3. 1. Introduction - Involvement: Sponsor CSU mLearn project; 2011 mlearning seminars in SA; judge of GSMA's 17th Global Mobile Awards (Best Mobile Innovation for Education or Learning); various presentations about mLearning Dynamic - students devices : institution provided systems/devices - personal learning : formal learning - synchronous : asynchronous - offline : online - social/conversational : individual - variety of devices - dynamic relationship of the four variables of a mobile learning strategy: interactivity, content, audience, platform DIVISION OF LEARNING AND TEACHING SERVICES

4. 2. Key mLearning concepts - mLearning is about supporting the mobility of the learner (anywhere, anytime) with contemporary mobile devices http://www.flickr.com/photos/anniemole/4732863210/sizes/m/in/photostream/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/sylvain_courant/7195638808/sizes/m /in/photostream/ DIVISION OF LEARNING AND TEACHING SERVICES

5. - We are using the students devices (not the institution’s) and moving into their world in a more direct and personal way http://www.flickr.com/photos/calotype46/5963009611/sizes/m/in/photostream/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/calotype46/5963568548/sizes/m/in/photostream/ DIVISION OF LEARNING AND TEACHING SERVICES

6. - On-demand learning: occurs more often than online learning, but shorter periods of access http://www.flickr.com/photos/razorshine/4662188057/sizes/m/in/photostream/ DIVISION OF LEARNING AND TEACHING SERVICES

7. - Learning with the expectation to continue on other devices http://www.flickr.com/photos/workinpana/4492789972/sizes/m/in/photostream/ DIVISION OF LEARNING AND TEACHING SERVICES

8. - Tablets, and particularly the iPad, has accelerated the growth and demand for mobile learning http://www.flickr.com/photos/smemon/5171518129/sizes/m/in/photostream/ DIVISION OF LEARNING AND TEACHING SERVICES

9. 3. Examining the impact of mobile learning on higher education - general access to the “University”; learning and teaching; research – will focus on the impact on learning in this presentation DIVISION OF LEARNING AND TEACHING SERVICES

10. - CSU Ed Tech survey responses June 2010 (n=4000) • 87% of students want to revisit work from lectures on their handheld/mobile device • Students were evenly split (50/50) among those who wish to access on campus information; subject information; subject readings; assessments or notifications on a handheld/mobile device. • Since 2005 we have surveyed our first year students in the School of Communication about a range of technology/media issues. Of the 207 surveyed in 2010 - 94% own a portable media player (e.g. iPod) and 80% use iTunes at least weekly. DIVISION OF LEARNING AND TEACHING SERVICES

11. - CSU website access through mobile devices per month: January 2012: 51, 533 visits (growth of more than 1000% since January 2010) iOS accounted for 40,000. Total 245,508 unique visitors = 21% mobile - Other needs at CSU: - CSU students doing fieldwork need to access CSU’s learning and teaching systems wherever they are. - The envisaged increase in students from lower SES backgrounds could see a decrease in privately owned laptops with a resultant higher ratio of mobile (small screen) devices - Web content now “mobile first” DIVISION OF LEARNING AND TEACHING SERVICES

12. - some mlearning developments in Australasia and beyond • Take up by many universities in Australasia and internationally due to mobile capability of LMSs • Abilene Christian University: initial findings from 2008 to 2009 were above 80% satisfaction and the last two years this has risen to over 90%. http://www.acu.edu/technology/mobilelearning/documents/ACU2009-10MobileLearningReport.pdf (ACU, 2011) 84 percent of ACU's faculty reported using their devices frequently in class to facilitate enhanced classroom collaboration. 86 percent of students reported improved student-to-student and student-to-teacher collaboration when using mobile devices in the instructional process. • Oklahoma State University reported 75% agreed or strongly agreed with the statement, “I think the iPad enhanced the learning experience of this course.” http://news.okstate.edu/press-releases/929-ipad-study-released-by-oklahoma-state-university • Earlypilot programs have found that students feel that mobile technology encourages exploration of additional course topics, helps manage time, provides new functions/tools, increases learning, and makes courses more interesting (University of Notre Dame, 2011) and provide additional motivation for learning (Bond University, 2011) DIVISION OF LEARNING AND TEACHING SERVICES

13. • The Horizon Project is a long-running qualitative research project that seeks to identify and describe emerging technologies likely to have a large impact on teaching, learning, research, or creative expression within learning-focused organisations. For the last three years mobile learning has featured as the number one emerging technology both internationally and in Australasia • Mobile devices (such as Phones, Smart phones, PDA’s, Tablets, Netbooks and Portable Gaming Platforms) are more common and we are seeing an increase in usage of handheld ‘mobile’ devices by staff, community members and students. Many of these are Internet capable, able to connect to the Internet via a wireless connection, or via the 3G mobile phone network. • A typical Smartphone has not only a wireless internet connection but a GPS, accelerometer, compass and multi-touch interface which can be developed to create a much more personal experience where content can be delivered, created and contextualized by a student’s physical location. http://www.lukew.com/resources/articles/MobileFirst_LukeW.pdf • In the 3 years (2006-2009) mobile web traffic on the AT&T network in the USA increased 50 times AT&T, Morgan Stanley Research DIVISION OF LEARNING AND TEACHING SERVICES

