This document provides examples of how mobile devices and apps are being used to enhance teaching and learning in colleges across Scotland. It describes projects at South Lanarkshire College, Perth College, Clydebank College, and Reid Kerr College that utilize tablets, QR codes, games, and augmented reality to provide interactive learning activities and assessments. The examples illustrate how mobile technologies can increase student engagement, promote self-directed learning, and provide new ways of formative assessment beyond traditional computer labs.

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.

ETUG2015-Mobile Technology Integration in an Applied Science Program: Forestr...Michael Paskevicius
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.

Creating accessible information using Microsoft Word: hints and tips for ever...Jisc Scotland
Most people who work in colleges regardless of their role produce Word documents. They are used to create learning and teaching material, to produce information about services, to communicate information across the organisation.
There is a legal obligation for colleges to ensure that no-one is disadvantaged because of a disability, to anticipate the needs of people who might be accessing your information and your services and to make reasonable adjustments to accommodate their needs. One simple thing that everyone can do to meet these obligations is to ensure that the material that they create using Microsoft Office is created inclusively, doing so will ensure that it is accessible to a wide range of people who use assistive technologies or who have difficulty accessing text based information.
This presentation will highlight some simple ways to make your documents accessible using Word 2010 and how well designed Word documents can be converted into accessible PDFs.
This presentation offers an overview of the built in inclusivity features of Apple iPad, iPhone, iPod devices.
It concentrates not only on inbuilt accessibility and inclusion but looks at apps to support learning and productivity.

3. “Mobile devices give us a unique opportunity to have
learners embedded in a realistic context at the same
time as having access to supporting tools”
Futurelab (2004)
“Looking at mobile learning in a wider context, we
have to recognize that mobile, personal, and
wireless devices are now radically transforming
societal notions of discourse and knowledge, and
are responsible for new forms of
art, employment, language, commerce, deprivation
, and crime, as well as learning.”
