  • Functions 
  • How to login? 
  • Loading time 
  • Online/offline?

    You hit the points that I really concern what are the pros and cons while applying mobile application as a teaching tool. The “accessibility”, “how to login in”, “loading time” and “how many people can use it” are the considerations about the feasibility. In the classroom situation, different students have different types of mobile with different operation system, such as Android, iOs, new version, old version and different interfaces. Then I found they really do not know where downloading the app, how installing it, and how using it to conduct the lesson. Tutor may spend time to help fixing the problem.

The best online elearning course from our research is "Minecraft Hour of Code". Ray Minecraft Hour of Code  https://code.org/minecraft Lesson Overview: In this one hour lesson, learners of all ages get an introductory experience with coding and computer science in a safe, supportive environment.
