MiLK is a Mobile Learning Kit that connects students and teachers through simple and effective technology and pushes the boundaries of the teaching and learning beyond the classroom into the other environments students inhabit both now and in the future. Teachers can now design everyday learning activities using mobile phones and the internet. For students this makes events such as excursions, group discussions, and questionnaires all the more engaging. Using MiLK students can create their own learning profiles, discuss topics with other students and teachers, share ideas, photos, comments, and most importantly, design their own learning events. MiLK is an interface that allows educators and students to design event paths that lead people through places with the use of a mobile phone. The event paths consist of a number of checkpoints at which the event player must SMS an answer before they are directed to the next checkpoint. An event path can be designed to meet specific learning outcomes for any subject or any location. The interface also enables player reflection and assessment functions. MiLK: # Is simple, flexible, scalable and adaptive # Extends learning experiences to include other environments locally, globally, and virtually # Promotes new and effective learning partnerships between students, teachers and families. # Offers opportunities for personalised learning # Inspires students to engage in learning # Engages students in multi-literacies # Results in increased teacher confidence and professional development
