9. 3. Examining the impact of mobilelearning on higher education- general access to the “University”; learning and teaching; research – willfocus 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 ofLMSs• 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 ACUs faculty reported using their devices frequently in class tofacilitate enhanced classroom collaboration. 86 percent of students reported improvedstudent-to-student and student-to-teacher collaboration when using mobile devices in theinstructional 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 encouragesexploration of additional course topics, helps manage time, provides newfunctions/tools, increases learning, and makes courses more interesting (Universityof 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 identifyand describe emerging technologies likely to have a large impact on teaching, learning,research, or creative expression within learning-focused organisations. For the last threeyears mobile learning has featured as the number one emerging technology bothinternationally and in Australasia• Mobile devices (such as Phones, Smart phones, PDA’s, Tablets, Netbooks and PortableGaming Platforms) are more common and we are seeing an increase in usage ofhandheld ‘mobile’ devices by staff, community members and students. Many of these areInternet capable, able to connect to the Internet via a wireless connection, or via the 3Gmobile 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 amuch more personal experience where content can be delivered, created andcontextualized 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 USAincreased 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 devicesthat they do on TV. Out of the nine hours they spend in total consuming media, mobile istop 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 in2012 and 154.2 million in 2013http://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 thefirst time – a full two years before the prediction by Morgan Stanley – and according to theUN Telecommunications Agency www.itu.int 77% of the world’s population now hasmobile devices.• By 2013, mobile phones will overtake PCs as the most common Web access deviceworldwide – Gartner Inc, 2010http://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 Reporthttp://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 anddistance education, such as using the:1.inherent affordances of mobile devices themselves (mobility, GPS,etc.)as well as the2. functionality on the devices (apps) DIVISION OF LEARNING AND TEACHING SERVICES

18. - A few standout items of the “24 benefits of mobile learning - MarcusBoyes” -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
