The last 20 years of mobile learning: signposts of the past, present and future
Keynote at the mLearn 2017 — 16th World Conference on Mobile and Contextual Learning.
30 October - 1 November 2017
Larnaca, Cyprus
Abstract:
Back in 1997 while working at Media Lab Helsinki, Finland my colleagues and I started a research project called Future Learning Environments. Our main partners were educational psychologists at the University of Helsinki. Soon after this we organized ourselves as the Learning Environments research group (LeGroup). The mission of the research group was (and still is) to explore ways to improve the quality of teaching and learning with smart technological solutions. From the very beginning our research focused on the use of mobile devices, with the idea of bringing learning to meaningful contexts, and to support learners' knowledge building and reflective activities. The tools designed and developed, as part of our research, have helped students to develop their self-regulation, a skill closely related to students' well-being, to forms of deep learning and to autonomy. With our research we have not been driven by the common attempt to save time and money, instead we have aimed to abilities to innovate and to create social change.
During my talk I will make a retrospective journey through some of our work, starting with some early experiments in computer supported collaborative learning (CSCL) with school children using Nokia Communicators (1997) and Nokia Internet Tablets (2005). I will also introduce some of our research on educational challenges in the Global South that made use of the affordances of basic mobile phones for knowledge sharing (2003-2005). Furthermore I will discuss our more recent work on mobile learning research dealing with the role of mobile devices in reflective and self-regulated learning, an augmented-reality application for workplace learning and on the challenges and possibilities of using biometric measures along wearable computers for collecting data for learning analytics. Through this journey, I aim thus to outline a few signposts of the past and present of mobile learning research, design and development. My hope is to help us discuss the future of education and the future tools to be designed when most things and activities in our life are digitally enhanced and networked.

Lightning-Fast Tech Tools: Awesome Results in One Lesson or Less!
The document introduces six lightning-fast tech tools for creating presentations, videos, audio recordings, and storybooks. It provides a brief overview of each tool's features and capabilities. It also offers multiple ideas for using the tools in educational settings, such as creating slideshows about science topics with Haiku Deck or recording book reviews with Vocaroo. The tools are presented as quick and easy options for students to demonstrate their learning through creative projects.
Visual communication and the web
The document discusses the history and evolution of the internet and world wide web. It provides background on early computer networks in the 1970s, the development of the web by Tim Berners-Lee in 1991, the creation of popular early websites and services like Yahoo, Wikipedia, and search engines like Google. It also examines the shift to a more participatory "Web 2.0" model where people can create and share content online.

Africa’s journey to Open Education
Africa faces three main challenges in education: lack of infrastructure, limited digital fluency, and insufficient learner support. Open educational resources (OER) and mobile technologies can help address these challenges by improving access to education across Africa. Initiatives like OER Africa and MOOCs aim to create and share open educational content. A pilot English writing MOOC accessed via cell phones will analyze learner practices and gather research data in a context-specific way. Guiding principles for open education in Africa emphasize creating policies to support OER development and use, improving technology infrastructure, and expanding access through collaborative learning centers.

Poverty Presentation 2
There are approximately 2.2 billion children in the world, with 1 billion living in poverty. Every day, between 26,500-30,000 children die due to poverty, which is less than 1% of what the world spends annually on weapons. While putting every child in school by 2000 was achievable, it did not happen. People and organizations work to help the poor through donations, volunteering, raising awareness, and providing microloans. Individuals can help by raising awareness, donating money and goods, and supporting charities.
