Leicester

1st October, 2013
Outline
• The evolving landscape of e-
learning to m-learning (mobile e-
learning)
• Affordances of new technologies
• Learner experience
• New m-pedagogies and
implications
• Teacher practice and paradoxes
• Strategies for change
– Intervention framework: linking
research to policy and practice
– New approaches to design
Research questions
• What:
– Is the learner experience and teacher practice?
– Are the emergent technologies and their affordances?
– Resources, Open Educational Resources and
practices, and Pedagogical Patterns are there and how
are they being used?
– M-Pedagogies are there and how do they facilitate
different forms of learning?
– New learning design approaches can be used to
promote and support m-learning?
– Strategies are in place to promote and support e-
learning?
– Theories and methodologies are been used?
Drivers toward M-learning
• Student expectation
• Course marketing
• Paperlessness
• BYOD: save money
• Supplied: hardware &
software match
• Most IT equipment is mobile
• Most internet access is mobile
• Careers: businesses want it
"As mobile platforms
become more
complex, employers are
increasingly looking for
people who can
demonstrate a foundation
of mobile specific skills
and experience to be sure
of delivering success.”

Activity
• What are characteristics of good learning?
• Draw on your own experience as a learner and
as a teacher – think about a really good and
bad experience for your own background
• What are the barriers and success factors of
successful learning?

From E-Learning to M-Learning
• More than just mobile e-learning
– Anytime, anywhere for the learner (efficiency)
– Enables learning in special location (i.e. fieldwork)
• New affordances of mobile
– Small and compact
– Personal
– Capturing sound, video, image
– New tech i.e. augmented reality
– Wearable tech Peacekeeper student using
