Topic: Mobile- and Microlearning

» Can learning be fostered through mobile information snippets? «


Mobile learning - problems…Where does learning take place?In your brain and your body…your body is very mobile…so Mobile learning is a label people accept ONLY BECAUSE they have been glued against their willto tables and classrooms by formal educational settings FIRSTand THEN voluntarily because of networked desktop-computers

What is it?


now everyone is happy that there is the PROMISE to be mobile again while learning

WHICH is the NATURAL STATE of learning anyway

but still… networked media has enormous promiseto be integrated into our learning processes

let‘s define mobile learning learning with networked sub-netbook devices

What is it?


microlearning = small information snippets < 5 min time

2 associations come to my mind- Fast Food- Skinner and his programmed instruction

mobile = on the go, short „bursts“ of learning snippetse.g. learn 5 words of Italian every day while commuting

BUT that‘s not the GAME CHANGING type of learningassociated with mobile learning

What is it?


Problems


How does it look like?


How do we create it?


EduPunk or EduHackr?

I was thinking about the term „EduPunk“I think that Punk and Education isnot going together in any way

To me EduPunk seems to originfrom William Gibsons „Neuromancer“ CyberPunks…

Punk rock: DIY, anti-establishment,don‘t try to make money


EduPunk or EduHackr?

EduHackr: a person hacking his wayinto information resources normally notavailable to him, misusing technologyto support his own learning, rewiring learning resources, create interestingstuff by combining technology (seeMAKE magazine for „mainstream“hacking culture) .
