ADL’s recent research review uncovered the fact that very few actual ID models for mobile learning truly exist. Instead of creating a new ID model, they have presented a framework that can be used to incorporate mobile learning considerations into existing ID models and agile approaches to optimize them for the mobile learner. Ideally, instructional designers should now consider focusing on new opportunities for improving performance and augmenting skills, not just on knowledge transfer.
The flexible approach proposed by the framework takes both instruction and performance support into consideration for the mobile learning task or challenge at hand. This session will provide you with ADL’s mobile learning research findings and an overview of the MoTIF project. This session will specifically address the mLearning considerations during the analysis and design phases. Participants will also receive a list of mobile learning resources and discuss opportunities for getting involved with the community supporting this effort and evolving the framework.
The Experience API (xAPI) introduces several design implications for mobile learning that involve user experience (UX) design, interface design, service and system design, organizational design, reporting and analytics design, and instructional design. You’ll hear about the different use cases focusing on commonly anticipated business requirements that will ultimately help determine and prioritize your design objectives. This stage event will be both informative and interactive and will involve audience participation to identify and discuss the potential types of cognitive and performance processes in designing a learning experience using the xAPI.

CLO Webinar: How to Measure Informal Learning and Engage Managers to Optimize...Human Capital Media
Informal learning measurement (social networks, performance support, coaching) is on the rise. It is important to think about measuring this investment and comparing it against formal programs to determine its mix and place. In addition, the root cause of low learning impact is lack of manager support. This webinar will address why this happens and how to overcome it. In this webinar, you will:
1. Define informal learning and a learning taxonomy to incorporate it.
2. Discuss when and how to measure informal learning.
3. Understand the reasons for scrap learning and low manager support.
4. Discuss tools and methods to increase manager support and optimize learning impact.

Scrum ideals call for a team to be colocated,
and with members in close proximity to each other. However, the reality is that many teams and organizations already have, and continue to have, a distributed component, with the team members partially or permanently located apart from each other.

Currently Experience API (xAPI) mostly focuses on providing “structural” interoperability of xAPI statements via JavaScript Object Notation Language (JSON). Structural interoperability defines the syntax of the data exchange and ensures the data exchanged between systems can be interpreted at the data field level. In comparison, semantic interoperability leverages the structural interoperability of the data exchange, but provides a vocabulary so other systems and consumers can also interpret the data. Analytics produced by xAPI statements would benefit from more consistent and semantic approaches to describing domain-specific verbs, activityTypes, attachments, and extensions. The xAPI specification recommends implementers to adopt community-defined vocabularies, but the only current guidance is to provide very basic, human-readable identifier metadata (e.g., literal string name(display), description). The main objective of the Vocabulary and Semantic Interoperability Working Group (WG) is to research machine-readable, semantic technologies (e.g., RDF, JSON-LD) in order to produce guidance for Communities of Practice (CoPs) on creating, publishing, or managing controlled vocabulary datasets (e.g., verbs). In this session, you will see a brief introduction to modern controlled vocabulary practices and how they can be applied to xAPI to add semantic expressiveness of controlled vocabularies. The progress and resources from the Vocabulary WG (started in April 2015) will also be shared.
SCORM, which has been the de facto standard for publishing, launching, and tracking eLearning on learning management systems, is not properly equipped to manage non-traditional learning that is mobile and informal. Experience API, or xAPI, however, provides the eLearning community an interface that is able to collect and record details from any learning experience in one central location, regardless of where the learning takes place. With xAPI’s extreme potential to improve the way learning is captured and administered, it is vital for eLearning professionals to understand:
- xAPI’s capabilities for managing mobile, non-traditional learning
- SCORM’s place in the future of eLearning
- Integration of xAPI into HTML5 for tracking user activity within currently-adopted LMS or LRS
- Real world examples of xAPI implementation

