What is mobile learning?

Poll 1

• Who currently uses mobile learning?

• Yes

• No

Define mobile learning

From Chad Udell’s book “Learning Everywhere” Managing Director Float Learning

• Instructional material that is delivered Just-in-Time or “on-demand” at the point of application

• Placed in the context of the learner’s specific situation

• Safety checklist for a machine operator – other examples?

• Presented in a specific and concise format that provides just enough information for the task at hand.

ADL describes mobile learning as: “Leveraging ubiquitous mobile technology for the adoption or augmentation of knowledge, behaviors, or skills through education, training, or performance support while the mobility of the learner may be independent of time, location, and space.”

How is mLearning different?

Four main areas of difference

Key Elements of mLearning

Three J’s

What mLearning IS and IS NOTmLearning Is

• Bite-sized chunks of learning

• Easy to use, contextual, simple and elegant

• Produced with clear objectives and thoughtful design

• It solves a problem/closes a gap

• Not created “because it can be”

• May or may not have a formal assessment

mLearning is NOT

• Full scale eLearning module or courses sized to fit on a tablet or phone

• A universal replacement for all other forms of training

• To be used as a “Quickie” solution for any training solution

• Necessarily need a smartphone or GUI at all – podcasting – video learning

What is pull learning?

Pull Coaching

Robert Hargrove author of “Masterful Coaching” says

Pull coaching occurs when coaches ask others what they would like to do in the future. Learning, in pull coaching, is pulled along by the goals and desires of the learners.

Push Versus Pull

PUSH CONTENT

Often found in highly regulated

companies, industries, or verticals,

and is typically found on most

Learning Management Systems.

PULL CONTENT

Is the opposite. It is content that

employees or users in organization

take at their leisure. Users can go

and pull down whatever they want,

whenever the want. It places the

emphasis on the learner to decide

for himself or herself what they

need to learn

Push

Organization -> Content -> User

Generally Synchronous Learning

Structured, Rigid, Static

Formal Training

Organization-directed. Organization decides importance, Organization decides content scope

Experts set curriculum

Tightly knitted components

Requires extrinsic motivation ("You do this")

Examples: Training, Lecture, Synchronous Learning, Courses, Workshops

Pull

User <- Content <- Organization

Generally Asynchronous Learning

Designed, Dynamic, Flexible

Informal Learning

User-directed learning. User decides importance, User decides content scope

Learner defined curriculum

Loosely connected autonomous components

Relies on intrinsic motivation ("I want to do this.")

Examples: Learning, Social Learning, Informal Learning, Asynchronous Learning

Differences

What is mini-learning?

Definition

Mini-Learning is also known as

• Mini-bites of learning or

• Learning chunks

Mini-bite – a trend

• #8 - "Mini-bites" of learning: Not all training is focused on teaching a new hire how to perform a task from scratch. Some of it is incremental or remedial in nature.

• Lessons that are five minutes in length at maximum

• Performance support is one possible use for "mini-bite" trainings.

Creating mini-Learning

Content• List out definitions of

misrepresentation

• Display process on how to purchase good parts

Context• Scenario about getting fired from a

job due to misrepresentation

• Scenario about high waste and rejects because parts were purchased incorrectly
