It's Not eLearning On A Phone - 0 views

    This article delves into an interesting idea that reminds the reader that we must not treat mobile learning as anything we have seen before. To get the most out of this technology, we must see it as something completely new. We will probably end up changing the way we do things, but, in the end, it will be much more useful and helpful for the students.

Literature Review in Mobile Technologies and Learning - 0 views

  •  
    This is an older document on mobile learning discussing the potential of technology in the classroom. While there is no date pertaining to the publication of this document, I do not see any citations which date beyond 2003. This can be an interesting reference to look at while we ourselves are in the heart of the mobile learning age, while the authors of this are only looking at how it might be used.

What are the benefits of a virtual laboratory for student learning? - 0 views

  •  
    In reading this article I discovered some of the negative traits of virtual labs. Obviously it is not as hands on as a traditional lab. This may be an issue for some of the more visual learners. There can also be time and place restrictions when it comes to the virtual labs.

Virtual labs vs. Traditional labs - 0 views

  •  
    I found it interesting to read about the two being compared. Of course there are always going to be benefits to participating in the traditional lab, new advances in technology have made it easy to replicate doing the same thing without some extra costs. In a virtual lab there is no set up or cleaning up after, students can repeat the experiment more than one time, and it is a lot more cost effective. These are just a few topics that the site focusses on that I found useful.

Virtual Labs - 0 views

  •  
    This article discuses many of the advantages to using a virtual lab rather than going through the motions of a traditional lab. Virtual labs are generally less expensive, allowing more schools to benefit their students. The labs have also been shown to help explain the process and science behind the lab in a understandable way to students trying to learn. Although it does mention that virtual labs should not be completely take over. The article says that these labs should really be used to "enforce" the information.
