ABSTRACT


Technologies, such as mobile learning and online inquiry, would be used to create virtual versus real learning effects. In order to enhance the quality of the ecological environment learning projects in school settings, we integrate Project-based learning (PBL) strategy to develop an e-learning platform, and help students exploring their outdoor learning tasks with mobile learning technology. The main idea about the design and development of e-learning platform integrated PBL strategy, how to use mobile learning technology in the PBL learning tasks, and the feedback about PBL exploration from students are discussed in this study.


Keywords: E-Learning Platform Development, Project-Based Learning (PBL), Mobile Learning
