Mobile learning has come of age. After promising much, but delivering little, there are now m-learning models educators can use to enhance the learning our students undertake. M-learning gives educators options to enrich the educational experience, while blending with existing flexible learning methods and face-to-face strategies.
Unshackling ourselves from buildings and computer screens gives our students the opportunity to "snack on study". Using a mode of transmission that is our students choice, allows us to engage them with learning on their terms. From the iPod to the cell phone, students are using small and powerful devices that have great educational potential. We must now take the learning out of the classroom and allow our students to "study anywhere".
This presentation will give an overview of the current m-learning landscape and suggest ways educators can merge "mobile" into their learning environment. Initial findings from the StudyTXT.com trial project will be shared with the group.
