Android Based Math Learning App in jQuery Mobile and Apache Cordova
Description
Learning and practicing math is more fun when it’s part of a game that’s why the researchers proposed this android based math learning app in order for the students to gain more creative methods in learning basic math concepts. This project is an example of elearning using the android devices. The said application will be developed in jquery mobile, it is a html5 based framework for creating responsive web and mobile application.
Objectives
The main objective of the study is to develop an android based math learning app.
Specifically, the objectives of the study are:
- To develop an android based application that provides a secure and private way of learning that the low and slow learners can be able to absorb the lessons and acquire skills in a more easy and convenient way.
- To develop an android based application that provides a method of teaching where students can learn the lessons quickly.
- To develop android based application that serves as a remedial lesson for students who are slow learners in math subject.
Beneficiary
Instructors/Professors. The math learning app helps primarily to the one who is handling the subject for more effective teaching methodology and interactive teaching-learning processes.
Students. Using the math learning app, the students can easily interact to the teacher because drills are provided in each topic of the subject.
Researchers. This study will give the researchers a venue to further develop their programming skills. This study will also improve the research and thesis writing skills of the researchers.
Features and System Modules
Android Based Math Learning App has Home, About the App, Category, and Developers page.
Homepage is the startup page where the main links and other navigation menus are located.
About the App is where you can find the description and the purpose of this Android Based Math Learning App.
Categories are the list of topic on where you can able to choose from.
The questions provided are taken from the category select, in which the students can able to enhance their knowledge through answering the questions that follows on that particular category.
Scores is the page where you can see the results of all questions that you have taken. Its helps the users to know more about the information in checking all the correct answers from the test.
Developers, the sites where you can find the list of the persons involved on this application or a system.
Advantages
- Mobile application are infinitely patient, never get tired, never get frustrated or angry, and never forgot to correct or praise, and are fun and entertaining.
- The math learning app gives immediate feedback and are more objective than teachers.
- The math learning app gives a sense of control over learning and is excellent for drill and practice.
Development Tools
The following are the system requirements of Android Based Math Learning App.
Software requirements
HTML, CSS, and JavaScript: For the design and layout of the application
jQuery Mobile – jQuery Mobile is a touch-optimized web framework (also known as a mobile framework), more specifically a JavaScript library, currently being developed by the jQuery project team. The development focuses on creating a framework compatible with a wide variety of smartphones and tablet computers, made necessary by the growing but heterogeneous tablet and smartphone market.The jQuery Mobile framework is compatible with other mobile app frameworks and platforms such as PhoneGap, Worklight and more.
Apache Cordova: It’s a platform for building native mobile applications using HTML, CSS and JavaScript. This allows you to build mobile applications locally.
PhoneGap is a mobile development framework produced by Nitobi, purchased by Adobe Systems in 2011. It enables software programmers to build applications for mobile devices using JavaScript, HTML5, and CSS3, instead of relying on platform-specific APIs like those in iOS, Windows Phone, or Android.It enables wrapping up of HTML, CSS and Javascript code depending upon the platform of the device. It extends the features of HTML and Javascript to work with the device. The resulting applications are hybrid, meaning that they are neither truly native mobile application (because all layout rendering is done via web views instead of the platform’s native UI framework) nor purely web-based (because they are not just web apps, but are packaged as apps for distribution and have access to native device APIs).
