Many studies undertaken in the field of education have revealed that m-learning is emerging more and more as an effective learning method with the use of smartphones. Always turned on and easily transported, smartphones can be used anywhere, at any given time and in any context. Considering this potential of smartphones in our current society, in this thesis we present an m-learning model designed as a learning support tool in computer science and software engineering. To achieve this goal, we first show the existing efforts to integrate smartphones into programming tools. Following the same idea, we show examples of using mobile applications for programming. We then demonstrate that smartphones have limitations that make the programming exercise ineffective. Given these limitations, we show that, especially for programming courses, m-learning plays its role fully when it provides access to useful information on an ongoing basis to support the learning process. Thus, we come up with the design of m-learning as a learning support tool in computer science and software engineering. In this sense, m-learning provides an environment to receive updates on the planned work, notifications, comments, task schedules, new tasks to be performed, etc. Then, after having studied different architectural styles and different types of applications, we present possibilities of implementation of this m-learning model. We identify the hybrid architecture as the ideal architecture for designing and developing m-learning tools. We show how this hybrid architecture works by using the Apache Cordova Framework to produce m-learning tools that are both customizable and portable.
