Editor's Notes
- #2 An Introduction to iPads for Learning
- #3 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
- #4 According to a recent report from mobile manufacturer Ericsson, studies show that: “by 2015, 80% of people accessing the Internet will be doing so from mobile devices.” Perhaps more important for education: “Internet- capable mobile devices will outnumber computers within the next year.”
- #5 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
- #6 This is a learning area, please switch off all mobile phones.
- #7 Please turn on all mobile devices

- #17 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.
