Demo of mobile phones in the ICT BITES project

Welcome to this presentation about the use of mobile phones in a project for in-service teacher education in Tanzania.

In the presentation I show you how learning material can be accessed using a mobile phone. Some of the material is pre-loaded on the memory cards in the phones; in that case the phones are used as media players. Some of the material is downloaded through the mobile phone network.

The memory cards are preloaded with overviews of each course section/module (narrated slide shows), study guides ( text with a Java book reader). All text material is also available as voice (synthetic voice). Film clips downloaded from the Internet (YouTube:-). are also preloaded on the memory cards. Quizzes from the Moodle LMS used in the courses have been exported in a form possible to use in all mobile phones handling Java.

Additional quizzes can be downloaded to the phones using 3G or GPRS from the site http://ictbites.mobi Results from the quizzes are send by SMS to the teacher of the course.
