Transcript of Meet Rebecca - a grassroots effort to incorporate mobile learning
Meet Rebecca
She manages some projects and initiatives …from her cube
Her day is busy with meetings, conference calls and project tasks
One day Rebecca was asked to help a DAU initiative moveforward …
What was it?
“Create a mobile strategy for DAU”
Rebecca asked around …
People were already doing mobile “stuff” on their own
She gathered them together
…to share their ideas, strategies and experiments.
She asked a team member about social media - he was a “social media guru”
He set up an online space for the new mobile working group
People started sharing their thoughts and experiments in that space (SocialText)
…another team member decided to create a logo for the effort.
Others started joining the conversation…
…based upon personal interest in mobile
…and the experiments began
An experiment: A few team members created a
mobile solution for a Blackberry
They posted their experiment
on SocialText
Team members saw the link and tried it out
Result:It worked on
their phones too!
They posted their comments in the team space on SocialText …including what didn’t work.
Rebecca realized that the team was gaining lessons learned by….Sharing Collaborating Experimenting …in person and in SocialText
She worried less about accomplishing the task because of all the talented people involved
…they were motivated to share, collaborate and experiment
Results?
…the team continues to grow
…experiments turn into actual new products available to the acquisition
workforce
….people are excited to share what they are working on
…other DAU faculty and staff want to join in and share their experiments
…undiscovered talents and capabilities revealed through collaboration
Rebecca is seeing great results on the mobile project…so, she is using it for other projects
…and now others are to!
