Nowadays, educational technology, even in the early stages, enables curriculum adjustment to meet students' learning and life situations. It also provides alternatives to traditional educational methods and enhances higher education lectures. For example, new technology eliminates spatial and temporal constraints, as students and teachers needn’t be in the same classroom, or even within the same area, to exchange information or educational material, but can be anywhere without hampering their work. Furthermore, the operating cost of schools and universities is reduced, since all course materials can be presented using cheap technology, through the screens of electronic devices.
In this project, the goal of our study is three-fold: first, to understand the benefits of learning through mobile devices (m-learning), second, to provide an analysis of principles, patterns of mobile interface design and tactics for solving common mobile development problems, and third, to produce a new m-learning application, based on the findings of this study, which offers direct communication between students and teachers. In order to establish this communication, the application offers poll forms that can host questions with various answer choices. The use of polls also enables the fast collection of students’ responses and viewing results on the screens of mobile devices.
