Abstract:

In this paper the possibilities for the implementation of e-learning and m-learning in enhanced networks based on IMS NGN architecture are described. We have defined new elements for the IMS platform to make the learning system useful for end users (teachers, students, trainees). The system and functional architecture with a detailed description of the functional entities is also presented. Proposed M/E-learning architecture is based on the analysis of available Learning Management Systems and deep understanding of IMS architecture. Both areas are described for providing the background of the addressed environment of mobile learning. The paper are also introduces usecases to illustrate the possibilities of the proposed m-learning platform in applications for on-line training, flexible access to various multi-media sources/applications/content, as well as in practical exercises based on remote access to NGNLab.eu, real lab exercises and virtual lab exercises. The results of the multi-device mobile access to M-learning platforms are also presented in this article.
