Using Mobile Apps to Cultivate Students’ Life-long Learning Habit

• eClass: Need to buy licenses

• Moodle: Free

• Main benefits of traditional Learning Resources Management Systems:

◦ Students’ assignments and teachers’ feedback can be collected systematically

◦ Teaching materials can be arranged systematically

Existing Learning Platforms

• Are these so-called learning platforms targeted for students or teachers?

• Will students revise the materials on these platforms even after promoted to high levels or graduated?

• Will students use them for life-long learning?

Existing Learning Platforms

• To promote life-long learning, instead of using specialized learning platforms, tools that are available to most people at anytime should be encouraged

• Mobiles apps are good candidates, especially those that are NOT limited by specific subjects or contexts, with transferrable skills
