Abstract

In this paper, we present a technique of mobile learning for relating paper maps and electronic information resources using radio frequency identification (RFID), mobile device and Wi-Fi technology. The system combining paper maps with electronic guide resources. Information about a training problem or region is accessed by waving a handheld computer equipped with an RFID reader above the region of interest on a paper map. Mobile device have been used as tools for navigation learning and mobile-learning information. It presents the prototyping efforts, including vocational education and training problems learned about using RFID for mixed media interfaces.
