Abstract

M-Learning has better the e-learning by creation the wisdom method student centered. However, enforcing exam protection in open environments where each student has his/her own mobile/tablet device connected to a Wi-Fi network through which it is further connected to the Internet can be one of the most tough tasks. In such environments, students can easily swap information over the network during exam time. This paper aims to classify different vulnerabilities that may abuse exam security in m-learning environments and to propose the appropriate security services and countermeasures that can be put in place to ensure exam security. It also aims to amalgamate the resulting secure exam structure with an existing, open source and widely established Learning Management System (LMS) and its service extension to the m-learning environment, namely “the Moodbile Project”.
