Abstract

As a result of tremendous enhancements in the capabilities of mobile devices and availability of higher data rate mobile internet, the use of online multimedia learning resources on mobile devices is increasingly becoming popular. Limited Battery Power of mobile devices, however, is still one big challenge in Mobile Learning. High Quality multimedia learning resources are power hungry and if used on mobile devices drain battery power rapidly limiting learning opportunities on the move. Lack of significant improvements in battery capacities has resulted in significant interest in battery power saving techniques. Existing power-saving streaming multimedia adaptation techniques tend to extend battery life by reducing quality of multimedia making them susceptible to information loss. This loss may affect the learning content efficacy and jeopardizes the learning process. To the best of our knowledge, no previous work has considered the learning content efficacy in multimedia streaming adaptation mechanism. In this paper, we present MoBELearn system, which is a prototype implementation of our proposed Content Aware Power Saving Educational Multimedia Adaptation (CAPS-EMA) approach. We demonstrate battery efficiency in educational multimedia streaming while keeping the adapted resource suitable for learning. We also describe our semantic metamodel for educational multimedia resource that support our energy efficient adaptation technique.
