ABSTRACT
Over the last decade, the education and training is strongly influenced by developments in technology. This phenomenon will become stronger given the
technology in the future will be more complex, powerful, and economically affordable. The most popular example, the Internet has now become an important
requirement for anyone involved in education and training activities, both as media and learning resources.
In a previous study of each application is limited to just one lesson so that the user requires a different application on each lesson. Besides, users must download the
applications to their mobile phone, it makes the content into static.
Therefore, it is necessary to develope mobile learning applications that have dynamic content. The methodology that I use in making this application is the
RAD, which has five stages, namely Communication, Planning, Modeling, Construction, and Deployment. The author uses the Java programming language,
JMaki Framework for AJAX, Hibernate ORM and MySQL database in making this application. With this application it will be easier for teachers in providing
learning materials and practice questions without limited by space and time so it is expected to increase effectiveness in learning.
Keywords
: Mobile Learning, Content Management System, dynamic web, RAD.
1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 Background
In a previous study of each application is limited to just one
lesson so that the user requires a different application on each
lesson. Besides, users must download the applications to their
mobile phone, it makes the content into static.
Based on the content was static, the authors developed a Content
Management System to fill material, so content can be tailored
to the needs of the application and not limited to one subject only.
Applications that do not restrict the authors develop the learners to
access any existing learning content, thus pambelajar can freely
obtain learning materials. To access the authors developed an
application that users can simply use a web browser on their mobile
phone.
1.2 Problem Formulation
Problems that can be formulated in this thesis as follows:
1. How to develop an application Content Management System for
mobile learning is necessary for teachers.
2. How to create a web application Content Management System for
mobile learning which can be accessed via mobile phones.
1.3 Limitation Problem
In order for the discussion of this topic is not too widespread it is
necessary to limit the problem. The boundary problem for this thesis
include: 1. Mobile learning acts as a
companion to existing learning systems.
2. Users need a mobile phone has a mobile browser to access this
system. 3. Teachers have the right to
increase the content of the material in accordance with the field that
was teaching. 4. Files that are allowed to be
uploaded is the file format. Doc,. Docx, ppt, pptx, xls, xlsx. Pdf,. Flv,
and MP3. 5. Learners can only see material
that has been entered by the teacher for and download files.
6. Learners are free to choose whatever materials are on m-
Learning applications, not limited by class and the semester that
followed. 7. The part that can be accessed by
mobile phone only on the frontend, while the beckend accessed by a
computer or laptop. 8. M-Learning will be built using
Java 1.5 with NetBeans IDE 6.7.1.
1.4 Objectives and Benefits Research
