Mobile learning: Technological challenges on multi-channel e-learning services

As a result of the big expansion of Internet most learning institutions supply learning based services through the Internet. Currently we are facing a new evolution with the new generation of mobile network. This will result in more complex types of joint distribution channels and multiplication of terminals and this provide a wide array of new opportunities, challenges, and arenas in the field of e-learning. Today?s basis requirement on ?Just in time learning? (JiT) and ?Learning on Demand? (LoD) can be easier realized with multi-channel e- learning services. The thesis will focus on challenges of developing of multi-channel service development in which all of the content is located at the same node. This paper will give an overview of multi-channel services, with emphasis on the use of these services in the field of learning. Products, technology, applications, and research of current interest will be presented. Also an application of multi-channel services and its technology will be researched. Furthermore this researcher is going to develop a prototype which will illustrate the challenges or weaknesses in multi-channel services.
