Today was the first full day of the mLearning MOOC. I’ve had mixed success. A MOOC is attended by a global audience. Not all webinars will coincide with ones time zone. I for example would have had to be awake at 2 am for the opening session and skip work in mid afternoon for the second. Synchronous learning does have its problems. Which brings me to today’s question: what is mobile education?
On this day an attempt was made by MOOC attendees to define mobile learning. Difficulties were encountered in no time – the semantics became convoluted as we tried to accommodate aspects of technology, mobility and learning.
My conclusion is that “mobility” is best defined in reference to the learner, not the devices. Mobility in learning is independence from traditional structures of education. This new model allows self paced, self prescribed curriculum that is accessed at the time and place decided by the learner. The devices used are ancillary here, merely the means to an end.
