Conceptual Framework of Microlearning-Based Training Mobile Application for Improving Programming Skills

摘要

Application of microlearning-based training in higher education raises several new questions about the didactical design of learning activities, effective methodologies as well as technical implementation issues. The paper describes a framework of microlearning-based training mobile application for improving programming skills, which will integrate the advantages of the web-based learning environments and benefits of microlearning approach into the existing virtual learning environment infrastructure of the educational organization. The proposed mobile application framework implements innovative methods based on microlearning approach, learning anytime and anywhere requirements with immediate feedback, creating the learning community, and applying gamification features. These innovations are designed to address the interests, learning and communication habits of young people, with the goals to develop their internal motivation and sustain their interest in acquiring required programming skills.
