Anti-executive summary
• Which textbook company stocks to buy or dump? (Who’ll do the ebooks thing best?)
• Are students’ attention spans shorter now?• Are students’ brains being rewired?• Are students more narcissistic and more
indifferent to privacy?• What’s the matter with kids today?
(Or… Questions I cannot answer)
What I think I know about the rise of mobile learning
1. Mobile connectivity is changing social and information spaces by enhancing/enabling …– New access points to knowledge – Real-time information sharing– Just-in-time searches – Perpetual, pervasive awareness of social networks– Augmented reality
2. Ubiquitous small screens are changing attention and media zones (including text-based media!)
3. Mobile connectivity is changing public and private space/time continuum
4. New kinds of learners are emerging in dig. environ.
Networked creators among internet users• 65% are social networking site users• 55% share photos• 37% contribute rankings and ratings• 33% create content tags • 30% share personal creations • 26% post comments on sites and blogs• 15% have personal website• 15% are content remixers • 14% are bloggers• 13% use Twitter• 6% location services – 9% allow location
awareness from social media – 23% maps etc.
Social networks and social media become more important in people’s
learning strategies

1. Mobile connectivity is changing social and information spaces by enhancing/enabling:–New access points to knowledge
• E-books and the cloud• Conversation starter for internet use
and chatter–Real-time information sharing
• Opportunism and pain avoidance• “Hyper-coordination” of group activities
1. Mobile connectivity is changing social and information spaces by enhancing/enabling: – Just-in-time searches
• New “smarts”• New cognition
– Perpetual, pervasive awareness/access to social networks• Deeper connection and consultation• Incentive “to network” via social media
– Augmented reality• Merger of real world and data• New kinds of learning amplification
Continuous partial attention in “streams”
2. Ubiquitous small screens are changing attention and media zones (including text-based media!)
Immersive experiences and deep dives

3. Mobile connectivity is changing public and private space/time continuum
• More self directed, less top-down • Better arrayed to capture new information
inputs• More reliant on feedback and response• More inclined to collaboration • More open to cross discipline insights and
creating their own “tagged” taxonomies• More oriented towards people being their own
individual nodes of production
4. New kinds of learners are emerging in the digital environment
What is the future of knowledge?-- Shana Ratner (1997) “Emerging Issues in Learning Communities”
New: Learning as a process
Knowledge is objective and
certain
Old: Learning as transaction
Knowledge is subjective and
provisional
What is the future of knowledge?-- Shana Ratner (1997) “Emerging Issues in Learning Communities”
New: Learning as a process
Learners receive knowledge
Old: Learning as transaction
Learners create knowledge
What is the future of knowledge?-- Shana Ratner (1997) “Emerging Issues in Learning Communities”
New: Learning as a process
Knowledge is organized in stable, hierarchical
structures that can be treated
independently of one another
Old: Learning as transaction
Knowledge is organized “ecologically”-disciplines are integrative and
interactive
What is the future of knowledge?-- Shana Ratner (1997) “Emerging Issues in Learning Communities”
New: Learning as a process
We learn best passively, by listening and
watching
Old: Learning as transaction
We learn best actively doing and managing
our own learning
What is the future of knowledge?-- Shana Ratner (1997) “Emerging Issues in Learning Communities”
New: Learning as a process
Our “intelligence” is based on our
individual abilities
Old: Learning as transaction
Our “intelligence” is based on our
learning communities
