Development of a Web-based Microlecture Mobile Learning System

Abstract

The presence of multimedia and distance education is expected to have a great impact on the improvement of students’ knowledge. Microlecture mobile learning (mm-learning) is a multimedia learning technique that can be accessed via mobile devices such as laptops, smartphones, and tablet computers. Developing mm-learning system that can be accessed anywhere and anytime is aimed to increase the knowledge, add new insights, and provide a different learning experience to the students without being limited by time and place. Mm-learning development design is based on the concepts of microlecture and mobile learning. Dick & Carey instructional design model with ADDIE stages (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation and Evaluation) is adopted in development a system prototype. The prototype is then evaluated in an computing polytechnic by way of questionnaires and exam scores. The overall students’ perception scores from using the prototype is 4.28, whereas that from the traditional learning is 3.29 (out of 5). Further, the overall results of students’ test scores significantly differ with a value of sig. equals 0,000.
