    Abstract

    The limitation of teaching media that using current method such as book, white board, etc. now have a new problem to get student attention and interest to learn. Meanwhile, within the progress of electronic technology especially mobile device, enhanced access to any information for everyone. Therefore, in this research we like to integrated mobile based learning that cover any learner style (visual auditory kinaesthetic) so can improve student attention and interest to learn.

This application will give the information such as battle history, battle historical location information include location photo gallery and tagging information on a Google Map, video, sound, and quiz, to provide a thorough understanding of fascinating history from the events surrounding the battle. And to improve learning process for student and also for more interesting, this application also provides Global Positioning System (GPS) connection to get position of the user and using it to get direction to historical location using Google Map. This application will provide a list of locations that have been visited by the user (by GPS detector) that also unlocked a new feature of this application, so user not only read about the historic sites but also can explore all the historic sites in Surabaya and found fascinating city of Surabaya.
