This study designed learning activity to enhance students' cognitive processes. Students could learn in class and then apply and analyze new knowledge to solve daily life problems by taking pictures of learning objects in familiar authentic context, describing them, and sharing their homework with peers. This study carried out an experiment and it aimed to assess the effectiveness of learning activities supported by a mobile learning system on students' cognitive processes. Furthermore, this study explored what learning strategies experimental students use during learning and how frequently. This paper discusses results, research findings, and implications along with conclusions and several suggestions for future development and research. An appendix provides a table showing the different learning strategies employed by the students. [For the complete proceedings, see ED557181.]
