“Mobile Class”: A Cloud-Based mobile learning system: Shanghai lifelong learning network’s “Mobile Cloud learning" prototype Dr. Minjuan Wang Designer for the project EBTIC Research Fellow

2 Cloud-based intelligent learning (C-iLearning) system architecture

Display and access internet learning platform Personal center Learning center Course center cloud-based mobile portal Personal center Learning center Course center resource base learning portfolios user information web service multi-screen in one Identification continuous learning upload and sharing download and management ① SOA Subsidiary function ② based on HTML5 cloud application architecture webapp mobile application mobile browser 1.Cloud architecture of the system Cloud management can synchronize learners’ progress and record to the “cloud”, so as to support learning on different devices without interruption.

2. Cloud Technologies Used (1) Users visit the Mobile Class platform with mobile devices. SaaS (Software As Service) type of m-learning: Download and install m-learning applications The core learning service (cloud) is deployed by using cloud application architecture on HTML5 standard. mLearn service is integrated with the learning platform of Shanghai Lifelong Learning Network, to ensure the greatest reusability.

2. Cloud Technologies Used (2) System can support both Androi and IOS mobile phones Access manager will identify the browser and the type of the mobile devices, and activate automatic typesetting. The system will use cloud technology to achieve the “multi-screen-in-one” function: 1.Provide learning material such as video-on-demand 2.Synchronize learning records to the “Cloud” 3.Access the “learning cloud” anytime anywhere on various mobile devices

2. Cloud Technologies Used (3) IasS: the Vmware system software: virtually manage the infrastructures supporting cloud learning, realize flexible hardware support The architecture based on cloud management can support cross-platform devices. Cost of system maintenance and upgrade is low.

3. Technical specifications and protocols HTTP download streaming media player progressively. —uses standard HTTP protocol to achieve playing while downloading. HTML5 —significantly increases the usability of mobile Web. CSS3 —Fits intelligent mobile phones based on WebKit browser
