Open Source Implementation ofM-Iearning for Primary Schools in Malaysia

This project named "Open Source Implementation of M-learning for Primary
Schools in Malaysia". It focuses on learning using mobile devices by attempting UPSR
(Ujian Pencapaian sekolah Rendah) Mathematics' quizzes for year 5 and 6 primary
schools' students which were posted by the teachers, plus the ability to track the
students' quizzes progress regularly. Students tend to avoid doing academic exercises
because of the problem on the weight of the exercise books, as well as the limited time
for both students and teachers to monitor the academic progress. This project solved the
problems by implementing a learning environment using small and portable mobile
devices as well as the implementation of automated mobile graph on the system itself
for the purpose of progress tracking. Completed system were tested by the selected
target users (primary school students) where the result showed that the students who use
this system perform well in the test conducted (75 % of the group scored 80% to I 00% ),
compared to the one who used traditional learning approach (50% of the group scored
80% to I 00% ). As a conclusion, this project had created a new exciting learning
environment in Malaysia as well as being accepted based on the users' response.
