Pragmatic tips for developing mLearning projects...

While what the author suggested is a simple start, it is a bad one for the long run. Why? It replicates exactly what you can already do more logically and perhaps more easily in other platforms. It's best to have the change in pedagogy or strategy in mind when designing apps or creating an m-learning system. Our mission is to leverage on learning outside the classroom, on the move or in more meaningful contexts.

Thanks for the tip, Dr Ashley!

I tried testing this feature for my sample e-portfolio on my iPhone. Looks promising...

Remote access to your computer system using mobile devices.

Give spashtop 2 and touchpad a try... I found them fast and useful. Especially touchpad... allows me to control my mac/win with my iphone.

Hi Eveleen, I think this may be very useful for us in making it easier to manage our growing collection of Apple devices.

It is a building block plugin for Blackboard Learn LMS which provides statistical and analytical data about the system. The software reports live activity data and creates historical graphs. The reports are available through the browser or via mobile app on the iPhone and Android.

Do we have this? Does Lum know?

For the MDs

Here's another one for the MDs

The new Camtasia Studio 8 allows quizzes and hotspots to be added in the video. Camtasia interactive videos can also be played on iPhone with TechSmith's Smart Player.

A good alternative to replace Captivate production on e-lecture.

I've been thinking. If the highest level of e-learning is augmentation of existing teaching and learning capabilities, then why not investigate cloud supercomputers - the logical extrapolation of today's cloud computing. Imagine the learning possibilities if students could easily run simulations using real-world data to investigate real-world phenomena or even social ones, to see what would happen if you tweaked certain environmental / historical conditions. Then teachers could use the various simulated outcomes as a starting point for discussion purposes - e.g. if everyone on earth had a car, what would happen to the earth's temperatures in the next few years? and then ask further questions from there using fundamental principles. Less time spent on tedious models, and more time spent observing systems interactions, may help make the next generation of It sounds like a very high-level concept, but I think a practical example is when I used the speech-to-text convertor feature of an English dictionary app on my iPhone to help a boy learn how to pronounce words correctly. It turned a boring dictionary into a fun interactive game for him, and he learnt a few new words along the way. Just some food for thought this holiday season. Merry Christmas!

note the different in the viewport size for ios5 is different. take note if you are developing for ios5 platform

Great stuff

Instead of a compass telling you exactly which direction to go, it acts as a facilitator, allowing you to work out your own route - and discover new things along the way. This can serve as a metaphor for our 21st-century style of facilitated and directed e-learning. How can we use and even reverse the default affordances of a mobile phone to enhance exploratory and creative learning? Based on the above reflection, here's one random idea for stimulating creative learning using mobile apps: - Language: As you walk along a path, the phone automatically generates a "cloud" of words extracted from geolocated tweets associated with the location that you are currently on, and invites you to contribute your own tweets about your own location.
