A Cloud Based Mobile Learning Interface

The invent of new technologies that support the creation of new generation applications that have the ability of running on and outside a wide range of devices; like mobile phones or Personal Digital Assistants have given birth to Mobile Cloud Computing. Mobile Cloud Computing is an enhanced technology where both the data processing and data storage take place outside the mobile device. Cloud computing can simply be described as a technology that helps in storing data outside the computer context. Storing and updating processes take place in the cloud. In higher education institutions of Africa, some students cannot afford to buy up to date text books, so they can easily have access to learning resources through cloud based mobile learning. This paper presents a cloud-based mobile learning interface that allows students to access learning materials through cloud 24/7 to enhance their learning.
