MILAGE LEARN+: A Mobile Learning App to Aid the Students in the Study of Organic Chemistry

Abstract

Interactive learning is one of the approaches that is very important to explore in higher education. Chemistry students own smartphones, laptops, and tablets and could use appropriate apps to complement traditional forms of learning. Here we introduce a new app, MILAGE LEARN+, which integrates several teaching strategies, such as mobile learning, autonomous learning, peer review, blended learning, and gamification. These strategies were evaluated by the student users through an electronic survey form containing 15 statements with responses graded on a Likert-type scale. Students rate the usage of novel teaching/learning strategies in the MILAGE LEARN+ app as something very positive. There is a positive correlation between the relative grades obtained using MILAGE LEARN+ and the final exam grades. Thus, in this experience, students with better results in MILAGE LEARN+ also had better results in the final exam.

An English Mobile Learning Platform Embedded in GSM-R Wireless Network Communication

“…It can be seen from Table 3 that the average English scores of students before using different systems are the same, but after using the designed platform, reference [6] method, and reference [7] method, respectively, the average English scores of students have been improved to varying degrees, but the designed English learning platform has significantly improved their scores, It shows that the platform designed in this paper is a feasible platform to improve English performance.…”

“…By analyzing Table 6, it can be seen that, in the written test, the total average score of students after using the design platform is similar to that after using the methods of reference [6] and reference [7], indicating that students' mastery of basic knowledge such as vocabulary is similar.…”

“…ere is a certain gap between the total average score of students' oral test results, which shows that the optimized teaching mode based on the design platform has more advantages in English learning. During the actual operation and enterprise practice project test, the total average scores of students after using the design platform are higher than those after using the methods of reference [6] and reference [7], indicating that the students in the verification group have stronger business English application ability. e comprehensive ability score of students is calculated according to formula (1), which is 8.74 points after using the design platform and 7.48 points after using the methods of reference [6] and reference [7], indicating that the comprehensive ability of students is stronger after using the design platform.…”

“…In the verification process, the control variable is unique, and relevant conclusions are obtained by analyzing the test data. Using the designed platform, reference [6] method, and reference [7] method, after four tests, including written test, oral test, live operation test, and enterprise practice, the total average score of each test is shown in Table 6.…”

“…As for the mobile learning platform, reference [6] designs a mobile learning application to help students learn organic chemistry. Interactive learning is one of the important ways worth exploring in higher education.…”
