1. Mobile Learning Resources
Authored to be accessible to a broad range of mobile devices
Surveyed 350+ students across 3 colleges – device ownership/preference …. and is it worthwhile?
Experimented with video formats & quiz authoring tools on a range of test devices/network connections Settled on MP4 as the widest accessible video format
for all kinds of mobile devices Also currently experimenting with outputting from
Camtasia using HTML5

All courses made accessible to learners through Moodle
Used Moodle networking to share courses between 3 separate instances of Moodle in 3 institutions
Now entering final testing phase for students
4. Distribution of materials
Moodle networking inefficient distribution model
Difficult to find video formats that work equally well on all devices (without need for extra apps…)
Network speeds limit video size
Key lessons so far…negatives
Students respond well to format BYOD model works well Co-operative models for authoring of
materials across institutions effective
Key lessons so far…positives
