摘要:The M-learning is new emerging platform to present and deliver contents based knowledge using mobile/tablet devices. But the most difficult task is to prepare mathematical and scientific contents on those devices, as these devices do have very small screens and keyboards and modern authors do prefer mobile/tablets for content preparation over laptops/desktops because of mobility. Unfortunately there are no applications on tablet/mobile platforms for content preparations. However desktop/laptop computers have lot of applications for content preparations. Our research was primary aimed to find innovative ways to prepare contents quickly by providing context specific keyboards as well as switching these keyboards quickly with press of easily locatable key on the existing keyboard. Our research was also focused to find innovative ways to present the content as per various MS-OFFICE formatting and style options by providing MS keyboard. After finding these innovative ways, we have written "T-Board" application on Android Platform and given to various authors for their review and suggestions. After almost 10 iterations and revisions, our authors are satisfied and started preparing scientific and mathematical contents on their tablet/mobile platforms. These authors have also expressed us that "T-board" made their life very easy as far as contents preparation on mobile platforms. They also expressed that their productivity has increased many-fold in our 10 th revision when compared to our 1 st version. So our final version (release 10) "T-board" solves the issue of content preparation on small devices by providing context specific keyboards which are fast switchable. For example, if you wish to prepare the notes for the topic Trigonometry in Geometry subject using smart phone. Then you will require specific symbols like ¦Ë, ¦Õ, ¦Á, degree, ^2 etc. which will be provided by our context specific keyboard i.e. "T-Board". Even "T-Board" cater some innovative ways in preparing HTML based content using presentation keyboard.
