Abstract
Large classrooms, whether on school grounds or online, have long suffered from a lack of interactivity. Many online classes simply provide recorded instructor lectures, which only reinforces the negative effects of passive non-participatory learning. The E-Learning Lab of Shanghai Jiaotong University developed a cutting-edge mobile learning system that can deliver live broadcasts of real-time classroom teaching or training to learners with mobile devices. Their system allows learners to customize means of content-reception, based on when and where they tune into the broadcast. The system also supports short text-messaging and instant polls.Through these venues, learners can interact with the instructor and class mates in real time. This paper describes this system in detail, and also report results from a test implementation of the system with two blended classrooms of more than 1000 learners. Copyright © 2008 IEEE.
