  • The mobile revolution is finally here. Wherever one looks, the evidence of mobile penetration and adoption is irrefutable: cell phones, PDAs (personal digital assistants), MP3 players, portable game devices, handhelds, tablets, and laptops abound. No demographic is immune from this phenomenon. From toddlers to seniors, people are increasingly connected and are digitally communicating with each other in ways that would have been impossible to imagine only a few years ago
  • Why Not Mobile for Learning?
  • Using portable devices to support teaching and learning is not a new concept in educational circles.

  • The heightened interest in mobile possibilities for teaching, learning, and research can be attributed to a number of factors: the continuing expansion of broadband wireless networks; the explosion of power and capacity of the next generation of cellular telephones; and the fact that mobile telephones, a familiar tool for communications, are already fully ingrained in contemporary life as part of our social practice
  • As a result, U.S. educators are finding themselves in the awkward position of knowing that the mobile revolution is coming, without really being able to imagine what it’s going to look like or what the possibilities for mobile learning may be.
  • mobile learning represents the next step in a long tradition of technology-mediated learning. It will feature new strategies, practices, tools, applications, and resources to realize the promise of ubiquitous, pervasive, personal, and connected learning. It responds to the on-demand learning interests of connected citizens in an information-centric world.
  • t also connects formal educational experience (e.g., taking a class, attending a workshop, or participating in a training session) with informal, situated learning experience (e.g., receiving performance support
  • The success of mobile learning will ultimately revolve around a mosaic of rich converged experiences. These experiences will rest, in turn, on a foundation of converged network and device technologies, wireless services, rights management, content management, search management, and transactional processing power. Successful mobile learning will demand a rich presentation layer that runs efficiently on a variety of platforms and a variety of form factors.
  • First, there are more wireless networks, services, and devices than ever before.Today’s wireless communications industry is in global growth mode
  • Second, consumers are demanding better mobile experiences than ever before. In reflecting on what makes an experience great, Kevin Mullet has noted that other things being equal, we want our experiences to be as vivid—as immediate, direct, and engaging to our senses—as possible.
  • Third, people want "anytime, anywhere" connections more than ever before.Demands for information, performance support, instruction, training, and education are being shaped by people who want access to resources, assets, program, and people when and where they need those connections most.

  • This means that, because of the bigger display, it is potentially a better platform for mobile learning than the iPhone or the iPod Touch, although the iPad (like the iPod and iPhone) does not support Flash.
  • This is all good for asynchronous e-Learning
  • Synchronous e-Learning on the iPad as shown today presents some problems. To begin with, there is no camera, so the virtual classroom is likely to be an audio-only experience

  • Because the iPad does incorporate a microphone and speakers, learners should be able to conference via Skype or Google Voice. Sooner or later, an enterprising developer will come up with a whiteboard app. Interestingly, Apple has a patent for a multimedia conference system that appears to be applicable to the iPad
  • The iPad can also support classroom instruction and performance support. It can display HD video. It has video out via the dock connector, so an instructor can display Keynote presentations from the iPad alon
  • added a potential new platform for mobile learning, for social networking, and for content creation in Weblogs and wikis. It also provides content creators with another channel for interactive applications
  • Significant deficiencies for e-Learning on the iPad include the absence of a camera and the continued lack of support for Flash
  • who already own an iPhone, iPod Touch, or netbook will decide that the iPad is redundant – that their current device(s) already does everything the iPad does
  • it is too big to fit in a pocket, it is too small to be a practical laptop replacement, and it lacks a telephone
