Editor's Notes
- These are just a few choice and challenges – we’ll come back and answer these qs later
- But first – what is mobile learning? Everyone understands something different. Are we talking about apps, or sts recoding each other on phones, or what??? Mark Pegrum’s way of understanding this is very useful
- Apps: vocab apps (research by Paul Nation shows that the specific affordances of mobile vocab apps (revision, testing modes etc) can lead to vocab acquisition.
- Pegrum's second category – when the learners are mobile – describes scenarios where learners may be moving around the classroom or the school premises while learning. Or students may be using commuting time or waiting time to access short chunks of content to reinforce learning in self-study mode. Reviewing vocabulary via mobile flashcard apps might be a typical self-study activity that learners can do while on the move. However, the learning experience remains fundamentally the same, wherever the learners may physically be at the time of using the devices.
- Pegrum’s third category – when the learning experience is mobile – refers to learners using devices across a range of real-world contexts to access information needed at that moment, or to create multimedia records of their learning wherever they may be at that moment. Tasks relying on geolocation are clear examples of situational mobile learning. It is this third category of mobile learning which is arguably the most disruptive, and which relies on the specific affordances of networked smart devices.

- Outside class experience (looking at AR apps in situ) are flipping the classroom by making use of mobile devices special affordance (AR in this case) and getting authentic input (reading AR info) and also contributing (uploading AR info?)
