What I learned today on Twitter

 iPad Studies at Abilene Christian U. Dig Deep
into Learning Outcomes http://bit.ly/q0lNGU
 25 percent higher on the transfer learning
assessments
 Top 100 Tools for Learning 2011

Mobile Phones, Toothbrushes and
Tablets
 Americans and Their Cell Phones (PEW Study
August 2011)
 53% of American adults own a smartphone
 51% of Adults used their handsets at least once
for quick information retrieval in the last month
 90% of Americans use their mobile handsets either
for texting or sending pictures
 73% of Americans use their handsets for both

Tablets
 Americans and Their Cell Phones (PEW Study

 Almost 1.2 Billion are smartphones
 Greater than 3 Billion are SMS Enabled

2.25 Billion Toothbrushes in Use
Worldwide (Hirsh)

Computer Adaptive Testing-
Intervention Spacing

 Spacing Effect
 First discovered in 1885 by cognitive
psychologist Herman Ebbinghaus
 Mind loses ability to recall based on a defined
curve
 Most efficient time to study a specific piece of
information is the point along the curve at
which it will soon be forgotten


 Memory Curve
 Varies according to individual
 Differs from one piece of information to
another

 Implications for Assessment
 Curves for each learning objective and
individual user must be plotted independently
 Dynamic formative assessment
 Personalized learning assessment



Practice 3
1
 Once the information has been reviewed, the curve
flattens and the study interval increases.
 After a few repetitions the information has been firmly
imprinted in long-term memory.

Mobile MySportsPulse

 Science and Math education
combined with sports through
mobile learning
 Can be done through SMS,
IVR, email or web browser
 Voice recording or video from
sports celebrities
 Answer sent back and scored by
automated system
 Timed intervals that have
been proven to produce
learning outcomes and
reinforcement

Mobile MySportsPulse
 Impact/Summary
 The numbers, even short-term,
are promising, and point to the
significant impact that MSP can
have on our education system
and society as a whole should the
program vastly broaden its reach
and implementation.
 Nearly 97% of students feel
somewhat to very comfortable
using a cell phone for learning.
 After completing the program,
16% of participants expressed a
greater interest in math and
science, and sports watching and
sport playing both increased,
94% and 30% respectively.

Changing Learning Landscape

 Dramatic Shift in the Workforce
 Millennials currently compose roughly 35% of
the US Workforce, and are projected to be
47% of the US workforce by 2014. (Willyerd)
 Preferred method of training is Mentoring and
not Instructor-led Training; first generation
ever. (Willyerd)

Google Leadership Game

 Interactive experience using Moving
Knowledge for leadership, new product launch
and presentation skills
 Represents a “gLearning” mashup with 7-8
Google tools- YouTube, Gmail, GoogleDocs,
Moderator, GoogleTalk, etc.
 1 Month curriculum created and produced in 3
weeks. 1 year program in 6 weeks. Time and
Cost Efficient

Moving Knowledge

The Moving Knowledge Engine is able to interface with Multimodal
several modes of communication including Text Messages, Delivery and
Interaction
Email, Interactive Voice Response, and the Internet giving
users the ability to access content from virtually anywhere.

Curriculum for gLearning @ Google
The Moving Knowledge engine bridges the gap between Google content and
applications by providing keywords that can be tracked as part of the game engine.
Gmail This allows for statistics to be shown on Leader boards, Curriculum Tracking for
Triggered effective analysis and customized reporting.

 Increasing Mobile Workforce
 The number of mobile workers accessing
enterprise systems worldwide topped the 1
billion mark in 2010 on the way to 1.2 billion
by 2013, or more than a third of the world’s
workforce. (IDC)

Mobile Augmented Reality is:
 One’s perception of reality enhanced
through the technology of a
handheld device.

(Onboarding)
 walk into and
access
information about
the company,
layer content, job
openings
 enabling a 360
degree view of
the space, look up
at the multilevel
ceiling, down at
the tile and
wooden floors,

Contingency Contracting Simulation

 Training simulation for DAU
 Uses elements of role
playing and pervasive or
Alternate Reality Gaming
 Uses common technologies:
email, phone calls, SMS
 Students interact with in-simulation characters
 To accommodate small, asynchronous groups
most elements are pre-produced and

 Gamification
 Defined as the use of gameplay mechanics for
non-game applications.
 Analysts predict that by 2015, more than 50%
of organizations will gamify their innovation
processes. (Gartner)
 By 2014..more than 70% of Global 2000
organizations will have at least one gamified
application… (Gartner)

Gamification in the Enterprise
Case Study: Next Jump
 Next Jump, the rewards
company created an
internal platform that was
designed to increase the
staff's use of the
company’s gym.
 Employees were split into
five teams and the team
that recorded the greatest
amount of exercise time
received a cash based
reward.

engagement/

Gamification in the Enterprise
Case Study: Next Jump
 The gamification of going
to the company gym
increased the amount of
staff who exercised from
20% to 70%.
 Behavior modification
resulting in about half of
those employed by Next
Jump beginning to exercise
regularly.

 Social Gaming
 Social games are web-based games that can
be played with other people and include
interactive elements or content that can be
shared online.
 The competitive element associated with
sharing achievements publicly has also been a
key driver: the fact that everyone in your social
network can see your score is powerful, as it
has a real-life impact.

MyMarriottHotel

 Facebook Social Media game
(Multiplayer)
 Showcase’s hospitality career
opportunities by running
hotel kitchen (50,000 jobs to
fill worldwide by the end of
the year)

customers…and lose points for
poor service.
 Ultimately, players are
rewarded when their operation
turns a profit.

 Other Smartphone features being linked to Mobile
Web, like Camera, SMS
 Pre-Caching enabling pre-loaded data to device
