Resumo
Com o constante desenvolvimento da tecnologia móvel, o seu uso
por estudantes está crescer cada vez mais. Isto levou a criação de um novo
conceito na educação chamado Mobile Learning. Este novo modelo proporciona ao estudante uma maior exibilidade no seu processo de aprendizagem, através do uso de dispositivos móveis em contexto educacional. Quem lida com estudantes
já se apercebeu que estes possuem uma forte ligação com os dispositivos móveis.
Assim, torna-se necessário criar novas formas de explorar este domínio e tornar a sua utilização vantajosa para o processo de ensino/aprendizagem, tanto dentro como fora da sala de aula.
O trabalho desenvolvido no âmbito desta dissertação consiste no desenvolvimento de duas aplicações com o intuito de ajudar professores e estudantes no seu processo educacional. No desenvolvimento destas aplicações a plataforma usada foi o MIT App Inventor 2, um ambiente visual de projeto e programação baseado em blocos de código que torna possível a criação de aplicações Android acessível a uma ampla gama de utilizadores, com ou sem conhecimento de programação. As aplicações desenvolvidas Teach2Student e Student2Teach destinam-se a ser utilizadas respetivamente
por professores e alunos de uma forma articulada.
With the constant development of mobile technology, its use is increasing by students. Therefore, it has led to the creation of a new educational paradigm named Mobile Learning. This new parading provides students with exibility in their learning process, with the use of mobile devices for learning purposes. It is already known that students have a strong connection with their mobile devices. Thus, it is necessary to create new forms to explore this field, and make it an advantageously way to the teaching/learning process, both inside and outside the classroom. The work developed under the scope of this dissertation consists in the development of two Android applications with the aim of helping teachers and students in their educational process. To develop this applications the platform used was MIT App Inventor 2, which is a visual block-based development environment that makes Android application creation accessible to a wide range of users with or without programming knowledge. The developed applications: Teach2Student and Student2Teach were designed to be used by teachers and students respectively, in an articulated form.
