Abstract
Mobile learning is a very wide term which encompasses not only learning principles, but also in most cases a bunch of smart devices, from smart-phone to tablet or wearable devices. Any device that allows learning anywhere and anytime is a channel to information and channel that helps gain knowledge and apply it, and this is the main goal of mobile learning. It is not so simple to develop such a system in practice. One of the main objectives of this platform is to adapt students’ knowledge and communication skills with the needs of the current economy and society. Another objective why we choose to create disciplines in mobile learning or blended learning format refers to the integration of transversal competences, including the communication in learning and teaching. This paper presents the development of new tools for our smart platform, with implications and analysis from the point of view human computer interaction and mobile learning. The goal of tools is to improve the educational process by helping the professor form a correct mental model of each student’s performance. Besides this, the developed applications are also analyzed from human computer interaction and attempt to offer effective and highly usable tools. The languages supported by this module are both English and Romanian.
