Mobile Learning in Australia and Malaysia: Towards Collaboration



Developing a Mobile Learning Evaluation Framework

Current mobile learning initiatives are piecemeal and poorly implemented

Though there are some partial frameworks, none as comprehensive as the one we’re working on

Technology independent

A big multi-disciplinary team …

Issues in evaluating

Barriers to implementing

Mobile learning is viewed as out of place in education and potentially disruptive

Currently a lack of education policies and support structures that acknowledge and embrace its potential

Costs of mobile devices are viewed as obstacles yet institutions are slow to implement BYOD policies

There is a lack of training and support for educators considering implementing mobile learning

Lack of high-quality education content and interactive solutions that are readily available for use

Characteristics of mobile learning

Fixed learning Static classroom Leave your community

Delayed Absent Teacher centred Not responsive to a need Controlled Regulated by someone else Uncomfortable Content consumption Stagnant / Rigid Boooooring Individualistic / independent / isolated Standardised No access to resources / closed / not Disconnected – offline Spoon feeding

Occasional reality Traditional / transmissive?

Devices

Situational Learning Anywhere Within your community instead of needing

When you need to stay put Immediate Availability Student Centred Responsive to a need Autonomous Self-regulated Comfortable Content creation – some form? Adaptive Fun Collaborative Personal Access to resources Connected Discovery?

Issues and barriers to mobile learning 3 groups

Issues and challenges Presumption students good at social media – can

be translated into a study desk environment – skills? --- Translate into the classroom and into learning.

Collaboration or collusion – sage on the stage not all teachers comfortable with becoming

facilitator and relinquishing control – use digital literacies of students to support other students

TIME & effort Not that easy to figure out – students are not

always plug and play – instructions & training –

Learning anywhere anytime depends on the type of knowledge you are trying to learn – what type of content appropriate for mobile

Not sufficient facilitation for students in discussions in online environments

Students don’t know until they are assessed – if they are interpreting it the right way?

Transactional design – integrated with learner design – more attracted to content design according to what learner wants - Using the features of what learners want

What is mobile?

What should you consider before moving into this space?

What are people using already?

Smart phones? Mp3 players? iPads? Tablets? eReaders?

Consider …

Experiences need to be streamlined if using mobile technologies

Need a clear set of tasks Watch a video Visit a webpage Respond to a comment

Activity 1: Great literature

Activity 2: Great literature reprised

Aw, Lennie. First you squash the mouse and now you’ve gone and squashed the girl. I’m gonna have to kill you.” “What about the rabbits? (135 characters)

Activity 3: Literature again …

Can’t replicate systems …

Making existing systems mobile means they will lose richness of features

Formatting for content on the move; is your content concise and easy to read?

But … Is being mobile about doing … or reading? Commenting Photographing Speaking Viewing Messaging

If you’re not in the office …

Considering video and audio delivery to boost interest …

What will people need on the move? It’s not about what you can keep, but what you can lose …

Just what I need and nothing else

The future for mobile learning …