Augmented reality (AR) can take any situation, location, environment, or experience to a whole new level of meaning and understanding. Mobile AR technologies provide an innovative tool for contextual learning, but mobile learning designers and developers are unaware of where to look for examples or development options.
Mobile learning is a new educational technology and introduces both exciting capabilities and complexity into the learning design process, but with very few guidelines. ADL’s MoTIF project will explore new types of learning and design approaches that take advantage of the capabilities of the mobile platform. The MoTIF project will result in interventions such as strategies, materials, products, and guidelines as solutions to the problems, but will also advance our knowledge about the characteristics of these interventions and the processes involved in designing and developing them.This survey report is the first step in the design-based research approach and will drive the needs assessment for the project. The survey report will reveal the MoTIF project objectives as well as highlight other relevant findings from the data collected from the 831 survey respondents from around the world.
This paper summarizes findings from an empirical study that investigated the conversion and delivery of an existing DoD-wide eLearning course, “Trafficking In Persons (TIP) General Awareness Training”, to a mobile format. The Advanced Distributed Learning (ADL) Mobile Learning Team deployed the training content and measured user feedback as a field experiment to volunteers in each of the DoD services. This paper presents both quantitative and qualitative results, including learner performance and overall satisfaction with the mobile course.
There are several technical challenges associated with deploying SCORM content because the current technologies used in SCORM are based on HTTP and JavaScript, which have limited support on mid-end mobile devices. The good news is there are other technical approaches that don't use HTTP and JavaScript that you could leverage as an alternative.
Participants in this session will learn the issues related to deploying SCORM content on mobile devices. Many people are looking for a more lightweight mobile-friendly version of SCORM that can be deployed on mobile devices. This session will look at existing technologies that can be leveraged as alternatives, rather than waiting for SCORM to be updated. You’ll see several example use cases of SCORM implementations and hear the lessons learned from ADL.
This paper identifies three areas for improvement:
1. Unique identifiers should be associated with objectives to avoid "objective collision".
2. There is a need for a specification for learning objectives.
3. There should be a clear rules for how learning objectives are associated with learning activities and how content objects should use learning objectives.
Some solutions are put forward, in particular a suggested extension to the manifest to include learning objectives.
Some of the Department of Defense (DOD) services have had negative experiences when attempting to share SCORM content packages between their various LMS implementations primarily due to differences with both user interfaces and the Application Programming Interface (API) Implementation. The vision of plug-n-play interoperability of learning content is usually achieved only after several additional hours of modifying the content to work in a particular LMS implementation. In order to achieve adoption on a global scale, SCORM 2.0 must have a strategy to improve interoperability by standardizing the user interface controls in further support of flexibility, usability, accessibility, and durability. This paper provides a background and summary of the Navy's successes with extending the SCORM to support standardized user interface options, and further proposes creating or incorporating a new user interface interoperability specification and a recommendation for supplying a standardized API Implementation as part of the Core SCORM.
During the past three months I have been in contact with several organizations and vendors that have either already implemented SCORM or have been working on implementing SCORM as part of their mobile learning strategy. This helped me to identify the use cases for this presentation.
My objectives for this presentation and also for my ongoing research interests are the following:
1) Generate a list of mobile learning technologies that use SCORM.
2) Publish general best practices for designing SCORM content for mobile devices.
3) Identify which technologies are available when implementing SCORM for mobile devices.
4) Identify potential updates to SCORM that will enhance future mobile learning.
Today I will talk about some specific mLearning examples and provide you with the 5 W’s (who, what, when, where, and why) of each use case and how SCORM is being addressed as part of their mLearning strategy. Finally, I will conclude the session with the outcomes I recorded from analyzing these use cases. The outcomes will include:
• Notable Findings
• Common Technical Challenges and Considerations
• General Best Practices

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.

63. Mobile Lessons Learned
• Create. Don’t convert!
• Scope: You can support all device types. Narrow the scope and
focus on consistent user experience
• Mobile first approach: potential for both a desktop and mobile
deliverable from single code base
• SCORM on mobile browsers works, but provides a poor user
experience
– What level of tracking is actually needed? Bookmarking,
completion, assessment, etc.
• Mobile Apps can be developed using HTML5 and support
multiple platforms (both native and web)

64. Don’t Get Hung Up on Platforms!

I’m at Native App… I’m a Web App… I’m a Hybrid App…So What!
