Mobile learning using tablet devices: Lithuanian case study

Abstract

The paper aims to present case study of teaching and learning using tablet devices in Lithuania. It was accomplished while implementing Creative Classrooms Lab – the flagship European project in the area. In the paper, personalised mobile learning activities using tablet devices are analysed. In CCL, the authors created and applied ontologies to interconnect these mobile learning activities with students’ learning styles, suitable mobile applications (apps), other Internet tools, and learning objects types. Teachers’ and students’ opinion on personalised mobile learning activities based on problem solving, collaboration, inquiry-based learning, and flipped class methods is analysed in the paper. Also, the quality of personalised mobile learning activities is compared against the quality of traditional learning activities based on textbooks and face-to-face knowledge transmission. A novel method of expert evaluation of mobile learning activities based on Fuzzy AHP method to establish the weights of the mobile learning activities’ quality criteria is applied. Research results show that personalised mobile learning activities could help teachers to enhance students’ creativity and motivation and thus to improve their learning results.
