Facilitating Students" Learning through M-LMS for Tablet Device

 Abstract—Electronic learning management system (e-LMS) is widely used in the Higher-Education institutions to deliver and share learning contents among the students. However, most of the e-LMS are developed for offline or online desktops. The objective of the proposed mobile learning management system (m-LMS) is to provide the flexibility of accessing and managing course materials at anywhere and anytime, making learning even more widely available. The m-LMS is equipped with many functions to allow for various related multimedia documents such as text, image, audio, and video to be uploaded, edited, deleted, tagged, and searched among the university students. Experimental results obtained from surveys have shown that the m-LMS is able to provide better learning environment for the university learners, which lead to a deeper level of learning engagement.
