DMLRid – An XML-Based Proof-of-Concept Mobile DRM Framework for Sharing Learning Contents among Mobile Networks
Keywords:
Digital rights management, mobile learning; XML, multimedia, proof of concept, content provider.Abstract
This paper proposes a framework that helps in
closing the gap that exists between the mobile learning
environment and students’ everyday use of mobile devices. This
new framework for Digital Rights Management in systems for
mobile learning enhances the ability to define, manage, and
share the licensed learning multimedia content among different
mobile networks. The major strength of the proposed
framework is to position the role of the university in the
m-learning value chain as a policy setter, not an implementer.
The new framework introduces a new approach that while the
university may have a Web portal page for mobile learning
material, it should not host or provide the complete delivery
service. Instead, the university should let the content providers
handle that role. Recognizing the fact that a single licensing
authority is not obtainable in the near future, we proposed a
new object repository for storing the information needed by a
specific university – Digital Mobile Learning Rights Depository
(dMLRiD) consisting of two databases, Rights and Data
Depository with appropriate standard interfaces. This
framework allows for a possibility that multiple University
Data Depositories for mobile learning may exist, our proposed
framework is flexible enough to allow different
implementations.
