Abstract

The present article presents the Extended MOBILIS architecture, which allows the integration of Virtual Learning Environments with Mobile Applications, using a layer of web services as the communications mediator between the two entities. In order to validate the architecture, the creation process of an application was started to introduce the utilization of voice in a web-forum through a mobile application made for the Android platform. In the process of development of the application, aspects of usability were taken into consideration in order to facilitate the use of the application in cell phones and enhance its resources in the context of Mobile Learning.
