“…By eliminating code redundancy, a platform-independent approach lowers the cost of production and maintenance. The key benefit of this technique is that a smartphone application is created for any target platform provider from the same shared codebase [7]. We chose not to use the native approach in order to build a cost-effective alternative to make the software accessible on a variety of devices and platforms because it is time-intensive and requires programmers to learn a variety of programming languages, resources, and settings [8].…”

The term “mobile learning” (or “m-learning”) refers to using handheld phones to learn and wireless computing as a learning tool and connectivity technology. This paper presents and explores the latest mobile platform for teaching and studying programming basics. The M-Learning tool was created using a platform-independent approach to target the largest available number of learners while reducing development and maintenance time and effort. Since the code is completely shared across mobile devices (iOS, Android, and Windows Phone), students can use any smartphone to access the app. To make the programme responsive, scalable, and dynamic, and to provide students with personalised guidance, the core application is based on an analysis design development implementation and assessment (ADDIE) model implemented in the Xamarin framework. The application’s key features are depicted in a prototype. An experiment is carried out on BS students at a university to evaluate the efficacy of the generated application. A usefulness questionnaire is administered to an experimental community in order to determine students’ expectations of the developed mobile application’s usability. The findings of the experiment show that the application is considerably more successful than conventional learning in developing students’ online knowledge assessment abilities, with an impact size of 1.96. The findings add to the existing mobile learning literature by defining usability assessment features and offering a basis for designing platform-independent m-learning applications. The current findings are explored in terms of their implications for study and teaching practice.

Nowadays, mobile devices are an essential mean for accessing information. Over time, industries and businesses have been exploring this phenomenon extensively to gain market share and competitive advantage. This is especially true in the tourism industry where mobile applications are crucial in the modern e-Tourism model. This paper presents a mobile application that aims to support the management of social tourism initiatives and the mediation of tourist experiences, within the context of a senior exchange programme in social economy organisations. The mobile application design was guided by the Dynamic Systems Development Method framework and takes a set of requirements and specific needs of each stakeholder into account. The developed software artefact is a mobile hybrid application that provides an almost native user experience, fulfilling its design objectives and purpose.
