The objectives of this research were: 1) develop and instructional set
based on mobile learning in computer theory Rajamangala University
of Technology Isan Sakon nakhon Campus 2) to compare the
students’ learning achievement between before and after learning with
the instructional set
3) to evaluate the students’ satisfaction after
learning with the developed instructional set. This research consisted
of four content for development Introduction to System, System
Development Life Cycle, Development and Implementation,
Maintenance from part of online content in System Analysis and
Design course. The Research sample were purposively selected from
3 undergraduate students at the Rajamangala University of
Technology Isan Sakon nakhon Campus.
The result from the posttest of student after learning with the
developed instruction set is higher than those of pretest at the
statistically significant level of .01. The Satisfaction of students
learning with the developed lessons, was “High” level (Mean = 4.34,
S.D. = 0.41).
1. Introduction
Mobile Learning tends to be one of effective new choices in knowledge distribution to
community. It also helps to reach a goal of long life learning. This sis because in 2007
more than 3-3 billion people worldwide own their mobile phones which is rapidly increased
about 2 billion people when compare with number of mobile users in 2006. Comparing
between number of registering mobile users and the Internet users around the world,
number of mobile users are more than those who use the Internet with only 1.1 billion
people.
According to the more number of mobile users mentioned above M- Learning seems
to be more interesting for students as a means in learning through the use of computer
and technology that is continued developed, i.e. wireless. M-learning can promote
opportunity of education.

At present, education is focused on the learner- centered. Learners can develop
their potential by having the opportunity to choose a path to success and focused on
learning. There are variety of learning methods which each school tries to develop a
course based on the real needs of the students and curriculum development by integrating
the experience for preparing students to be ready.
Education programs need to focus on the layout and environment of learning
effectively. As a whole, the model should take into account the learning needs of the
students. Need a way to measure the progress of students (Juwong, Lapapan, 2002).
There are government policies to reform the teaching emphasis " "Adaptive learning
Adaptive teaching " which benefit students and to the teaching emphasis on learning is
important. Therefore, it has developed a model for teaching and learning quality in a
variety of formats. In particular, the use of information technology for teaching that focuses
on the education and resource dependence (The Commission on Higher Education of
Thailand, 2002) Learners can study at a time and place convenient. Creating a learning
resource to support the lifelong learning of citizens Thailand. Education reform is a way
that all regions of the world in all areas of society that is very important to change the
format of the system by focusing on teaching the students is important.
The reform of the education system in Thailand began to see more clearly. When
the Constitution of the Kingdom of Thailand, BE 1999 as the first legal study of Thailand
issued under the provisions of the Constitution, which the major one is, Education policy in
an open, comprehensive education in both formal and non-formal education system and
the people in the nation have been able to learn throughout life.
One approach to the implementation of such policies and the mission was
successful. The technology, media and telecommunications, and computers to assist in
supporting the expansion of educational opportunities. As the Commission of National
Education has conducted research in the University Development Telematics (Virtual
University) in order to find ways to measure. And patterns in the development of the
University of Technology in Thailand. For this reason, Thailand is moving into the higher
education system on the computer network. The teaching and learning on computer
networks can be considered as a new form of teaching. Using computer networks as a
way to convey content. As a means of access to information and the tools to build
knowledge which has a different approach to learning namely E-Learning, Online
Learning, Web Based education, Web Based Instruction, Tele-Learning, Tele-Education,
Virtual Classroom, Virtual University. (Tongdeelert Pichai, 2004) Tools that help create
knowledge by using E-Learning lessons are taught. Lessons which made him even more.
And make the students interested in learning more. (Tepprasan Salinan et. al. (2005) In
education today, Teaching a computer network has different from teaching in a traditional
classroom or Traditional Classroom Environment called Face to Face. So teaching
computer networks is an effective and efficient learning outcomes. The method of
teaching and learning activities that are appropriate . The facilitate the formation of the
instruction on the computer network. It uses the technology of network efficiently and give
you the results and benefits of learning superlatively.

2. Literature Review
2.1 Mobile Operating System; Symbian Foundation, Windows Mobile, Android, Palm
(Lertwongpirud Nattapan, 2012)
2.2 Mobile Learning
Composition of mobile learning
1) Context Data – course description, user manual, helping system and other
nesscesary information for supporting and facilitating to learner during learning.
2) Intelligent Support Engine – Wireless Technology Network, MLMS with start from
registration, presentation, content management, communication, monitoring and other
accessory instrument to support learning and teaching to mobile monitor and mobile
devices.

Monchai, 2002)
3. The Methodology and Model
3.1 The analysis of Instructional model mobile learning for System Analysis and
Design) this phase aims to study and analysis literatures. The most appropriate contents
are chosen from System Analysis and Design course which is online instruction base
(chaleenuch et. al., 2009) this is case study.

5. Summary and Conclusions
Development of Mobile Learning in Computer Theory in 4 content of System Analysis
and Design with is online learning activity. According to the comparison of learning
achievement of experimental group that study with the instructional model between pretest and post-test and then analyse data by t-test dependent sampling to find. The
differences of the experimental group is 0.000 with shown that pre-test score is differences
post-test score. It is reveals that the experimental group have higher learning
achievement. The overall satisfaction of the learners is in high level (Mean = 4.21, S.D. =
0.42). The design of the content system in each item is in high level (Mean = 4.27, S.D. =
0.42). The satisfaction of learners toward instructional model is in high level in each item,
(Mean = 4.34, S.D. = 0.41).
