Editor's Notes
- PRINT OUT COFFEE CLUB POSTERS Who has a mobile device with them? That includes smartphone, tablet, laptop Ask yourself why you have brought it: to catch up with email, to be contactable, in case the session is boring, habit, just in case – means something to you, usefulness Integrated into our daily lives, difficult to imagine out life without them We use them to communication, to find out information, for work, to learn… and so do our students So mobile learning is learning via these devices, in and out of the classroom, both in formal and informal settings Also means that we can learn anywhere, access the learning materials anywhere Mobility - Ubiquitousness
- 9 ways/ 9 examples of mobile learning in our faculty (my teaching and that of colleagues) Go beyond basic Moodle and Powerpoint From my research project, research leave, CELT funding Questions – me, Irfan, Coffee club
- Nice way to start, easy to set up and easy to use Like a pin board with post it notes Great for capturing seminar discussions, before, during and after class, e.g seminar You set this up online, let students have the link, they click anywhere and start typing, any device Gives quieter students a chance to contribute
- Kahoot quiz Great for interactivity in lectures Sociology, Paul Gray, young offenders Tutor sets up quiz in advance, students go to website, enter pin and play on via their devices Countdown, music, leaderboard – students get quite animated Opportunity for discussion after each question Or revision sessions to get students to focus on key areas Students have used this in student-led seminars or presentations
- More advanced quiz and survey tool Also gives opportunity for discussion
- Moving on to number 4: selfies Popular culture phenomenon, self-representation, protest selfies, general election Exercise: Get students to take selfies around a particular topic Adi: Representatio & identity online, protest action Also great for history topics, politics, induction activity
- Talking about selfies brings me to Twitter Who is on Twitter? If you tweet, why not tweet with your students in class? This is one I did with my Year 1 students at the start of term: send them to library, gave them a few tasks (find this, find that) and tweet the answers with pictures – more engaging than just ticking things off a list
- A website where you can make your own comic strips by selecting figures and typing in your text. Not strictly mobile as this was done on a computer, but then shared via the website and via Twitter with wider audience. Example from Journalism, Liz Hannaford, one student made this after a lecture on the role of the audience in journalism and citizen journalism. Liz says it engaged students who are not as strong on the theory and got them to reflect on theoret. concepts discussed in the lecture.
- Web conferencing is great if you have a guest speaker but they can’t come in in person. You can use different tools for this: Google Hangouts, Skype (who uses skype with family and friends), Facetime, Adobe Connect. If you need any advice on setting this up, please ask Irfan. In Google Hangouts the external speaker can also remotely show their slides while they’re talking. Students can also ask questions and in some applications you can also record the talk. Sonja, employment café, Facetime.
- We shouldn’t forget podcasting or lectures. More and more staff are doing this now, has really grown in recent years. Really popular with students – would like more of it. Really beneficial before exams. Students can download and watch or listen on mobile devices.
- Last tool – Evernote. Something I’ve become evangelical about; this is one tool I use a lot myself It is know as a notetaking tool, but it does so much more, helps to manage information for study or research I used this with my Year 1 students, they had to keep a notebook of resources for their essay. Evernote works across all your devices, so for example, they took a scan of a book chapter using their phone and it saved this straight to Evernote which they could access on their computer. Shared their workbook with me. Also save journal articles, web articles, e-book chapters.
- This is how a colleague from Creative Writing used Evernote after I told her about it. Keep a notebook of found images as inspiration for writing. Can be used as a creative portfolio tool.
- Wi fi, battery Time Distraction, concentration, small screen I’m not advocating that we use these devices and encourage our students to use these all the time, but make them part of our repertoire. Start with one thing that you think might fit best what you are doing. These are powerful devices that we and our students carry around in our pockets and bags, so we should encourage our students to use them in a smart way.
