This module provides an introduction to the development of mobile and ubiquitous (MU) learning activities. The overall aim is to equip students with the socio-technical expertise to understand the role of mobile technologies in education.
Students will take an interdisciplinary approach to the area, focusing on the key challenges in design, development and deployment of mobile learning experiences. They will be provided with "hands-on" opportunities for designing their own learning experiences and for programming mobile phones during lab sessions.
The AWS SDK for Android provides a library, code samples, and documentation for developers to build connected mobile applications using Amazon Web Services. Example applications developers can build with the AWS SDK for Android include:
A media application that uploads photos, videos, and more to Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) for world-wide distribution through Amazon CloudFront.
A social game that shares moves, high scores, and other data between devices using Amazon SimpleDB.
A messaging client that broadcasts messages between devices using Amazon Simple Queue Service (Amazon SQS) and Amazon Simple Notifications Service (Amazon SNS), without requiring any additional server infrastructure.
