Abstract
With the growing popularity of mobile devices, several projects for mobile learning courses have been developed. Those equipments allow a superior portability and accessibility of the learning courses. In this context, the present paper focuses on the development of a mobile learning framework for an analog electronics course. This course was designed as a supplementary mean to the classic analog electronics courses. The course project consists of several interactive multimedia modules. At the end of each module, students have several oriented questions to answer. The set of answers, in SMS format, gives feedback to the teacher about the learning process. Another module, that is under development, is responsible for storing and managing the answers in a server, where all the results from students are processed in a competitive learning based methodology application.
