Enabling Mobile Learning (EDUCAUSE Review) | EDUCAUSE - 0 views

  • 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.
  • ...8 more annotations...
  • 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.

Mobile Learning is Beyond its Tipping Point by Gerry Griffin : Learning Solutions Magazine - 2 views

  • In this market growth phase, instructional designers and managers, as well as vendors, need to identify and understand the critical success factors that will make mobile learning an everyday practice
  • And it is content — content fit for the mobile learning purpose — that will drive market growth
  • mobile learning is employing a device in a way that improves productivity
  • ...14 more annotations...
  • we need to design and deliver content to play across any mobile device, giving them just enough information, at just the right time, anywhere they choose to work
  • there are two types of user for mobile learning — the “considered” user and the “trigger” user.
  • The considered user downloads and views learning material, on their regular commute for example, in the same way they would read a business book. They actively contemplate the material and adopt a reflective frame of mind in order to take a close look at their job
  • onsidered learners, mobile learning is as a refresher of things they learned in a more extended formal training event, including face-to-face training (as Figure 1 suggests), synchronous e-Learning, asynchronous e-Learning, or even study of printed information.
  • hey actually would like to have specific top-of-mind and refresher learning “on-demand” minutes or even seconds before they will need to use it. This indicates that learning should not be days or even hours long but broken down into “nano” blocks of learning.

      A necessidade de informação na hora, em vez de longo períodos de espera ou overload!
  • For trigger users the mobile device can act as a retriever for procedural memory
  • Examples would be running a creative meeting or induction of new employee, or a more complex skill such as restructuring a team
  • These moments are the optimum times to get new or refresher content. Our aim is to facilitate this, to enable people to make the most of those key inflection points.
  • This change in how we can use mobile devices to access training-on-the-go
  • We no longer need all the applications loaded on our hard drive. Instead we can use the mobile device to call down the content as and when we need it.
  • A mobile device is a smart way of retrieving what you have learned, especially close to the time when you need to apply it
  • The videos can be accessed via intranet, Web, and mobile phone networks, giving learners the ability to pull down content when and wherever they need it, and in a format that is meant for use on the go
  • Mobile learning won’t ever replace other venues for training, but the technology, and more importantly the content, can be used to make it so much more effective.

      excelente conclusão!
  • The trigger user responds to contextual situations that require action. The number of trigger users seen in organizations has been increasing in recent years. They tend to be pressed for time. They check and send e-mails as they walk down the corridor between meetings. The mobile device is both the symptom as well as the potential cure for this type of user.

Apple's iPad: What does it offer for e-Learning? by Bill Brandon : Learning Solutions M... - 0 views

  • 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
  • ...6 more annotations...
  • 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
