Abstract

As the mobile applications are constantly facing a rapid development in the recent years especially in the academic environment such as student response system (Lópeza, Royoa, Labordab, & Calvoa, 2009; Ngai & Gunasekaran, 2007; Mary & Biju, 2008; Nayak & Erinjeri, 2008; Roth, Ivanchenko, & Record, 2008; Lu, Stav, & Pein, 2009; Lu, 2009; Turning Technologies, 2010) used in universities and other educational institutions; However, an effective and scalable Database Management System to support fast and reliable data storage and retrieval is missing. This paper presents Database Management Architecture for an Innovative Evaluation System based on Mobile Learning Applications. The need for a relatively stable, independent, and extensible data model for faster data storage and retrieval is analyzed and investigated. Finally a case study to prove the concept of the urgent need for the system is proposed. It concludes that the system is important by emphasizing further investigation to support multimedia data types, such as video clips, images and documents in near future.
