The advance of wireless and mobile technology introduces a new type of Video-On-Demand (VOD) systems, namely the mobile VOD systems that provide VOD services to mobile clients anytime and anywhere.
VOD services to mobile clients, have found many practical applications. For example, airlines can now provide VOD services in airport lounges to entertain the waiting passengers on their laptops or PDAs. Universities can install mobile VOD systems that allow students to watch important video lectures anywhere anytime on campus.
The project aim is to develop a usable, low cost and effective mobile video on demand system, that is beneficial in many aspects e.g. M-learning.
People want "anytime, anywhere" connections more than ever before. They demand more: Information, Performance Support, Training, Education, Resources and Assets
M-learning could be instrumental in increasing learning flexibility by customizing learning to be a more personalized and learner-centered activity. Personalization is a key component of M-learning for two reasons. First, the difficulty of navigation and small screen size of mobile devices means that it is important to target learning material as much as possible.
Second, such targeting is easier for enrolment based services like education, where the provider is likely to be able to gather considerable information about learners and construct accurate profiles of their activities and requirements
