Mobile Learning from basic to mobile2.0
Inge de Waard
We are witnessing the dawn of the global knowledge and technology revolution!
Mobile technology is changing our lives and it does so for people all around the world.
mobiles are the computers of the future
Why is mLearning so appealing?
On-the-go: no place attached Anytime: no schedule, but your own Ubiquitous, it is omnipresent Just-in-time, when you need it Localized Informal and formal learning Connected to everyone
…. And it is possible all around the world
Mobile? Out is In
Your knowledge in your pocket for you to use when you want, wherever you are, … and you are no longer alone, it is US
Escaping the classroom will no longer be possible… well unless you switch it off…
Making mLearning look heavy:statistics and numbers

Where to start?
YOU CAN develop mobile projects 4 examples with different technologies
co design and co deploywith all stakeholders
Case 1: Telemedicine: peer to peer
discussion forum with mobile access
website
Starting from web-based contentUser created content + peer to peer knowledge exchange
Provide content which is cross media/platform
Think about copyright and disclaimers also between peers!
Know the needs that your learners face and adapt
Wimaxbluetooth
Some programming
Connect your mobile to a television set and use it as a desktop for bigger screen (this technology will be standardized in new mobile devices, you can even use it as a desktop check it out on another youtube movie, it is a brandname, sorry for the marketing)
CME for lifelong learning?
Keeping physicians in contact with peers will enhance knowledge exchange in priority settings (HIV/AIDS is increasingly spreading)
Getting the latest medical information out there is crucial
Adding CME modules to the Telemedicine website
CME keeps physicians on top of their speciality & if it is linked to the Telemedicine website =>
growing number of users
Feedback of the pilot group
Advantages They liked the relevant information that was brought to
them Learning at their own convenience Opened new ways of learning They felt connected with peers
Disadvantages Access was not ensured in the field and this could drain
the battery The screen was small for learning (in the older cell phone
types) Without electricity the battery can run out Graphics/tables sometimes unclear on small screens
Case 2: research based on simple data exchange: FAMACHA anaemia
analyze before setting up a mobile project
Target GroupBuild on what existsCost
incorporate all the stakeholders
SmsDelimiters
Sms: 8431,1,3,2,1,3,2,4,2
farmer cattle eye data
Assure benefits for all stakeholders
Mobile data connection: great for statistical, rural research!
Case 3: eSCART online courses
Different media suit different learners’ skills
Redesign existing strong projects only when this has a surplus!
eXelearning.orgJavascript
Html & CSS
Big mobile multimedia files? consider sending SDcards to learners to reduce download costs.

Make learning a multi-sensory experience
Natural Evolution HIV/AIDS
Screen capturing (captivate, camtasia)
Video editing (final cut, premiere)
Audio editing(audicity = free)
Asynchronous discussion +
Explore your (future) software
Mobile offline possibilities enabling multimedia courses.
Mobile = mp4 conversion so you have any video you want. Use cheap video converter software like AVS4you (39,95 EUR)
Connect your mobile to a television set and use it as a desktop for bigger screen (this technology will be standardized in new mobile devices, you can even use it as a desktop check it out on another youtube movie, it is a brandname, sorry for the marketing)
Solar panels are already out there.
Health care workers involved in HIV/AIDS care in Peru
20 Clinics in Department Capitals (urban and peripheral)
More than 70% of the national patients receive treatment on those selected health facilities
The selection was made working closely with the Ministry of Health
Case 4: Tibotec: mLearning2.0
Scenario in South America
Internet cafes
ADSLADSL
Mobile devices: localized solution
Pre-test (day 1)-access LCMS
( MLE Moodle)-via email -website
Clinical Case (day 3)-3d movies (podcast deliver using itunes)-Questions related with clinical case(start discussion forum Moodle)-Critical thinking
wifi
Send summary materialWebsite Link (day 11)Post-test (day 15)
Summary
Day 1: Pre-test with focus on this topic Day 3: Send Clinical case with questions and start discussionDay 10: Conclusion of clinical caseDay 11: Summary of module (articles and review) Day 15: Post-test
Example of clinical module
The mLearning tools used in this case
Wrap up: the mobile learning essence
Plan carefully before setting up a mobile project Explore the latest mobile world for ideas and possible
technical solutions Only start if you know a mobile project will make a
difference Incorporate all stakeholders from the start Understand the technical conditions your learners face
(and find solutions were needed) Keep the courses simple/intuitive, clear and fun Diversity in courses, fit different learning skills Engage the learner (interactivity, implement context as
much as possible, user generated context).
Mobile developing…. YES!
Go open source (free) and all the way:(for would-be mobile developers)
The W3C mobile web initiative: mobile web from W3CThe mobile validator, checking whether your mobile website
is accessibleDOM Compatibility - CSS Object Model View with different cell
phonesMobile web training from W3C (only 99$!)
More advanced: mobile2.0 messaging: funambol develop your own mobile apps with betavine or dev.mobi Other mobile programming:
Dotnet for mobile: free course; Linux for mobile: free course;
