Abstract

Advancement of wireless and mobile technology has enabled additional platforms to support learning in a single learning space. Current trend integrates usage of mobile terminals such as smart PDA (personal digital assistant) in a learning system. Such devices can communicate with wireless mobile terminal and realize the intelligence exchange with its surroundings [1]. A LOCH (Language Learning Outside the Classroom) system named One Day Trip is developed to assist overseas students to learn Japanese in real life situations with the help of a PDA. This paper proposes the implementation with Knowledge Management (KM) concepts in the system to aid the teacher and learners in the learning environment.
