Editor's Notes
- Mobile learning is about the mobility of the learner Mobile learning is about context – what can mobile learning do that desk-bound computing can’t? Mobile learning can provide solutions to personalising learning
- Key Trends People expect to be able to work & learn wherever and whenever they want Technologies used are increasingly cloud based An abundance of resources and relationships are easily accessible using the internet – particular focus just now on the open education movement (open content, open data, open badges) The world of work is increasingly collaborative using collective intelligence, teamwork and group communications - that shift reflected in new collaborative pedagogical models that are emerging focussing on communications / networking / and knowing where to find and manage information as well as gaining practical skills. Peers play an important and often unacknowledged role in the learning experience. Whether through one to one text messages, instant messaging or facebook groups The use of social media and mobile technology is having an impact – new communication methods an tools with new challenges and issues (security, data protection, eSafety all a=have to be addresed in order to modernise how we engage with learners.
- Five phases A hype cycle in can be broken down into five phases: "Technology Trigger" — The first phase of a hype cycle is the "technology trigger" or breakthrough, product launch or other event that generates significant press and interest. "Peak of Inflated Expectations" — In the next phase, a frenzy of publicity typically generates over-enthusiasm and unrealistic expectations. There may be some successful applications of a technology, but there are typically more failures. "Trough of Disillusionment" — Technologies enter the "trough of disillusionment" because they fail to meet expectations and quickly become unfashionable. Consequently, the press usually abandons the topic and the technology. "Slope of Enlightenment" — Although the press may have stopped covering the technology, some businesses continue through the "slope of enlightenment" and experiment to understand the benefits and practical application of the technology. "Plateau of Productivity" — A technology reaches the "plateau of productivity" as the benefits of it become widely demonstrated and accepted. The technology becomes increasingly stable and evolves in second and third generations. The final height of the plateau varies according to whether the technology is broadly applicable or benefits only a niche market. The term is now used more broadly in the marketing of new technologies.

- The now ubiquitous nature of “Smart” mobile devices and individuals having several pieces of hardware that they use( PC, Laptop, Tablet, Phone, means being able to access information on the go is more critical than ever. scoop.it video - everyone is a publisher - xhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_2X3EHfhc6A
- Institutional goals Mobile learning aligns well with many goals of educational institutions, including: Taken out into the field (contextualised) / accessed on their own terms (personalised) / always on, always connected (immediacy) / ease with which user generated content including multimedia can be created Curriculum redesign Personalisation of learning Student satisfaction Digital literacies Reducing costs (doing more with less) Graduate attributes and employability Enhancing assessment and feedback Widening participation Improving student engagement and retention Energy efficiency Tangible benefits Personal, private and familiar (reduce perceived barriers to learning) Contextualisation through location-aware features such as GPS Perceived as an acceptable way for learners to receive reminders and chasers – and to manage their time Increases accessibility/opportunity for learners with special educational needs Reduces technical barriers to e-learning

- An augmented reality environment, basically brings together elements of the real world with the virtual world at the same time and be interactive in real time. Basically, AR refers to the blending of virtual data with what we see in the real world – enhancing information using a range of sources. Augmented reality is one way to bring experiential and location-based learning to students by supplementing existing worlds rather than creating new ones. The use of devices such as smartphones may permit rapid experimentation and evolution of augmented reality applications. By combining technology familiar to students with locations that students see as their own, augmented reality has the potential to move learning out of the classrooms and into the spaces where students live. Encouraging informal learning that is easily accessible may prove particularly effective in engaging students, extending learning to spaces that might help them form connections with content and providing the context for it . You will need to find the AR apps that are right for you but I will highlight and couple and then show you some demos that may peak your interest away from the gimmicky stuff
