The proliferation of smartphones and tablet computers is the newest paradigm shift occurring in the field of computing education. Mobile devices create serious resource and performance constraints that developers must keep in mind when creating applications for these platforms. In order to ensure that future developers have the knowledge required to create quality software solutions, academic institutions must seek to integrate mobile devices into their curricula. This paper presents an approach to integrate mobile application development in database systems courses, in the form of a short module designed to cover the approaches for persistent storage available on mobile devices. The Centre for Mobile Education and Research (CMER) has developed material, released as part of the CMER Academic Kit, including hands-on labs and assignments that instructors can freely download and integrate into their courses.