14. • Q2 2012: Americans now spend more times consuming media on mobile devices that they do on TV. Out of the nine hours they spend in total consuming media, mobile is top with 2.4 hours, followed by TV (2.35 hours), and PCs (1.6 hours). http://www.inmobi.com/ • Tremendous growth in the number of new mobile devices, specifically tablets, expected over the next few years. Gartner predicts word wide rollout of 103.4 million in 2012 and 154.2 million in 2013 http://printceo.com/2010/11/gartner%E2%80%99s-optimistic-predictions-of-tablet-growth/ DIVISION OF LEARNING AND TEACHING SERVICES

15. • In the final quarter of 2010 Fortune reported that Smartphones outsold PCs for the first time – a full two years before the prediction by Morgan Stanley – and according to the UN Telecommunications Agency www.itu.int 77% of the world’s population now has mobile devices. • By 2013, mobile phones will overtake PCs as the most common Web access device worldwide – Gartner Inc, 2010 http://www.gartner.com/it/page.jsp?id=1278413 • By 2015, 80% of people accessing the Internet will be doing so from mobile devices – 2011 Horizon Report http://wp.nmc.org/horizon2011/sections/mobiles/ The technology is here, ready, available and in widespread use BUT availability does not mean that students are demanding it or that by itself it has potential to enhance learning DIVISION OF LEARNING AND TEACHING SERVICES

16. Impact on learning “There is something counter-intuitive but familiar about this approach to technology: new technologies often heralded and sold as “revolutionary,” are deployed to do the same old things” (p. 11). Hanley, L. (2011). Teacher as bricoleur. Radical Teacher, 90, 9-14. DIVISION OF LEARNING AND TEACHING SERVICES

17. - focus in this presentation on distinctive aspects compared to f2f and distance education, such as using the: 1.inherent affordances of mobile devices themselves (mobility, GPS, etc.) as well as the 2. functionality on the devices (apps) DIVISION OF LEARNING AND TEACHING SERVICES

18. - A few standout items of the “24 benefits of mobile learning - Marcus Boyes” -1.Relevance: mobile learning enables training and evidence collection to be ‘situated rather than simulated’ and so it makes learning possible at the point of need e.g. Induction - 2. Elimination of technologicaland acceptance barriers: the use of a learner’s own mobile device means they are already familiar with the technology, eliminating technological barriers to accessing learning. - 3. Context sensitive learning: with GPS and the use of QR codes learning can become specific to a location DIVISION OF LEARNING AND TEACHING SERVICES

19. Distinctive capabilities in learning and teaching through (personas): 1. Students accessing learning materials 2. Performing learning tasks 3. Participating in learning interactions 4. Performing assessment tasks 5. Students accessing learning support 6. Evaluating teaching DIVISION OF LEARNING AND TEACHING SERVICES

24. DIVISION OF LEARNING AND TEACHING SERVICES

25. a. eBooks Martha (28) is studying by distance. Whilst on the train she is able to browse books and resources in an online store on her iPad. Before she reaches her destination she has read a few samples and chosen to purchase an eBook of her prescribed text so she can avoid lugging the large volume print copy to and from work. DIVISION OF LEARNING AND TEACHING SERVICES

26. b. Pod/Vodcasts Rachel (43) has two children and is enrolled in CSU through distance education. She uses mobile technology mostly to complete her readings while on the move. She is able to access podcasts of her lectures while she is preparing dinner using iTunesU, and on her hands free mobile phone while travelling to work and socially DIVISION OF LEARNING AND TEACHING SERVICES

27. 3. Performing learning tasks DIVISION OF LEARNING AND TEACHING SERVICES

28. a. Research Andre (42) is a 4th year education student on practicum in a small country town teaching year 2 children. He uses an iPad to find relevant articles and add it to “Instapaper” to read later (“Instapaper” also allows Andre to change the font, size and colour.) DIVISION OF LEARNING AND TEACHING SERVICES

29. b. ePortfolio/Personal Learning System Liz (24) is a final year student in B. Information Studies (Distance Ed only), currently studying Social Networking in Info Studies subject. She is able to update her ePortfolio using her smart phone to keep a record of any meetings that she will have in regards to work or study. She also uses the Pebble Pad application on her smart phone to document emergent, unintentional learning. DIVISION OF LEARNING AND TEACHING SERVICES

30. send x-ray with comments to academic for upload/upload in LMS c. Mobile Capture Mick (44) is a mature age student, family man and farming outside Broken Hill. He is in his second year of study doing an joint agricultural /health science diploma by DE. Out in the field, where there is no network connection, Mick is still able to use his phone to take photos of examples from his study guide which are also geo-tagged. When he is back at the homestead he is able to upload them to the forums for discussion with his peers.. This supports contingent learning (reacting to the environment and changing experiences), and situated learning (learning takes place in the surroundings that make learning meaningful). Mick also sends x-rays from outstations with comments to the academic for upload in the LMS, or sometimes upload it himself at the homestead. DIVISION OF LEARNING AND TEACHING SERVICES

