Overview

The hand-held systems and the wireless Internet access are widely available in recent years. However, the mobile learning with web content is still inconvenient. For example, the information has not well organized and it is uneasy to surf on the small screen of handheld device. Authors propose a mobile system based on the content of Wikipedia. Wikipedia is a free content resource and has abundant contents of text and pictures. Authors use the Wikipedia wrapper that authors developed before, to develop the mobile-learning interface of cross-language and cross-platform applications. Authors system can present the content of Wikipedia on the small screens of PDA, and can be use on mobile learning. A teaching scenario of mobile learning during a museum visiting is discussed in this paper.
