Introduction
Technology has completely acquired over the rapid pace of trends in our society as well as across the globe. It is very true that the advancement of science has developed several products as vital contributions in our community to make our life much easier while the decline in the hurdles of our path. If we look around the cell phone (mobile) it has been more of a necessity among us rather than a choice. According to the recent primary and secondary data the figures reflect that almost 92 percent of the people across the globe use cell phone for acquiring their basic needs of the life to have long conversations with their family and friends along with the important calls to stay in touch with all their known individuals. Where ever you go even the drivers and poor people’s you can find them using cell phones but still we can figure out a line of difference with the use of the phone. Now a day we can find various categories of phones comprises of GSM, CDMA, Multimedia, basic phones, etc. IN out present scenario we can find that the youth are more over being friendly with the latest trends of touch screen technologies of mobile phones as well as the several described products of tablets, iPhones, etc. Which has been launched from the past several years but a novel generation of educational tools has funded those for the creative use and instantaneous admissions of the students to contribute their wealth of online resources. Those products has been advertized as “revolutionary” devices in our generation that embrace the immense potential for the proper transformation of learning’s. One of the principle benefits or the major circumstances of the adoption of such device is the characteristics reflected by them to facilitate the concept of learning skills anywhere, anytime across the nations. This permits a shift which has driven the industry study era replica where the classroom is the inner place of learning driven by lecturers as well as restricted to the lessons taught within the school on a regular day.
Problem Statement
While structuring the mobile devices the firms has to process various steps to compute the devices together and activate a production of successful products, the present trends of students who are being organized by mobile devices, the teacher is no longer present at the center of the learning procedure where as the instructional time for the studies may vary and can exceed than those of the school days. The vital key center areas of this statement were -

4. Rick Oller, ECAR, The Future of Mobile Learning
I feel that one of our obligations as educators is to consider how the mobile
Internet changes not only how we teach, but what it means to be knowledgeable
and educated in our culture. And just as important, the mobile web opens up a
host of pedagogical possibilities.
David Parry, EDUCAUSE Review
Rather than imposing legacy pedagogical guidelines on mobile learning, higher
education decision makers, instruction designers, and perhaps most importantly,
teachers need to innovate, experiment, and be prepared to fail. It’s not clear
where mobile learning technology and applications will go, but…it will be
disruptive, explosive, and game changing….

9. TECHNOPOSITIVISM
The technopositivist ideology is defined as a ‘compulsive
enthusiasm’ about e-learning in higher education that is being
created, propagated and channelled repeatedly by the people
who are set to gain without giving the educators the time and
opportunity to explore the dangers and rewards of e-learning on
teaching and learning.

17. ACTIVITY 2:
YOUR ENVIRONMENT
The data we just looked at is national. Every learning
environment is unique—what have you observed in yours?
1. Are students using desktops, laptops, tablets,
smartphones, or e-readers? What do you see at your
institution?
2. Do your students need guidance in using the devices that
they own or borrow?
3. Is there a BYOD (bring your own device) culture at your
institution? Why or why not?
4. Are students using smartphones in class? If so, what are
they doing?
22. “…illustrates the necessity
of local user research,
which provides insight into
unique institutional cultures
and student learning
environments, and
suggests how libraries can
leverage collected data to
both evaluate and
prioritize a range of
initiatives.”
--Booth, 2009
25. TEACHING
The mobile environment is evolving instruction in two major
ways:
What we teach (skills and content)
• Technology use
• Mobile information literacy skills
• Resources used and recommended
How we teach (strategies and pedagogy)
• Technology used in the classroom
• Communication and collaboration opportunities
• Connecting the classroom to the outside world
26. • Informational (LibGuides)
• Information literacy/library instruction sessions
• Train the trainers
TEACHING MODELS
27. TEACHING MODEL:
INFORMATIONAL
• LibGuides, webpages, handouts
• Curated information for your learners/users
• Often aimed at personal use
• Low investment of time and resources
31. TEACHING MODEL:
INFORMATION LITERACY SESSIONS
• One-shot instruction sessions or workshops
• Focus on teaching a particular objective related to mobile
information literacy AND/OR teaching a particular tool
• Aimed toward a group
• Integrated into a larger context or curriculum
• May include an opportunity cost
• May come with additional risks (e.g., distractions,
multitasking)
33. “Don’t assume all students know how to use the technology they own
and use as academic tools….[technical] training is essential for their
success in a world where these skills are expected.”
ECAR Study of Undergraduate Students and Information
Technology, 2012
“Most students look to their instructors for technology training that
applies to their coursework.”
ECAR Study of Undergraduate Students and Information
Technology, 2013
34. MOBILE
INFORMATION LITERACY
Scranton Smartphone Survey (2010)
A few generalizations and recommendations:
• Information literacy instructors should become familiar with new search
methods (such as QR codes) to help students use them effectively and
efficiently
• Students should be encouraged to review a range of search results,
particularly when searching for academic information
• Information literacy instructors should help students understand how to
evaluate information, especially when it is presented in a nontraditional
form, such as an app.
• Students may need assistance from educators in applying information
literacy skills they have learned while searching on a laptop or desktop to
the mobile environment
Kristen Yarmey, Student Information Literacy in the Mobile Environment
35. MOBILE
INFORMATION LITERACY
Three key areas of information engagement on the move:
1. How people search for and evaluate information on the move
• Searching for information is quick and easy
• Information needs are contextual
• Searching can be social
2. How people use information and create new knowledge on the move
• Memory can be outsourced
• Mobile internet acting as a bridge between devices
3. How people cope with the “always on” nature of mobile information
• Information is constantly pushed at us
Andrew Walsh, Mobile Information Literacy: A Preliminary Outline of
Information Behaviour in a Mobile Environment
36. ACTIVITY 3:
AREAS OF MOBILE IL
Kristen Yarmey and Andrew Walsh both offer their insights
on how information literacy instructors can help students
gain the information and technology skills they need for a
mobile environment.
What have you observed as a mobile information literacy
need in your students?
It could be one that Yarmey or Walsh identified, or something
totally different.

