An Enhance Integrated System to Facilitate Postgraduate Research Program in Tertiary Institutions

ABSTRACT Technology advancement has influenced tertiary institutions to necessitate new teaching approaches. However, traditional learning fosters a culture whereby communication between students and supervisors is minimal and the student does not outgrow his reliance on the supervising instructors. Similarly, the main assessment of conventional learning is for the student to merely master limited sets of knowledge. Hence mobile technology presents a unique solution that can support various types of learning and communication processes. This research investigates how mobile learning can support postgraduate research program. It recognizes the learning prospects that different mobile learning activities deliver, as well as exploring the challenges in implementing them. The results from the study were used to develop an improved e-learning system. The system gives a better precision of supervisor evaluation and provide platform for postgraduate students to discuss, view and review works done by their peers with efficiency in page response time and traffic handling.
