  1. Interactive Digital TV learning and mobile learning –recentefforts Mr. Bruno Zuga, Dr. Atis Kapenieks,, Riga Technical University, LATVIA E-mail: bruno@rsf.rtu.lv, desc@rsf.rtu.lv IST4Balt Workshop, April 18, 2007 Riga, Latvia IST4Balt Workshop “Towards an Information Societyin the Baltic States”

  2. IST4Balt Workshop, April 18, 2007 Riga, Latvia Outline of the presentation • Why iDTV learning? Why now? • Why mobile learning? Why now? • Instructional television: History and lessons learned; • Mobile learning – a further development of e-learning • Recent projects at Riga Technical university • 6th Framework project Enhanced Learning Unlimited (ELU); • A national research project for mobile learning development (PUMPURS); IST4Balt Workshop “Towards an Information Societyin the Baltic States” IST4Balt Workshop “Towards an Information Society in the Baltic States” 27-31.08.2006 2

  3. Why iDTV learning? Why now? • There are successful existing TV programmes; • TV with remote control familiar and widely used tool; • TV is good at influencing peoples attitudes; • Household penetration of Digital TV is high in some EU countries and growing in others; • Ability to add limited interactivity via return channel; • Analogue switch-off for EU member states is scheduled for time period from 2007 to 2015 in EU member states; [1] eMobility - Mobile and Wireless Communications Technology Platform, Strategic Research Agenda Vision 4, November 23, 2005.

  5. History and lessons of TV based learning • Beginning in 1932 by State University Iowa • Research in Educational films since 1910 • Key advantages over film: • Ability to deliver audiovisual presentation over a distance; • Ability to reach masses widely and sometimes instantly. • Hundreds of millions spent on education television from 1950 to 1970 • Carnegie Commission in 1967 concludes: role of educational television minor one, reasons: • Mediocre quality, focus on presenting “talking heads”; • Unwillingness of teachers to TV in their classrooms • High cost of installation and maintenance of a television system • High cost of quality material production • Inability of television to support various learning scenarios (e.g. lack of interactivity) IST4Balt Workshop “Towards an Information Societyin the Baltic States”

  6. Overcoming TV limitations • Combination with other technologies telephone, fax, etc.; • VCRs allowed to do delayed video watching and re-watching; • Interactive support was added by the Internet. Content on the web site “allowed students to interact with the program in more meaningful way”; • Digital video recording and video compression standards; • Latest research show that mobile technologies can be used to effectively support iDTV interaction.

  7. Becoming Interactive • First interactive show “Winky Dink and You” in 1953 by CBS • In 1964 AT&T presents picture phone – two way audiovisual system • 1970s UK launches Videotex service combined television and telephone line – forerunner of online services • 1980s Qube by Warner Cable had STB provided two way interactivity – terminated – costs too high to produce interactive content • 1980s Indax and Time inc supported banking shopping and educational content. • 1980 an experimental project HI-OVIS carried out in Japan for setting up and mantaining analogue fibre optic system supporting two way interactivity.

  8. Why mobile learning? Why now? • EU policy has a strong vision “By the year 2020 mobile and wireless communications will play a central role in all aspects of European citizen lives” [1]; • Significant part of workforce is mobile; • Work becomes knowledge intensive; • Mobile device have outsold PCs three times; • Computing power of mobile units becomes comparable to desktop units of 7-10 years ago; • Mobile units becoming more and more affordable. • There is a growing interest on using mobile technologies in knowlemdge acquisition.

  9. What is mobile learning anyway? • Learning that takes place with help of mobile technologies • Any sort of learning when a learner is not at a fixed of predetermined location [2] • Often we see m-learning as a further development of technology enhanced learning.

  12. Availability of other types of wireless networks • According to the Forecast number of WiFi access points have exceeded 200 000 in the world; • Bluetooth is being built in nearly all mobile units sold today; • WiMax mobile and other wireless technologies (with certain advantages and disadvantages for learning) are soon to enter the wireless marketplace.

  13. Restrictions for mobile learning • Minimal possibilities for user terminal upgrade; • Connection problems (limited or expensive transfer of data); • Limited memory and processing power; • Data input problems; • Data display problems; • Limited time to work on a charged battery.

  14. 6th Framework Research Project - Enhanced Learning Unlimited (ELU) IST-4-027866 Overview of T-learning system IST4Balt Workshop “Towards an Information Societyin the Baltic States”

  15. PUMPURS - a national research project on m-learning services* • M-learning module delivery and exchange technologies • M-course organisation and distribution approaches • M-course design and development • Methodologies and technologies for collaborative learning and virtual workgroups • Knowledge creation models in a mobile Era • Platforms for m-learning in a mobile society Pētījumi m-studiju produktu un pakalpojumu izstrādei Latvija atbilstoši multimediju, telemātikas un telekomunikāciju attīstības līmenim“ (PUMPURS), VPD1/ERAF/CFLA/05/APK/2.5.1./000078/038 IST4Balt Workshop “Towards an Information Societyin the Baltic States”

  16. Conclusions • Both technologies are widely accessible and more widespread than PCs currently therefore can be used as a tools for social inclusion; • iDTV learning and m-learning could be used complementary for teaching and learning purposes; • Technologies can be integrated in course content delivery and interactivity provision building on their individual strengths; IST4Balt Workshop “Towards an Information Societyin the Baltic States”
