A Pilot E-Learning Experience on Telecommunications: Towards the E-Campus Concept

The adoption of latest advancements in mobile technology can prove to be successful in transforming current teaching activities into structured learning paths based on completely novel paradigms. In our vision, mobile technology is a means to improve the quality of the interaction among students and among students and teachers, leading to an integrated ecampus environment. In the paper, we describe the pilot experience we are carrying on in this context, by means of the adoption of mobile technology (tablet PCs for both the lecturers and the students paired with proper network infrastructure support) and, far more important, by the complete re-design of the teaching paradigm, orienting to an interactive and highly motivating learning activity, and not limiting to rudimentary unidirectional web-based approach.
