Mobile learning- New Tools for a New CurriculumJohn Sloan
This presentation was made at the Pearson Celebrating a 21st Century Education Conference, November 2010.
It gives background research and exemplars of how mobile devices can be used to enhance 21st Century Maths and Science learning
This study aims to investigate the benefits and challenges of Cloud Computing and Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) in Higher Education. The review will focus on the best practices and challenges faced by organizations that have implemented cloud sourcing and BYOD in efforts to save money. Cloud computing is a service for delivering computer hardware, software, applications, and even entire data centers, on the Internet instead of having to spend a capital investment to offer those services locally. In this review, we will evaluate cloud computing from four perspectives: Data Security, Faculty Training, Teaching/Learning, and Cost. In addition, the “Bring Your Own Device” concept is rapidly expanding and has significant value for educators and students. In reviewing BYOD, we will evaluate and focus on the following perspectives: Policy Creation, Data Security & Network Reliability, User Education & Support and Teaching & Learning. With the increasing interest in academia for the use of innovative technologies, this examination will be useful for Faculty, Staff, and Students in effort to understand how “Cloud Computing” and “BYOD” can create a better learning experience, both in and out of the classroom. Highlighting the lessons learned during implementation will be beneficial for Information Technologists in efforts to provide a path for successful adoption and use while demonstrating the current trends, educational benchmarks for use, and future needs in research and development in both “Cloud Computing” and “BYOD” in Higher Education.

As mobile devices continue to proliferate throughout society, the question of how higher education might take advantage of these devices for use in teaching and learning remains unclear. While many institutions now have ‘bring your own device’ (BYOD) policies, others have mandated access to mobile devices at the program or institutional level.
The purpose of this session is present the case of how our department of forestry went about implementing a tablet initiative. The tablet was a required device for both faculty and students entering the program in September 2014 with the intended goals of reducing textbook purchase costs for students, mirroring industry standard practices in mobile device usage and enabling collaborative and active learning in the classroom.
In the session we will share what we have learned thus far in supporting the initiative and reflect on feedback collected from faculty and students in interviews, focus groups and observations throughout the program. At the end of the session, participants should be able to identify the challenges, issues and best practices for implementing a tablet initiative at this level.

iDo or iDon't ‐ Using Tablets in the Classroom - Course Technology Computing Conference
Presenter: Lucy Parker, California State University, Northridge
myCSUNtablet Initiative is a partnership of California State University, Northridge and Apple, Inc. that seeks to reduce the cost and increase the quality of learning materials for students. Participating students will use iPads and gain immediate access to e-books and related e-learning materials in a suite of courses in select majors. Participating faculty will receive an iPad and help from professional course designers who understand the relation among effective teaching, creative use of authoring tools, and accessible design. Why CSUN? The academic plans and IT Vision@2015 have anticipated a widening deployment of portable devices and cloud technology for teaching and learning. Faculty already are using such strategies to engage students with different styles and paces for learning. CSUN students are urban commuters, tech-savvy, and on tight budgets. Portability, cost control, and media-enriched content that can be personalized are their common expectations. Why Apple? Many companies make tablets; several produce and solicit applications but few have thought as holistically as Apple. They are sensitive to users’ preferences and have created a system that integrates devices, applications, authoring tools, repositories, and consultation. We at CSUN can benefit from progressive, coherent thinking as we re-think course design and delivery. Why now? At CSUN, the largest college has issued iPads to the faculty, as have departments in other colleges. The device has become the industry standard in nearby K-12 and helping professions, with whom we place interns and graduates. And the governor signaled in the budget an interest in supporting technological solutions for persistent problems in access, cost, and completion in higher education. Finally, the surge in hybrid courses and e-books that our faculty author indicates that CSUN has reached a tipping point for strategic change. An iPad-centric curriculum also offers some exciting possibilities to transform information delivery as well as student participation. Like all pedagogy, it can be a positive and even progressive form of education. Or not, depending on how the actual curriculum is designed and implemented. Professors need to change their archaic views on attention spans and realize that students and society in general are integrating the digital world into the real world. For better or worse, it’s inevitable and professors need to play along. This lecture will discuss TOP (10-20) iPad uses in the classrooms but also discusses concerns on standards of teaching and learning and if low-cost faculty-generated etextbooks are a real match to top quality publisher generated traditional books/ebooks.
The Advent of Mobile Learning Technology offers enormous possibilities that can be leveraged for learning. Mobile Learning Technology is in user’s pockets. Leverage it now.

Technology: what are we losing? Does it matter? Michael Coghlan
Such is the scale of change wrought by the current Digital Age that it is being compared with the profound changes that occurred as a result of the invention of printing in the 15th century, and the industrial revolution of the 18th century. Every new wave of technology produces changes. Some of these changes are immediately welcome, and their benefits obvious. Some changes are easy to see and predict. Other changes take time, are less immediately obvious, and are not always welcome. With each change, with each gain, there is some loss.
We are clearly in the middle of massive technology driven change. What then are we losing? Is this loss an inevitable consequence of change? Should we be trying to identify practices and values that ought not to change, or has that horse already bolted?

