by asking questions and checking the answers. Johan likes this form of rehearsal more than staring at the pages of books or notebooks.

USAGE SCENARIO 3: BLUE SMS MESSAGES

Ingrid has a Samsung E310 mobile phone. It is not capable of downloading data through Bluetooth, but can receive Blue SMS Messages.
When Ingrid started her course, she installed a rehearsal application on her phone. She has sent a premium SMS message (to cover the cost of Blue SMS messages she will receive throught the course). Now, after each lesson she receives a special text message, "Blue SMS Message" which automatically launches the installed Java application and updates the rehearsal material.

Ingrid prefers traditional learning methods - textbooks and exercise books. She uses the m-learning tools to test her vocabulary and make sure that she did not miss anything when rehearsing from her notes.
