Mobile learning, or m-learning, refers to learning that takes advantage of portable technologies and can occur anywhere. With the rise of mobile devices and a new digital generation of students, m-learning allows for anytime, anywhere interaction with tutors, other learners, and educational content. While m-learning provides benefits like increased student motivation and engagement, it also presents challenges such as potential distraction and cheating as well as issues with device compatibility and teacher training. For m-learning to be effective in schools, clear guidelines, cost analysis, and continued support are needed.

Hoe gebruiken leerkrachten hun ELO?
Cindy De Smet onderzoekt binnen haar doctoraat het gebruik van de Elektronische Leeromgeving (ELO).
In een eerste luik zocht ze een antwoord op de volgende 2 vragen: 1) op welke manier gebruiken leerkrachten de ELO, 2) welke factoren zorgen ervoor dat leerkrachten een ELO gebruiken. Op basis van vragenlijstonderzoek bevroeg ze 505 leerkrachten secundair onderwijs. De resultaten leverden niet alleen antwoorden op de vooropgestelde vragen, maar ook praktische inzichten voor leerkrachten en directies.
Het onderzoek werd gepubliceerd in Computers & Education.

Presentation of Grainne Conole, Dublin City University, Ireland, for the Open Education Week's third day webinar on "Ongoing initiatives for Open Education in Europe" - 6 March 2019
Recordings of the discussion are available: https://eden-online.adobeconnect.com/pcpo9gbaq1t1/
At UVic, we wanted to gain a better understanding of the technology devices students bring and use at campus, so we surveyed students to gather data on the ownership and/or usage of: laptops, cellphones, tablets, email, collaborative document editing, desktop video, note taking, file backup, printing, and social-media.
Our project goals included:
- Discover technologies students were bringing with them to school and their use.
- Explore ways to use personal technology for research and engaging instruction.
- Identify means to provide equitable access to technologies for students who cannot afford to purchase it for themselves.
By the end of the session, participants will have a clear view of the technologies UVic students bring with them to school, as well as some potential ways those tools can be leveraged to provide more engaging instruction and better services to students.

Personalisation, on-demand and predictive analytics: e-learning’s next leap f...Mindfire LLC
While online learning gained popularity in the 90’s, off late it has gained further traction. With the Covid-19 pandemic and its associated lockdowns, e-learning has emerged as one of the prominent uses of technology in the 21st century. E-learning as an educational experience is delivered electronically. It comprises many elements such as live or pre-recorded lecture content, videos, quizzes and other interactive elements.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

2. Digital Shift
‘Our students have changed radically. Today’s
students are no longer the people our
educational system was designed to teach
(Marc Prensky, 2001)’
3. Digital Shift
• Rapid development of mobile devices
• Growth of the digital generation
• Government support for education using
technology
• Increasing number of mobile applications for
education
• New classes requiring a device for every
student
4. What is m-learning?
Learning that happens across locations, or that
takes advantage of learning opportunities
offered by portable technologies
M-learning = ubiquitous learning
“Anytime, anywhere learning”
Interaction with tutors, learners, and content
5. • Personal Digital assistants (PDAs)
• Tablet PCs
• E-book readers
• Mobile phones
• Smartphones
• Portable media players (iPod Touch)
M-learning tools
9. Advantages
• Anytime, anywhere learning
• Enjoyment, motivation to learn
• Student-centered learning process
• Synchronize with students preferred learning
style
• Change passive to active learning
• Less expensive than laptops or other
technologies
10. Challenges
• Potential for cheating and distraction
(e.g., ringing cell phones – the biggest
distraction in classrooms)
• Academic misconduct (e.g., pictures, texting,
etc.)
• Filtering inappropriate material
• Less interpersonal relationship
• OS compatibility (iOS, Android), battery life,
durability
• Professional development for teachers
11. How can m-learning work in schools?
Need to establish clear pedagogical guidelines,
cost analysis, teacher & staff training, and
continued tech support.
12. • Audience response systems (feedback)
• Camera: stills/videos
• Voice recorders: podcast, etc.
• Research via the internet (Google, Wiki’s, blogs)
• Applications
Ways of m-learning
16. Applications
• E-book readers examples
• Learning Management Systems (LMS) examples
• Educational games examples
• Collaboration tools examples
• Adaptive assessment services examples
• Distance tutoring and homework support examples
• Social networking examples
17. Self-questions to choose educational apps
• What do I expect to teach with the app?
• What learning do I want to occur?
• Is the app really educational?
• What is the value in the classroom, for my
child/student/client?
• Can the app be used for cooperative learning
activities, turn taking and group learning?
• What is the cost of the app? If it is free, does it
have advertising or a link that a student could
easily be distracted by?
18. Discussion
• Are there areas of your own teaching in
which mobile learning could play a part?
• If yes, what would you need to know in
order to implement it?
• If not, why not? (Identify reasons mobile
learning might be inappropriate or
unusable)
