Welcome
Designing multimedia learning resources and learning objects (RLO-CETL)
For web and mobile phones
Structure on-site and off-site learning
See http://www.rlo-cetl.ac.uk/index.htm

During this hands-on session
we will be : 1 . Looking at the rationale behind developing learning objects for mobile phones.
2. Getting you to try four prototypes under development.

Developing Learning Objects for the Mobile Phone
Why develop for mobiles:
a. User centred: Time and place to suit the user
b. Ubiquitous. 98% students own/use a mobile
c. Students used to the phone, dexterity
d. Preferred learning device: Students keen to use. Always on – make use of down time.
e. Allows communication, group work

Developing Learning Objects for the Mobile Phone
Designing for the mobile:
Audio can replace/support text content and instruction
Bite size chunks
Most media playable in Flash Lite 2
Less is more keep screens simple, uncluttered

Mobile issues and solutions
Designing Learning Objects for the mobile: What are the issues?
‘ Matchbox’ screen size
Text, legibility and audio
Navigation and user control
Interactivity what is possible?

N91 Spec
Up to 4.0 GB of internal memory for content – mp3, photos, videos etc
Flashlite 2.

Multimedia Mobile Learning
Question: how can we design m-learning so that it helps people to manage their projects and learning activities?

M-Learning Design
It was necessary to choose suitable subject areas on the basis that those contexts would benefit from the advantages that mobile devices can bring to a users experience.
We introduced mobile technologies by building their use into core assignments .

Mobile Learning Contexts
Sustainability and Reuse:
If MLOs are used with appropriate activity and learner generated content then it is possible to achieve a rich blended learning context.
Combines top down pedagogical patterns with bottom-up learner generated context and learner control.

Modules Involved:
Studying Marketing and Operations
Event & Live Media Industries
Sports Science
Study Skills

Different Types of Learning Models Self Tests Basic Guides Reminders

Muscle Mechanics: Effort Arm Muscle Mechanics: Load Arm Cycle Ergometer: Cadence Cycle Ergometer: Revolutions Cycle Ergometer: Gear Ratios
