THE DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT OF A MOBILE WORKFLOW LEARNING APPLICATION

Workflow Learning is the adaptation of WfMS (Workflow Management Systems) from the business domain in the learning domain. A Workflow which is made by participants, actions, documents and a set of procedural rules, can be adapted in a learning environment, the actors involved in the learning process are the participants, the learning activities are the actions, the artifacts students can produce are the documents and the relationship among the learning topics are the procedural rules. The aim of this research is the implementation of a Software Reference Architecture for WfLMS (Workflow Learning Management Systems) with Mobile, Cloud and Collaborative functionalities in order to design and develop a mobile application for WfLMS. The Reference Architecture was the result of applying the Workflow Management System Reference Model in conjunction with Mobile, Cloud and Collaborative Architectural pattern solutions. The implementation of the Reference Architecture resulted in a mobile WfLMS for the iOS platform.
