Approaches:
This research contains two approaches which are the scientific approach and social approach, in which it describes an architectural framework and a prototype implementation of a web-based multi-channel e-Learning application that allows users to collaborate regardless of the communication device a user is carrying and will improve the learning processes.The prototype application has been tested locally (on a localhost computer) using a mobile device emulator. The study concluded that with the multi-channel approach, feedback between the students and lecturers is faster since scope of communication device used by clients are more, and interaction is flexible and community based.
Levels:
This research is implemented at the project level in which it aims at creating an architectural framework and web-based application that will improve learning processes using multi-channel technologies that connect students, faculty and the researcher community in a growing network of education environments, irrespective of the communication device such as WAP phones, Laptop/PC, Pocket PC and PDAs owned by a subscriber.
Techniques:
The researcher used a number of tools in his study, which are:
• Observation and study of important documents and information from the Internet was used to elicit relevant facts or information on web-based learning .
• The Microsoft Visual Studio.NET framework was employed in developing the prototype application.
• Microsoft development tool was chosen (since it can be downloaded free from the Internet), because it is compatible since they are all from the same company (Wei-Meng, 2007).
