  7. Types of Mobile Learning

  8. Individual Mobile Learning • Original course work: usually in some combination of text, audio, and visual components. • Skill practice: writing drafts of papers, recording oral practicing of everything from vocabulary practices to speeches. • Research: using Internet access to find source content. • Content capture: taking notes, recording audio/visual content.

  9. Peer-to-Peer or Peer-to-Instructor • Posting questions or work products on shared websites, sending files to peers or instructors. • Sending emails, texts to peers or instructors to get fast answers to questions, checking on assignments, setting up meetings.

  10. Group Sharing Mobile Learning • Using social networking sites/shared websites to collaborate with others anywhere in the world.

  11. Mobile Myths • Mobile devices have screens too small to allow for learning • There are no consistent standards for mobile learning • Mobile devices are unsuitable for learning as they are a distraction • Mobile learning is just ‘learning on the move’ • Students with disabilities cannot use mobile devices for learning

  12. Mobile Myths (2) • Mobile learning means content delivered in bite-sized chunks • Young people already know how to use mobile devices for learning • Mobile devices cannot be relied upon for learning as they are likely to be lost, broken or stolen • Content on mobile devices cannot be as secure as on desktop computers • Mobile learning is an expensive option

  18. Case Studies

  19. Case Study • Class Level: Freshmen / Sophomores • Course: Academic Writing • Objectives: • Create videos showing main elements that are important for the Lebanese Identity • Description: • Groups of 5 • Act out the differences and pay attention to the props they use (clothing, settings, language, body language…) • Videotape • Share on Moodle • Challenges: • Time to train on logistics • Time to prepare videos • Internet Connections and Video size

  20. Final Recommendatins • Provide clear explanations of technologies learners are expected to use (support available and educational benefits) • Ensure essential course information and learning resources are available via the VLE (expected by learners as a minimum) • Offer ‘tasters’ of potentially innovative learning activities that learners can try online • Explore what colleagues are doing to ensure a level of consistency for learners in their experience of technology • Treat new technologies as an opportunity to share skills (some learners may be highly proficient while others are unsure) • Recognise that how the use of technology is explained to learners is of critical importance
