Definitions

• Mobile Learning was identified early on as an extension to e-learning that can be realized by the use of mobile computing devices (Quinn, 2000).

• Traxler (2009) simply refers mobile learning as “mobile e-learning” and is not adjoining of the two buzz words “mobile” and “learning”.


Definitions

• Mobile Learning means any sort of learning that happens when the learner is not at a fixed, predetermined location, or learning that happens when the learner takes advantage of the learning opportunities offered by mobile technologies (O’Malley et al., 2003).


Definitions

• The field of studying mobile learning is still nascent and will continue to develop itself into newer identity (Traxler, 2009), which is similarly described as only an evolutionary phase (Kukulska-Hulme, 2009). Traxler (2009) further supported the notion that mobile learning still has a blurred definition, one which may differ across different geographies, culture and in particular amongst the two distinct groups of “developed” and “developing” countries.

• The concepts of mobile learning therefore can be elucidated based on culture and affordances of mobile technologies

Q. how does that affect me


• mEducation will hit main stream


Key Trends

• The abundance of resources and relationships made easily accessible via the Internet is increasingly challenging us to revisit our roles as educators.

• Both formal and informal learning experiences are becoming increasingly important as college graduates continue to face a highly competitive workforce

• Education paradigms are shifting to include online learning, hybrid learning, and collaborative models

• Massively open online courses are proliferating

• Open is a key trend in future education and publication, specifically in terms of open content, open educational resources, massively open online courses, and open access.

UNESCO

• A popular definition of mobile learning is education that involves the use of mobile devices to enable learning anytime and anywhere. While this definition captures much of the essence of mobile learning, it requires two important clarifications. Discussions about mobile learning should: – 1) focus more on mobility and its unique affordances than

on technology per se; and

– 2) include questions about how mobile devices can support not only learning but also broad educational goals such as effective education administration and information management.

• BREAK TIME (5 mins)


BACKGROUND OF STUDY

•A study was conducted in HK with IVE •Online questionnaires

- 2010 June -2011 June - over 1150 was sent out Google forms with online questionnaire designed with a total of 10 questions - target: students studying in higher education

- Sample size = 204 - Response rate = around 17.7%

•Administered various semi-structured

interviews with students By Daniel Chun, 28/2/2013

DATA COLLECTION AND FINDINGS

•Separated into 2 parts

Part I – 7 questions - Using Likert scales of response - Explores the participants’ perceptions of Mobile Learning towards their learning environment and habits

Part II – 3 questions - Probe the preferences towards the use of Web 2.0 and Mobile technologies


Question 1 - only 1 person disagree - 94% agree that Mobile Learning is an effective method. Question 2 - only 2 person disagree - 96% agree that Mobile Learning can facilitate building new courses and learning objects

Question 3 - 28 persons (14%) disagree - Over 80% agree that Web 2.0 is useful for learning

Question 4 - 17 persons (8%) disagree

- Over 78% agree that Mobile Learning and Web 2.0 can make all test and assessment faster


Question 5

- 3 persons (1%) person disagree - Over 76% agree that Mobile Learning and Web 2.0 can improve communication

Question 6

- 204 (everyone) agree - 100% agree that Mobile Learning and Web 2.0 can make sharing-editing-collecting data quicker

Question 7

- Nobody disagree - Over 88% agree that Mobile Learning and Web 2.0 offers flexibility for learning anytime anywhere


Question 8

- Some of the above Web 2.0 features and technologies were prescribed to the respondents - Youtube (reading and writing) and Forums (discussion) are mostly used by students - Skype (collaborating, whiteboard) and RSS Feeds (reading) are rarely used by students


Question 9

- Not all students will pay or can afford mobile data plan - Use alternative mode of access: Wifi - Logically explained as HK students are given free student accounts to use one of the HK Public Wifi network operator - Campus-based, establishment-based, government Wifi hotspots are abundant in a metropolitan city like Hong Kong.


Question 10

- A marginal majority and clearly replacing textbook in the traditional sense is not immediate - Over 58% agree to use mobile device like iPad for reading textbooks - Christensen et al (2011) however had suggested the textbook publishing market is in the danger of being replaced by newer software platform and user-generated content - The analogy is the camera and film industry - The reading habits and use of text-book may not be displaced, but the form of consumption could be - Further work and on a monthly basis, the perception and adoption curve will change due to price By Daniel Chun, 28/2/2013

LIMITATIONS AND FUTURE STUDIES

Limitations

• Limited to studying one higher education college only

•Without knowing the detail demographics of the participants

Future Studies

• Currently going through the data collection coding phase of our constructivist approach of grounded theory – to develop a theory based on the experience of the students


CONCLUSIONS

• Conducted in Jun 2010, sampled 204 students aged over 18 studying full time at a higher education college.

• Reveals students strongly support the notion of mobile learning and using collaborative web 2.0 technologies for their learning

•More students are ready to use mobile devices for consuming reading of textbooks, and many of which participate in various discussion forum, blogging and video for learning purpose.


Common Traits of successful M-Learn

The mobile learning projects reviewed in this UNESCO paper share a number of strengths and innovative features that may be replicable in other countries or settings. These include: • 1. A well-planned project framework • 2. Multisector partnerships • 3. Local support to reinforce learning • 4. Cultural sensitivity and context considerations • 5. Rigorous curriculum mapping • 6. Instructional design specific to mobile technology • 7. Professional development opportunities • 8. Built-in incentives for teachers • 9. Voluntary knowledge-sharing and mentoring by project-trained educators • 10.Blended approach to content delivery • 11.Appropriate technology, rather than newest technology • 12.Immediate feedback • 13.Flexibility of downloading-on-demand • 14.Technical support • 15.Built-in monitoring and evaluation • 16.Attention to project costs and sustainability • 17. Advocacy and social mobilization

– It even allows you to save in Adobe’s own cloud

– Much better mobile learning experience

– Local copy, cloud stored copie(s), home PC / NB copy


Bring Your Own Device

• Popular, high adoption brings issues – Distractions

– Standards vs Open

• Alberta Canada’s Education Department has a guidline for BYOD

• Developed Country – HK, USA, Europe with high mobile penetration

• K-12, Enterprise, Higher Education


Questions to ask yourself ?

• Which area of the “education” should I apply M-Learning ?

• What devices should I support ?

• How should I design M-learning content ?

• Does it really work ?

• Is it sustainable ? Adoption

• Which software / app / platform ?


Which area will you apply MLEARN


Case 1 : content and database

Put your thinking hat please

• 10 minutes, please formed a small group of 3 persons (next to you)

• Quickly discuss amongst the 3 and come up with your group’s choice

• And explain to everyone why you choose that area to apply MLEARN


• Identify a need, a pain point for the students, the administrator, the course developers

• Tell us which area of the framework will you implement a Mobile Learning.

• And tell us the sampled


• Participants now present / discuss

– Your Mobile Learning project

– Others to take note

– Now vote


• Voting time

• Have you look at iClass from HKU / Cyberport to be implemented ?


Now watch this video


Future of Mobile Learning

• The future of devices will look to even more personal and more connected.
