2. Overview
1. Motivation for Mobile Learning
2. Introducing the Mobler Cards App
3. Lunch
4. Making Great Mobler Cards

3. Content for
self-practicing

4. The learning lies in
solving a challenge
Not in reading a question

5. Mobile content for practicing
works differently than
content for tests

6. Some problems we encountered
with existing learning material ...

7. Try to remember
this for longer
than 5”

8. Focus on the Answer
not on the Question

9. The question is no longer
visible to the learners
when they seen the answer

10. Keep the question close
to the task at hand

11. e.g., remove additional
background information
Emphasize the question

12. True-or-false items
are not fun after
answering them
for the first time

13. Support thinking
Not guessing

14. True-or-false questions
often refer to
identification-tasks

15. Shift the identification
to the answer section
(e.g., by providing multiple choices)

16. Some items might
be too easy
or too complex

17. Rephrase the question
Change the task

18. Many complex questions
can be split into two or
more simpler questions

19. Avoid answer patterns
The leaners will learn the
pattern not the subject

20. Trick questions
are almost like
true or false
Eve
ryth
ing
is c
orr
ect

21. Use trick questions rarely to
keep up the tension
Maybe one per pool

22. Enable progress
Not quick wins

23. Use feedback
for providing
background
information

24. Positive feedback
should unlock
new insights

25. Negative feedback
should help solving the
question the next time
