Learning with mobile devices is different
Part 1 – Releasing human ingenuityPart 2 – Learning from learners Part 3 – Imagining new models for learning

“Every other author may aspire to praise; the lexicographer can only hope to escape reproach.”
- Samuel Johnson, A Preface to A Dictionary of the English Language, 1755
Personal experience
Does this apply to advocates of the use of short messages and bite-size content in mobile learning?

Part 2:
The changing learner…
& learners as agents of change
![Page 11: The Mobile Mind Inaugural lecture](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062514/558447ecd8b42af85e8b47ca/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Interviewer: How did you feel when you found out we would be sending out PDAs to students on H802?
Student: I was delighted because it was validating personal practice…
Prior to the use of the Palm M105, I had a web clipping application which I used to download the online Study Guide.
When I was out and about, I would have the whole Study Guide on my Palm Pilot, which I thought was brilliant.

What language learners (tell us they) want
E.g.• facilities to capture their attempts at communicating in a
foreign language• opportunities to find mobile study-buddies • gaming style applications• augmented reality • formal and informal learning combined in a cyclical way
