  2. Introduction • Aim of this work: create a mobile-learningapplication, to help Qatar Petroleum (QP) trainees to learn workplace English. • It will not replace but enhance the conventional method of learning. • Advantages: • Learn beyond classroom walls • Learn faster • Learn anytime, anywhere. • Learn with fun 

  3. Project Objectives: • Investigatem-learning approaches to deliver English language training for oil and gas industry workers. • Considerlimitedmemory and processing capacity of handheld devices. • Investigate effective use of learning object repositories form-learning • Develop, deliver, and evaluate a pilot model of m-Learning objects • (based on a module of English content used for training by Qatar Petroleum (QP)instructors.) • Evaluate the improvement due to using mobile devices to improve their work efficiency. • Determinewaysin which the m-learning model for English training, as suggested in this study, can transfer to other industries.

  15. Qatar Petroleum – Qatar University M-Learning Pilot Results Test Averages from All Pilots (27 Learners, 5 oil & gas companies, 3 loc.)

  16. Learner Feedback – Questionnaire on m-Learning Pilot Survey breakdown for analysis

  17. Survey breakdown for analysis: Is it more convenient to have information and content in mobile phone or in books? How easy did you find the navigation through the mobile course? Did you find the Lesson Slides easy to understand? Did you find the Assessment Activities engaging, that is, did they hold your interest??

  19. Conclusion • Development of learning objects • Learning objects were developed according to the chosen learning approaches and devices capabilities. • Pulling the learning objects • Application’s platform can successfully pull the learning objects from the server and download it on the mobile phone. • Mlearning proved useful for Oil and Gas industry • >16% improvement in results after using m-learning. • Extension to other industrial sectors • Mobile learning system can be easily extended to sectors other than oil and gas, like healthcare.

  20. Future work and recommendations • Application provided in other industrial and educational fields • Implement the communication approach: such as the forum, sending e-mails and SMSs • Providing the capability for the user to post the learning objects into the server • Providing appropriate authoring tools can be implemented to achieve better expandability for the system.
