Key mission of the PfPC ADL WG ADLCapabilityBuilding Methods &Experience e-LearningContent Cooperation& Sharing Open-SourceTools
Current open-source tools Est. developmentvalue* for open-sourcetoolsavailableforfree: > 10 M USD (*Core investment in the ILIAS LMS madeby non-PfPCparties) • Free open-source ILIAS LMS(Used by > 10 organizations in NATO countries, including ACT) • Free open-source ILIAS SCORM Editor • Free open-source multimedia Slideshow Editor • Free Content Production Process Kit for training
Desktop Browser Planned Sitting Straight Clean Desk Training and ADL today
Well supported by SCORM Established ADL Practice in Security and Defense Organizations • Mostly learning facts • Content centric • Multimedia • Summative assessment
The world is changing … «Mobile Only Generation»
The world is changing … For Fun No Desk Spontane New Standards?> Project TinCan Quick Messy Always online (almost) Mobile Relaxed No Laptop
New tools for a mobile world • Access to reference material and practice items • Good vehicle for ADL anytime and anywhere. But: Traditional ADL content won’t work 1:1! • Built-in communication, GPS, camera etc.Huge potential for new training scenarios! • Mobile in many countries better than landlines!
Real Time Strategic Information • Security issues become of wider concern • Need for timely and contextualized data • Wisdom of the crowd
Mobile ADL Initiative ADL Mobile Learning Handbook Judy Brown & Jason Haag (2011) Primary Focus • Technology adoption • Devices • Technology constraints • Content adaptation http://www.adlnet.gov/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/MLHandbook20110809.pdf
Mobile Research at ISN Project 2012 • Literature/internet research on mobile learning technology and trends • International survey on mobile learning readiness in defense and security organizations • Prototyping of tool and content demonstrator • Research report
Goal of the Survey Key Question What are the key mobile technologies for ADL in security and defense organizations for the next 5-10 years? Roadmap Develop a roadmap for effective use of mobile technologies for ADL in security and defense organizations.
Research Challenges for Mobile Learning (Börner et al. 2010, Glahn & Specht, 2011)
Predicting the Future in Security and Defense Organizations • Technology Forecasting • Technology adoption todayExtent of technology awareness and usage by members of organizations of all ranks! • Organizational readinessConditions for using a technology in an organization
From Research to Practice AppliedResearch/Prototypes “real”ADL Products Organizational Practice(integrated) 5-10 Years Depending on the Organizational Readiness
Underlying study model Measuring Organizational Readiness
We are going to ask … 1/2 • Demographics (age, country, rank) • Branch (Land, Sea, Air, Administration) • Device ownership and use • General attitudes towards • Learning • Mobility • Using Mobile devices • Personal and organizational technology adoption
We are going to ask 2/2 Mobile learning aspects • Access to learning • Personalization • Orchestrating mobile learning • Contextualization • Documenting learning • Collaboration These help to answer: When can we expect our organizations being ready for these aspects?
Research needs data http://www.flickr.com/photos/nelsonrico/3798180940
This is how you may support our research • Survey in English and German ready to launch on SurveyMonkey in two weeks (other languages on demand) • Organizations to communicate link and support survey via training website and/or LMS. The more data, the better! • You will get a link + a text to communicate the survey • The survey will be strictly anonymous.
This is what your organization will get • Detailed results for your country (organization) • Draft of the final report The results will support you in your strategic planning of mobile learning activities.
