In addition to its mobile-interfacewebsite, online tutorials are also made accessible through mobile as well as handheld devices. In other words, UT students can literally study through their mobile devices from thevery first activity of registering for courses, paying the tuition fee, obtaining digital learning materials, accessing the digital library, reading online journals, as well as participating in online tutorials.With the continuous development of increasingly sophisticated smartphone technologies, it is important for UT to continuously improve its online learning system. The development of UT’s mobile learning, which was started in 2013, has gone through several phases.
