Abstract | e-learning has become important with the progress of education
digitization. It is very important for us to develop the educational contents for
e-learning materials. However, it has a quite different, but very important
factor. That is the equality of opportunity for education. As for e-learning,
students must have accesses to the education materials completely equally.
However, it is not so easy for them to have the complete equality by having at
least one computer per student in real life. It depends on financial situations of
students? families and also on the financial situations of the educational
organizations. Apart from PC, handheld cell phones could be used instead of
mobile PCs to some extent. In this study, a handheld cell phone was picked up
and used to have accesses to a course management system (CMS) based on
Moodle instead of PCs. And the usability was analyzed through a questionnaire
and confirmed as the first step for e-learning class in the future. |
