The purpose of this study was to investigate how to improve the question solving mechanism to encourage students participation in learning activities through handheld mobile devices. Our proposed question solving mechanism includes question issued agent, question voting function, and message delivery agent to reduce the question solving processes and to enhance learning effect by using handheld mobile devices. According to the results, learners mostly agreed on our proposed question solving mechanism. It can help teacher-student interaction, enhance learners learning effects, and achieve higher learning satisfaction.
