Interactive Multimedia changes...
• Individual lifestyles• Work, its location and organisation• Government:local, regional, national• Commerce, retail and finance• Entertainment• EducationALL IN ONE GENERATION

A Technology Agenda
• Internet/WWW• Virtual Reality• Interactive Media/DVD• Voice Recognition• Quantum/Biological/Fuzzy computing• ATM/DAB/DVB/DTT/UMTS• Intelligent agents• Smart devices/homes• Systems Integration

Backing winners choosing technologies
Lesson of technology history Everybody has always the killer technology – The book– Cassette tape – VHS – betamax– Laser Disk– Cd – DVD – MP3
Technologies come and go learning doesnt
The age where you chose technology is gone or at least going
The pace of technology change will slow and become more incremental
Examples of getting it wrong
• Every town will need a telephone • The world will only need 5 or 6 computers • SMS will never catch on • The internet is a new idea of a network
(Learn from the telegraph in the US in the 1890 )
The Growth of Mobile

So in short get on with it
Avoid the classic mistakes• Give students your chosen device (they will have 1,2,3 already)• All students will have access and use high end function devices• Learners just want you to invade there existing digital networks• The lie of the Digital Native • Build it and they will come• Choose on technology approach and stop looking at others • Assume that adoption is incremental and assured • That you can control adoption and use of mobile• Beware of the unexpected positives and negatives
Helpful tips
• Digital residents and digital visitors• Learners are individuals and don't make assumptions • Learners aren't always your biggest challenge or you biggest
threat • Collaboration and shared approaches with local variation are
good thing
The technology connectivity inverted pyramid
Ubiquitous
widespread
geeky
Actually multiple pyramids
Mobile Learning or Learner Mobility
1 :1 computing doesn't mean Solo learning Adults children learn better in groups whereas OLPC project premised on solo learningContent is important but collaboration is King Location and context are trends to watch
The question to ask?
• Where do you want to be in the long term 5 year• Where do you want to be in the short term 3 years• Where are you now ?• Plus your own specific ones
Reminder: M-learning is broader than just courses
(it’s the journey)

Basic list of uses of mobile in Education
• Institutional service • Repacking supply of existing content Educational content• Mobile specific mini course • Augmenting the learner (digital toolbox ,pencil case)• Augmenting existing course materials e books augmented
book • Augmenting reality
Institutional service
• Marketing• Recruitment• Induction orientation • Library service• Catering • Health• Social • Timetabling• Disaster recovery • Alumni
Complicated APPS for smart phones campus info
Mobile access to institutional services
Molly Project (Mobile Oxford)
Tribal MIS systems (70% of UK Higher Ed)
Repacking supply of existing content Educational content
• Simulations• Real life footage• Podcasts vodcasts• E books• QR codes• SMs Delivery Platforms or straight jackets will the
future be like Lego

Works on more devices
Richer interactivity
Mobile course interactivity involves compromise
But there are some great toolkits & frameworks out there trying to make sense of this ...
The future answer for rich content across devices is the browser (I might be wrong )
The solutions for now • Apps (native)• Downloading/preloading content • Top rate instructional design• Simple but clever . Complicated and clever road to disaster • Robust delivery platforms for and in the future (you choose ?)
Mobile Learning is just about Learner Mobility.
Whatever the age the technology is no less
advanced its just different
