This paper presents a mobile learning platform (MLP) connected to a Moodle course management system build, using the Java2 Micro Edition (J2ME), developed in our Mobile Multimedia and Wireless Communication Lab (MMWCL). The MLP uses wireless communications (Bluetooth, WI-FI, WIMAX) to connect with the Moodle server. Later, after the connection is established with the server, the J2ME application will be able to provide the user with a bundle of services. These services include grades, course schedules, attendance records, course announcements, and university activities, as well as quality assessments.
