Mobile Application Technology

Mobile technology plays significant role in current education trend for children. For
every child who growing up nowadays, mobile technologies such as mobile phones and
laptop create a bridge over the educational gap that teachers left behind, the way the
children have become more independent to learn things for the future. The difficulty of
bridging the technology and life has been one of the major factors for children to catch
up with current lifestyle. The current study of industry shows that rising demand for IT
workers going unmet by the educational system. This phenomenon derived from the fact
that the field of IT changes rapidly while Malaysia is still ranked low based on the IT
literacy rate. Early exposure of the latest trends of mobile technology is needed to
inculcate the IT lifestyle in Malaysia as well as to increase the number of IT literate
citizens. This project aims to develop a mobile application that educates children the
latest trend of mobile technology. The target research for the project focuses on building
a rich mobile multimedia content that bridges young minds with the world of mobile
technology. Tool that are used to develop the prototype are Apple Xcode with Apple
iOS Software Development Kit and The New Ipad with the combination of Waterfall
and Iterative software development life cycle (SDLC). The prototype result will be a
mobile application made for iPad with two modules focusing on the mobile technology
education and Windows Phone specifically. By releasing the application to public soon,
hopefully it can be a great kick-start for the future young technologist.
