This paper highlights a system and method of bringing an integrated platform for real time teaching of various courses, innovations, designing products, and to extend the mobile education with a practical approach in assorted research and technical education domains. My SmartPhone Kit has been designed and developed for the purpose of learning, developing, and experimenting basic concepts of various courses such as mobile communication, sensor networks, embedded systems, mobile architecture, and programming, etc. Different workshops were conducted in 2015–2016 to evaluate the need of a practical approach and to experience the user satisfaction with the overall methodology of My SmartPhone kit. These workshops comprises the set of theory classes for understanding the basic concepts of various courses, practical sessions, experimental demos by the resource staff, product idea session, real time product development with the kit, and feedback analysis session. This paper focuses on the design of the kit, its implementation, methodology, novelty, and outcomes achieved through it. The analysis is carried through a case study presenting a total of six different workshops at four different institutes during 2015–2016. The findings reveal that maximum number of participants have been satisfied with the overall methodology of My SmartPhone Kit and adopted the same for teaching and learning.
