  • Technologies currently being researched for mobile learning include:

      I am interested to see what the future holds for mobile learning.  Some of these technologies being researched seem like they could be especially useful.  For example, I believe that games and simulation for learning on mobile devices would be something I would like to see.

  • While many think of mobile learning as delivering eLearning on small form factor devices, or often referred to as eLearning “lite”, it has the potential to do much more than deliver courses, or parts of courses. It includes the use of mobile/handheld devices to perform any of the following: Deliver Education/Learning Foster Communications/Collaboration Conduct Assessments/Evaluations Provide Access to Performance Support/Knowledge Capture Evidence of Learning Activity

      There are so many aspects of mobile learning. At first you might not think that something as small as a smartphone could be used for an entire class, but they can actually be used for a number of things including conducting assessments, fostering communication, and even delievering whole lessons.

  • Using the communication features of a mobile phone as part of a larger learning activity (e.g.: sending media or texts into a central portfolio, or exporting audio files from a learning platform to your phone)
    • Stephanie Williams
       
      I find the potential of a communication feature in mobile learning to be one of the most interesting things.  If students are able to receive messages aboout different concepts that they learned in class, or even reminders about assignments, I think they could be more likely to be engaged by the material and participate in the class.

      I think that tools like this that can be used on the iPad are going to be the future of education.  The teacher can create all differernt kinds of course materials and each student can have it right in front of them.  This would give students the ability to access all course materials in one place, and at any time.

One Year or Less: Mobiles « 2011 Horizon Report - 10 views

  • The number of mobile devices produced and purchased each year continues to grow, and the new devices like the iPad and its counterparts are expanding our notions of portability. With increased screen real estate, battery life, and input options, these new mobile devices have rapidly become a viable alternative to heavier, more expensive laptop computers
    • Stephanie Williams
       
      It isn't surprising that the number of smartphones and tablets being sold is increasing.  The portability of these devices makes them easy to carry and easy to use almost anywhere.  I believe that as the number of smartphones and tablets being sold continues to increase even more, they will become a bigger part of every aspect of our lives, including education.

  • Reference applications assist students studying chemical formulae, allowing them to review and take notes on what they learn, visualize 3D structures, see the reactions taking place

      I believe that this is a great exanple of how tablets could be used to enhance learning in high schools. Chemistry is a course that includes a lot of information and I believe that being able to review and visualize aspects of the course could be very helpful.

  • Tasks that once were gathered into a single piece of software — the web browser — are now distributed among many specialized (and optimized) applications.
    • Stephanie Williams
       
      Applications have made it possible to do almost anything on a smartphone or tablet. Instead of just being able to browse the internet, you can download an application for what you specifically want to do.  This could change the way we do many things.
