Mobile Learning?
Nov 9th
Been giving a lot of thought to mobile learning lately. After some reflection of what I’ve seen in blogs, at a recent seminar, and at conferences etc, there seems to be several primary approaches to or uses of “mobile learning.”Mobile Delivery of Content.

Mobile Communication. In addition to mobile delivery of content, mobile learning can take advantage of anytime/anywhere and always on communication channels to enable increased communication: learner-to-learner, learner-to-faculty, learner-to-group, or learner-to-public.
Augmented Reality. Rather than simply delivering traditional content through mobile devices, augmented reality learning leverages mobile technologies to juxtapose information and content with an out-of-classroom type experience. For example, having learners use Art, an iPhone application, to access content and information while viewing select pieces by an artist during an individual museum visit. More >

Are there any apps you use on a regular basis that I currently don’t have? How do you use those apps? How could having the app and using it the way you use it be helpful for me? More >
