Oeb09 Session1 Basic To Mobile20

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 deploy with all stakeholders

Case 1 : Telemedicine: peer to peer discussion forum with mobile access website Starting from web-based content User 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 Wimax bluetooth 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 Group Build on what exists Cost

incorporate all the stakeholders Sms Delimiters 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.org Javascript Html & CSS Big mobile multimedia files? consider sending SDcards to learners to reduce download costs. Mobile course example: http://tinyurl.com/yqb47s

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 ADSL 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 Send summary material Website 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 discussion Day 10: Conclusion of clinical case Day 11: Summary of module (articles and review) Day 15: Post-test Example of clinical module wifi

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 W3C
The mobile validator , checking whether your mobile website is accessible
DOM Compatibility - CSS Object Model View with different cell phones
Mobile 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;
