T3L's Mobile Learning of the Future
A Future of Learning at Your Fingertips
What is Mobile Learning? What are some of the tools of ML?
Educational Value, Methods, and Approaches to the Implementation of ML
Mobile learning will support a wide variety of conceptions when teaching. Different teachers and methods will have different conceptions of teaching. It depends on how teachers deliver the content and support student learning. Mobile devices support the transmission and delivery of multi-media content. Mobile devices can tap into different “learning styles” to meet the needs of students.
Mobile devices support discussion and discourse, real-time, synchronous and asynchronous, using voice, text and multi-media.
For example, teachers can provide personalized learning for each student by creating lessons that are interactive when using mobile devices.
Mobile learning supports context-specific and immediate learning. It can provide an opportunity for distance learning in order to connect learners.
There are a variety of ways that students can use their mobile devices by keeping up with current events. Students can use their camera-phones by capturing images of breaking news and post them straight onto shared media spaces such as Flickr or YouTube.
Within the classroom, students would learn information by using a textbook. Today, mobile devices can now deliver information into smaller chunks.
