Using of mobile devices as an education material: Contribution of correctly designed mobile education applications to learning

Abstract

Students transport their learning processes to mobile media thanks to tablets and PCs. Students can determine the place and time of learning thanks to mobile education. Although these personal devices are technologically developed in today’s world, they   cannot   turn   into   education   materials   without   necessary educational software.  When  teaching  software  is  compared  with  other  teaching materials,  we  see  that  they  are  difficult  to  develop  and  expensive  materials  for teachers. Those limits led the transformation of traditional and e-learning materials as exactly same to content as education materials.  This situation turns the aimed education to a more complex and unpractical situation. When it comes to visual and audial  interaction,  tablets  and  PCs  seem  as  they  serve  the  purpose.  But,  when  we come  to  mobile  education;  since  the  contents  do  not  have  visual  design  and multimedia  characteristics,  they  cannot  turn  them  to  developed  devices  but  just traditional education materials.

Aim of this study is to examine the advantages of tablets and PCs as education materials.  These devices have a visual, audial and physical communication with the user. Besides, they led an education method which students can determine education place and time. In this context, this study aims to present goals about contribution of tablets and PCs to educational processes throughout the correctly designed education software and the development methods of educational level.