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

4. Exactly what is a ‘game changer’? A Game Changer: Involves a paradigm shift Changes the rules about how things are taught/delivered Changes the mindset of the players; the types of players that can be involved
5. GAME CHANGER as an educational tool? SOME SUGGESTED REASONS The iPad is a personal device and reasonably costed Users to date are finding that through the use of different apps, students are able to choose the type of product they construct to demonstrate their understanding. The abundance of apps and access to information on a vast range of topics allows students to pursue areas they are interested in learning about. Notes can be kept in one spot, commented on and available anywhere. There is anywhere, anytime access to current information that contains text, sound, images and interactivity. Information is represented with rich multimedia and data visualisation techniques. Light and portable, easily carried in the school bag and to and from class.
6. GAME CHANGER as an educational tool? Heavy schoolbooks could in time be replaced by virtual eBooks and these can be updated in a timely fashion. Documents and tasks can be uploaded to iBooks by the teacher and downloaded onto the iPad by the student and vice versa. Texts and documents can be annotated and commented on by multiple students and teachers. The iPad can be used with peripherals. For example the iPad can be slotted into a case which connects to a full size keyboard for extended periods of writing. There are also a number of other docking options which provide access to a full sixed keyboard. Voice recognition apps can also be useful for inputting large amounts of text and is another option worth investigating. iPad is an intuitive device and minimal technical support is required.
7. GAME CHANGER as an educational tool? IPAD ONLY The touch interface correlates to the technology students use in their everyday life and allows a high level of interactivity. A 10 hour battery life means the iPad can be used throughout the entire school day. Instant startup of the iPad means greater use of class time for learning.
8. WHERE? Adelaide University 1st Year Science Walford Anglican School for Girls (High School) Deakin University Technical and Further Education, South Australia (TAFESA) – Hospitality, Hairdressing
9. DEAKIN UNIVERSITY Small scale, conservative approach Will evaluate publisher websites and other e-offerings (small number of staff and students) Expectations: that after initial excitement students will see ipad as just a ‘very limited computer’, and will just use it to engage in mundane activities like email, Facebook, etc
11. PARADIGM SHIFTS Pedagogy – Educators must shift from didactic models of “teaching” to constructivist models emphasizing “learning”. Networking (is not cheating) Literacy – Multiliteracy Formality – Informality Ownership: Proprietary to Open Source Sharing – copyright should encourage sharing not stifle it > Creative Commons Classification – taxonomic to folksonomic See Vance Stevens at http://braz2010vance.pbworks.com/w/page/27979344/PLN
20. The Adelaide University iPad Experiment Every student enrolling in 1st year Science in 2011 is given an ipad If they are still enrolled beyond the ‘census date’ it becomes theirs to keep Ipad launch intended to coincide with a change in delivery method 10 minute podcast
21. The Adelaide Uni iPad Experiment IT as enablers not controllers – enlisted as ‘help’; created dedicated wireless networks for two lecture theatres ‘retail model’ Lots of peer assistance happening of its own accord Has already transformed lectures into classes Students now automatically sit in groups
22. ISSUES ARISING Some PDF docs a problem in Safari; need to be checked in advance, or alternative browser used (eg Terra) Problems with other software (eg My Writing Lab) not working Digital Rights Management (DRM): access to subscription journals; Google searches publisher content better than publishers’ apps do! Files are inside apps – need another app to manage them egDropbox Disability – can help or hinder CC image by Leigh Blackall
23. Creative Commons Licensed by http://www.flickr.com/photos/voidobjects/5189806908/in/photostream/ Macbook Air v iPad Turns out that the Macbook is easier & quicker for both typing & finding information. More screen real estate & better task switching were mentioned. Now the iPad is mainly used for games and stuff.
24. BACKGROUND/CONTEXT Funded by Digital Education Revolution (DER; Federal Government) No restrictions on net access New metrics needed to measure success of trial (school already v successful) USE OF IPADS 2 year lifespan for ipads “bring your own Internet” approach to technical support (but have organised tech support with Apple) Using Box.net for file storage Important that leaders (staff) are seen to be using these tools > staff will be actively engaged in trial http://www.walford.net.au/ IPADS AT WALFORD Original CC image from Wesley Fryer
25. IPADS AT WALFORD WILL THEY BE A GAMECHANGER? Portable, personalised Premise is that apps are intuitive, efficient, fast, use fewer resources Part of broadening of provision – recognition that students have their own technology, and are used to managing it Ipads seen as the initiative to change: “tools for transformation” Ipads not proxy friendly Goal: all texts will eventually be on ipads(students can expect to use 2 ipadsduring time at secondary school) ON THE HORIZON: Mobile me (cloud storage); Thunderbolt – new breed of ‘USB’
27. APPS Must haves (the Apple family): Pages Number (spreadsheet) Keynote iMovie* Garageband* *Emphasis on creating – even for assessment PDF Mark Up Tools
28. APPS Audionote Good Reader printing Printopia (defies new paradigm) Paper Cut
29. APPS Other Possibles: Noterize (notetaking; used at another large Adelaide college) Browser Duo (split screen – browser and note taking tool) Wikihood (Augmented Reality)
