3. Agenda Mobility in the Horizon Report ELI 2010 focus session on mobile learning Community's findings Institutional examples of the potential of mobility in the areas of content delivery, student collaboration, and community building. Strategies and methodologies to help measure the impact of mobile tools on teaching and learning
4. question How many of your institutions or faculty members are involved in mobile learning in some way?
37. Review mobile technologies and ask… What would be the ramifications and opportunities for learning if this technology were adopted? What kinds of teaching and learning engagements might this technology: make better or enable? If we decide to do a pilot, what kind of evaluation methodology can we overlay on the project to assess outcomes? What kind of additional research needs to be done concerning this technology?
38. Join ELI as we Seek Evidence of Impact Advance evidence-based applications of learning innovation Encourage the teaching and learning community to explore new ways of gathering evidence
39. question What are some items you’d like to measure in evaluating your mobile learning initiatives?

59. Section 6: Course Technology The tools and media support the learning objectives, and are appropriately chosen to deliver the content of the course. The tools and media support student engagement and guide the student to become an active learner. Navigationthroughout the online components of the course is logical, consistent, and efficient. Students have ready access to the technologies required in the course. The course components are compatible with current standards for delivery modes. Instructions on how to access resources at a distance are sufficient and easy to understand. The course design takes full advantage of available tools and media.
