Is ICT the master
key of all education
problems?
The 21st century,
are you digital
native or digital
resistant?
Why people stick to
old trends while
there are easy
alternatives?

Is it the right time
and place to shift
from classic
education to ICT
based learning?
Does technology fit
with education
circumstances of
rural areas?

Type of mLearning
Education for rural areas especially for girls who are humiliated due to illiteracy and
stereotypes of their parents.
3.
Project goals
Empower Moroccan education outcome by scaffolding the next generation, case of the
rural girl
→Improving the situation of rural students suffering from hard circumstances
→Using ICT based learning as a mean to overcome the lack of disadvantaged areas
→Enhancing the teaching and learning process for rural students
→Encouraging the use of mobile devices as ubiquitous education for students with
geographic and climatic difficulties
4.
Target audience
The project targets generally the student living in rural areas and more specifically the
middle school level. As a start the project will target a model class thus after evaluation
and result it will be generalized
Target Drade/Age:
→1st year: 30 students
→2nd year: 30 students
→3rd year: 30 students
→Teenagers from 11 to 15
5.
What type of technology and infrastructure can be expected?
While I have already experienced an mLearning project I know exactly the limits of such
technology that’s why I suggest wide screen devices like tablets and I don’t recommend
smart phones because we need full interaction with knowledge especially in such
difficult areas and according to my result utility and usability are less comparing to >=5”

screen devices and morocco has already experienced a project related to ICT in
Moroccan education called “Cyber School “program so living new experience will be
more interesting for Moroccan student especially disadvantages ones.
6.
Possible guarantees for sustainability
The project is based on many backgrounds because I want to reutilize and recycle
previous ideas and contents for instance the idea of “FATIH project” in Turkey that of
using tablets in public education “iSchool initiative” that implement technology in
schools without forgetting the use of contents from “CITI project” the web and computer
based learning platform for improving science school subjects in Morocco in addition to
my mLearning project “EIEM” thus this will be the continuity of EIEM project but this
time with new ideas and the most important thing fixing the encountered problems and
working with new breath.

A broader description of the project
The project is about enhancing rural areas learners to using new technology in their
learning process as a way to move from classic education to ICT based education so
convincing both educators & students to shift their manner of interaction with knowledge
from old school methods; Walk Chalk and Talk to 21st century pedagogy case of mobile
learning is hard to deal with and must happened step by step
→Approval of the project: Building the final draft of the project and waiting the approval
to start processing other tasks
→Establishing connections & papers: Contacting people wishing get involved in the
project and signing contracts and all needed papers
→Analysis phase: Building the skull of the whole project making scenarios how the other
phases will be considered & realized
→Design phase: Learning design of the project
→Development phase: Develop contents and think about how managing them
→Implementation phase: Implement all content in the working space but in our case we
need just customize content because we have already the Mobile Interactive learning
environment ready on the server
→Evaluation phase:
●
Qualitative evaluation
●
Quantitative evaluation
●
Formative evaluation (Present in each stage of the project)

● Summative evaluation

→Results & recommendations: after getting the evaluation results and polls done during
the project progress we can arrive to give some recommendations and why not
standards or models prototypes
→Creation of troubleshot & post project cell: That team is very important to sustain
every problem that can occur before during and after the project working process

Which steps will you take to ensure you will reach your mLearning goal?
A) First step we need to deliver our ideas to target audience thus they will know about
what they are involving in
B) Making “Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic, Tangible, Evaluate, Re-do” goals
C) Choosing a model of work for example ADDIE and project management method
GANTT,PERT…
D) Respecting Time Cost Quality triangle
E) Testing and evaluating the project at each step
F) finalizing, fix errors and bugs
