10 Emerging Educa4onal Technologies and How They Are Being Used Across the Globe
hCp://www.opencolleges.edu.au/informed/features/the-‐ten-‐emerging-‐technologies-‐in-‐educa(on-‐and-‐how-‐they-‐are-‐being-‐used-‐across-‐the-‐globe/#ixzz33kG7GSR3
The exploding growth of hand-‐held devices (almost 370 million tablets will be sold by 2016) is transforming higher educa4on in terms of recrui4ng, teaching, learning, communica4on, collabora4on, social interac4on, engagement, produc4vity and the delivery of educa4on.
Mobile technology is uniquely posiHoned to
conHnue to drive economic, environmental and social change
“The mobile phone is the single most transforma4ve tool for development,” according to Jeffrey Sachs, Director of the Earth Ins(tute, Columbia University. As one of the most rapidly adopted technologies in history, mobiles are increasingly ubiquitous in today’s world. Rela(vely inexpensive and easy to use, mobiles do not have the same barriers to access as other technologies, such as broadband internet, which needs a fixed line infrastructure.
Mobile Learning • Mobile learning is a customized experience based on the device, the features, and the learner.
• Example: A tradi(onal computer lab will look the same across the world (same monitor, computer, etc.). Unlike mobile devices, where the user dictates the device, the learning environment and experiences.
Mobile Technology Profile
• 90% of American adults have a cell phone
• 67% of cell owners find themselves checking their phone for messages, alerts, or calls — even when they don’t no4ce their phone ringing or vibra4ng.
• 44% of cell owners have slept with their phone next to their bed because they wanted to make sure they didn’t miss any calls, text messages, or other updates during the night.
• 29% of cell owners describe their cell phone as “something they can’t imagine living without.”

DermoScreen Cancer Screening App developed at the University of Houston
DermoScreen, can detect skin cancer 85 percent of the (me. That’s the same accuracy rate as at the dermatologist’s office and is more accurate than a primary care physician's diagnosis, according to engineering technology Professor George Zouridakis, who started working on the project in 2005. *Len is $500

More than a Phone or for Games: Phones as Educa4onal and Workforce Tool
ü Telescope ü Microscope ü Naviga4on ü Heart Monitor ü Blood Pressure ü Workforce Tools ü Musical Instruments ü Library ü Musical Instrument ü Science Lab
iStethoscope • Researchers at Oxford
University and South Africa’s University of Cape Town tapped into cellphones’ exis(ng microphones to develop this mobile stethoscope. The app allows pa(ents to record their own heartbeats, and then forward along the audio to doctors who can track the development of condi(ons, such as tuberculosis pericardi(s.
NETRA • Hailing from MIT’s Media Lab, the
Near Eye Tool for Refrac(ve Assessment, or NETRA, transforms smartphones into low-‐cost, portable diagnos(c devices that can detect a host of vision disorders, including nearsightedness and farsightedness. The $2 clip-‐on eyepiece exploits the increasing resolu(on of smartphone screens to deliver a prescrip(on for the appropriate correc(ve lenses in a few minutes. More than a half-‐billion people live with undiagnosed eye disorders, 90 percent of whom in the developing world, and NETRA is a promising alterna(ve to the costly diagnos(cs that have dominated the field for decades.
LUCAS • Aydogan Ozcan, winner of the 2011
Presiden(al Early Career Award for Scien(sts and Engineers and a PM Breakthrough Award honoree, is turning camera phones into diagnos(c imaging systems. Doing away with costly and fragile microscope lenses, LUCAS, or the Lensless Ultra-‐wide-‐field Cell monitoring Array plaxorm, is based on Shadow imaging system and uses the phone’s camera sensor to create digital holograms of cell samples that can be quickly be analyzed with custom soyware. The system can help to diagnose malaria by picking up on misshaped red blood cells that are a hallmark of the disease, and it could aid in tracking T-‐cell levels of HIV pa(ents.
MobiUS
• FDA-‐approved MobiUS is the first ultrasound imaging system to work on smartphones. The soyware, made by MobiSante, could be used for a slew of clinical applica(ons, including confirming and tracking pregnancies and assessing kidney disorders. The images and video can be shared over email, or through a standard USB connec(on.
Making high quality eye care portable, cost effec4ve and intui4ve; Leveraging mobile phone technology to extend the availability of a full range of ophthalmic diagnos(c tests outside of high income hospital departments to anywhere in the world: hospital wards, GP surgeries, pa(ent homes and we’re even being tested in the Antarc(c!
The Vision To empower general health workers and eye care prac((oners to diagnose
eye diseases and provide a means for managing and monitoring the treatment of pa(ents, anywhere in the world.
The Problem 285 million people worldwide are visually impaired 39 million of these people are blind 80% of blindness is avoidable 90% of blind people live in low-‐income countries
The Solu4on: Mobile Phones
PEEK – a smart-‐phone based system for comprehensive eye examina(ons in even the remotest of se{ngs. It is easy to use, affordable and portable.
ReSound Hearing Aid & App
Say hello to the world's smartest hearing aid ReSound LiNXTM offers a superior sound experience, se{ng new standards for hearing aid performance. This Made for iPhone® hearing aid provides direct sound streaming, personalized to your every need.

with a service like Foursquare, Gowalla, Facebook Places, and Shopkick.
• 66 percent of mobile workers had checked out (made a purchase or other transac(on) using their smartphone.
• 87 percent used their smartphone for noHficaHons such as sports scores, Facebook updates, SMS text messages, or other always-‐on applica(ons.
• 57 percent had used their smartphone as an e-‐Hcket or mobile boarding card.

Nursing & Allied Health
• Physicians are widely known as early adopters of smartphones, and that might be partly because they have been a popular subject for researchers conduc(ng surveys about the impact of mobile health in hospitals. A Study last year by Wolters Kluwer Health’s LippincoC Williams Wilkins (LLW) of 3,900 nurses indicated in early 2012, 71 percent of nurses were already using smartphones professionally.
• Enspektos found that physicians were more trus4ng of medical informa4on in their mobile apps than nurses were. That sta(s(c complements another finding from the LLW nurses survey: Of the 71 percent of nurses who already use smartphones, 87 percent also want a printed version of the same content they have in their app.
10 Must-‐have iPhone Applica4ons for Registered Nurses
As a registered nurse, implemen(ng pa(ent care plans for your pa(ents can be stressful, especially if you have to siy through several textbooks and spiral bound assessment books for medical informa(on. It may be even more frustra(ng if you are a nursing student. There is hope if you have an iPhone. Ayer downloading some apps onto your phone, you will be able to obtain all the medical informa(on you need, from lab test interpreta(ons, to accessing your favorite nursing journals-‐-‐ all in the palm of your hand.