43. EVALUATING MOBILE
RESOURCES FOR TEACHING
Consideration Questions to Ask
Cost Is the resource free? How much does
it cost? Is volume purchasing
available?
Device Which device(s) does the resource
work with? Work best with?
Function and Usability How relevant is the resource’s
function? What skill(s) does it
promote? Is there a learning curve?
Security and Privacy How secure is the resource? Does it
collect personal information?
Support and Reliability What is the history of the resource?
Is there support for it?
Access Does the resource allow sharing?
Provide feedback, if that’s important?
47. COGNITIVE LOAD THEORY
Your capacity for learning is limited. Learners are often
“overwhelmed by the number of information elements and
their interactions that need to be processed simultaneously
before meaningful learning can commence” (Paas, Renkl, &
Sweller 2004).
For example:
48. STRATEGIES
• “Chunk” content into discrete sections that learners can
handle more easily
• Offload some material and ideas onto guides or
instructions
• Recognize how these limitations restrict the scope of your
classes
49. MULTITASKING
Sana, Weston, & Cepeda (2012) found that laptop use in a
classroom led to student multitasking, which distracted both
the student on the laptop and students in view of the laptop.
50. STRATEGIES
• Make sure technologies are being actively used for
learning purposes
• Discuss issues openly with the students
51. • Workshops and/or instructional design consulting for
faculty (or colleagues!)
• Need to cultivate buy-in
• Help faculty think beyond “the library”
• Will alleviate pressure to fit everything into 50 minutes
• Offers a more sustainable model of instruction
• May be initially time consuming
TEACHING MODEL:
TRAIN THE TRAINERS
55. ACTIVITY 5:
DEVELOP A LESSON PLAN
In a group of 5 (or so), come up with a lesson plan for either a
50-minute one-shot instruction session OR a train-the-
trainers workshop. Include:
• Define the context and the learners
• 1-3 learning objectives
• Instructional strategy (including devices and/or apps
used)
• Method of assessment
56. BEST PRACTICES
• Align and Organize: Make sure technology selected aligns with
students, context, and objectives
• Accessibility: Make sure technology is accessible to all students
• Interaction: Provide students with the opportunity to interact with
each other, you, and the content
• Reinforcement: Technology should reinforce and supplement
your teaching
• Assessment: Assess for learning, impact, effectiveness
• Keep it fresh: Be flexible, stay on top of technology and trends
• Share and Collaborate: Let others know what you’re doing;
share your ideas and use others’ ideas!

http://teach.ucf.edu/pedagogy/best-practices/
57. ACTIVITY 6:
TAKING IT HOME
Principles from instructional design tell us that a “follow
through” activity helps learners retain more of what they
have learned.
How do you plan to use what we explored in this session?
What are your next steps? Consider:
• Questions you will now ask
• Partners you will seek out
• Research that you will now read
• What else?
