Mobile Learning, COVID-19 Prevention, Public Health, Personalized Learning MaterialsAbstract
In recent years, due to the explosion of COVID-19, people's expectation for accessing personalized learning resources anytime and anywhere has become stronger. The features of m-learning such as accessibility and personalization greatly satisfy people's needs and are therefore widely used. In this paper, a study was conducted to investigate and analyze how m-learning can help prevent COVID-19. The study shows that m-learning can help disseminate outbreak-related messages and provide people with personalized knowledge, so that it can enhance public health and community safety. While there are still many challenges, m-learning remains a valuable tool for preventing and mitigating the spread of COVID-19 globally, and provides a solid reference for deepening m-learning development in the future.
