Generation Z are unable to live without their phones.

Current real-time communication tools allow students to exchange ideas in a manner that more closely approximates the face-to-face experience.

Mobile phones are increasingly used to facilitate learning.

This comes with the ability to take and share notes, access learning materials easily and other possibilities.

Classes with access to mobile devices achieve HIGHER performances. ~ itslearning.net.

1. Flexibile TimingThe timing of lessons are very flexible and real time assesments are possible. This enables methodologies such as JIT (just-in-time) learning and assisted learning.

2. Flexible PlaceThe place of learning is more flexible than E-Learning because students do not need to be in front of Laptop/PCs. This greatly increases mobility and maneuverability.

3. Flexible ContextM-Learning can transcend context, either on the field research, real events on the job, group discussions or classroom situation, M-Learning can be done on many situations with different types of results.

Mobile -Learning

Existing tools ineffective in developing the ability to collaborate spontaneously.

A survey on 946 decision makers from companies shows that collaboration was found to be the most important indicator of a company’s overall performance.

(HR) managers ranked applied skills such as teamwork/collaboration and critical thinking as more important than basic skills such as reading comprehension and writing.

Key Goals for KUISAS

Centralize Latest Source of Knowledge / Information- Pull videos/articles from the WebTV, online resources that KUISAS subscribes to and organize them in the respective rooms/topics- Any updates made on LMS or the other systems, an announcement in the form of a notification message will be sent into the respective rooms

1Existing Learning Resources presents valuable materials which can enhance learning.

But resources are spread across multiple systems reducing accessibility.

Latest Articles, Videos, Assignments, Important Information on Courses/Examinations etc

Challenge 1:

Streamline Communication Channel

2KUISAS reaches out to students via multiple channels to ensure they are engaged sufficiently.

But this results in possible miscommunications and hinders good sensing of students’ learning activities.

From virtual means of using emails and messaging systems to manual means of letters and noticeboard announcements.

- With the strong messaging culture already imbued in our young, it is only naturally to centralize all communication on a single device; on the mobile.

- This prevents miscommunication or less than timely access to the latest information.

KUISAS understands the benefit of e-learning and delivering lessons online due to the limitation of physical interactions.

But there is gap in delivering live lessons and consultations via a unified communication platform.

At this moment, e-Learning is mainly used for Forums, Lecture Notes, Assignments & Online Quizzes.

Challenge 3: Complement physical lessons with online interactions & consultations - Lecturers can now conduct live classes or live video consultations with students which is enhances learning effectively and save time by reducing the need for physical meetings.