31. d. Geo-tagging Kevin (20) is a student in environmental science who with fellow students visits a natural reserve near Sydney where various plants and trees are geo-tagged to deliver online information and enhance users’ experiences via photo, video, audio and text; on the user’s mobile device. Kevin can add to the information which is then available to his peers. It is developed as an environmental teaching tool as well as an eco-guide for natural reserves and parks. DIVISION OF LEARNING AND TEACHING SERVICES

32. e. SMS Michael (23) is a final year Vet student. He has a basic mobile phone (not a smart phone). He accesses CSU’s intelligent mobile answer engine that delivers knowledge bits over SMS. The return SMS will contain the exact answer to the query and not links to answers. DIVISION OF LEARNING AND TEACHING SERVICES

33. 4. Participating in learning interactions DIVISION OF LEARNING AND TEACHING SERVICES

34. a. CHAT Andre (42) is a 4th year education student on practicum in a small country town teaching year 2 children. He uses an iPad to access his Learning Management System modules and communicates with other students in the class using the chat tool. In addition, he belongs to a Mixit study group where he also participates actively in chats. He is also an expert on using his mobile phone to participate in Twitter discussions. DIVISION OF LEARNING AND TEACHING SERVICES

35. b. Messaging System - the Learning Management System Pete (41) is an academic teaching a distance education cohort in the Outback, with only two residential schools per session per year. His students in the region have intermittent Internet access at best and the mobile networks are far more robust. Pete sends notifications to students (using SMS) regarding the availability of new Internet resources as they are posted so students know when they need to get online. DIVISION OF LEARNING AND TEACHING SERVICES

36. c. Web Application Client Liz (24) is a final year student in Bachelor of Information Studies currently studying a Social Networking subject. The class is immersed and engaged with variety of Web 2.0 tools integrated in Sakai OAE. Using a web application client, the class is able to aggregate and share content on their Galaxy Tablet from a variety of sites and applications in one central location. For Liz this is a great time saver. She can also use tools she is already using and familiar with. This supports personalised learning (learning is customised for the preferences, history and abilities of individual learners or groups of learners). DIVISION OF LEARNING AND TEACHING SERVICES

37. 5. Performing assessment tasks DIVISION OF LEARNING AND TEACHING SERVICES

38. a. Self Assessment Tools James (29) is studying a health science degree. James is about to undertake a multiple choice test on the train as part of his subject revision. To access this, James uses his tablet and an environment specifically designed for mobile use. Once complete, James will get instantaneous feedback from the test and see where he may need to focus his studies for the exam DIVISION OF LEARNING AND TEACHING SERVICES

39. b. OLE Access – online assignment submission Sam (28) is a trainee parks manager completing a Bachelor of Environmental Sciences. Sam is struggling to connect to anything because of his location (very remote). Sam struggles with a poor internet connection on his homestead but is able to get mobile reception in some locations with higher elevation. Sam is able to take his tablet computer and submit his assessments using his mobile connection saving a long trek into town. Mobile learning thus addresses geographical or spatial distance. DIVISION OF LEARNING AND TEACHING SERVICES

40. c. Radio-frequency identification (RFID) James (29) is studying a health science degree. He is required to attend a trade fair in Sydney and check in with at least half of the stalls at the fair. RFID uses radio waves to transfer data from an electronic tag attached to the student, through a reader for the purpose of identifying and tracking the object. Students wear RFID bracelets that connects them to their Facebook and Twitter pages. At each station they scan their bracelet and have a post or tweet automatically sent to their pages. DIVISION OF LEARNING AND TEACHING SERVICES

42. a. Learning Support Tools and SMS Robyn (58) is a mature age student returning to study after 25 years in the workforce. She is struggling with the Learning Management System that is so different from how she studied when she got her degree. Fortunately she is able to access a range of resources and tools to help her, including interactive tutorials so she is able to see how things work. She has to contribute to a Wiki in one of her subjects and after watching a video showing how wiki formatting is done she feels more confident. She has downloaded a cheat sheet to her mobile that lists all the codes so she can refer to it quickly whenever and wherever she needs to. Furthermore, she has elected to receive targeted SMS messages such as reminders of assessments and encouraging messages at crucial milestones. DIVISION OF LEARNING AND TEACHING SERVICES

43. 6. Evaluating teaching DIVISION OF LEARNING AND TEACHING SERVICES

44. a. Classroom Feedback Leanne (31) - first year academic teaching Accounting. It’s her first full time teaching position and she is nervous about her performance and she will be in charge of reviewing and updating the subject next session. Leanne wants to ensure that she is engaging with the students, that they are finding the subject information useful and the assessments beneficial so she has deployed a range of feedback tools to her subject materials through mobile devices. Students can “like” and rate sections of the online modules as well as make comments, which are recorded anonymously. Students have already commented on a number of areas that are difficult to understand and she now knows that they need further development. Students are able to update their comments simultaneously, using a smart phone. DIVISION OF LEARNING AND TEACHING SERVICES
