Abstract

This paper presents a framework that aims to support several steps of learning activities. Working either on mobile and non-mobile devices, Test-IT, allows users to learn ubiquitously and to proceed with their work at any time and place. It approaches both teaching and learning activities, allowing teachers and students to cooperate using common mobile devices to transfer information between each other.We describe the requirements for using such tool on mobile devices and comment some of the current approaches. The design process and the framework's components, focusing particularly on the user interface and usability issues, are addressed.We also focus on the flexibility provided by Test-IT, allowing users to create specific applications, according to their field or subject of expertise.
