Categories of m-learning benefits   Accessibility

–  access to learning opportunities, content, experts/mentors, other learners

  Immediacy –  on-demand learning, real-time communication and data

sharing, situated or contextualized learning   Personalization

–  bite-size learning on familiar devices; promotes active learning and a more personalized experience

  Intelligence –  advanced features make learning richer through

location-aware features, data capture, multimedia

Why mLearning for development?

“ just the right content, on just the right device, for just the right person, at just the right time.”

- Wayne Hodgins, "The Future of Learning Objects," presentation at the Learning Objects Forum, Menlo Park,

California, September 3, 2002.

m-Learning for development

  Accessibility: to devices and from devices to content   Ease of use, rapid deployment and uptake   Teacher training crisis can be mediated by forms of open

and distance learning. M-learning can support this. –  Distance learning may be more efficient in many ways than

traditional forms because of the situated nature of learning.

  How does our framework help design content? –  Microlearning –  Multimedia learning –  Mastery of learning –  Motivation for learning

PRIMR: Multimedia teacher’s guide •  Virtual coach •  Remote practice •  Audio / video guidelines to ensure fidelity “The teachers were really, really, really excited. Here are these bulky lesson plans on a small instrument, and not just that but also in terms of if I want to teach this word in word blending, for example, how do I blend it? Sometimes when you script it, it may seem obvious that someone will just read it and understand what they are to do. With the enhancement if the teacher gets to this point and the need to teach a specific word or sound, with the multimedia lesson plan they just need to touch the button and they get to hear the sound and they can differentiate if it is the sound they are hearing or the name of the letter. So that is also a great tool . the children can listen to this sound as it should be then they get to learn the correct sound. Such a great enhancement. A big plus for this project.”

  Audio/visual materials strategically placed throughout the teachers guide –  Letter sounds –  Images of new vocabulary –  Audio word-building grids –  Model teaching videos –  read-aloud stories

Listen, blend, learn. They are really finding it interesting in terms of getting confidence in what to tell the users They can actually see the letters in place of the flashcards, and in cases where they are not sure of the sounds they are organizing the learners in small groups and have them listen to the sounds. This is a very big addition.!

PRIMR: TangerineClass •  Classroom based assessment made easy •  Curriculum aligned •  Automatic analysis and guidance for teacher “What Tangerine:Class is bringing : the teacher can get instant results in terms of how the children are mastering the different skills and this helps the teacher monitor individual learners and also to know which learners are struggling and how to support them. The beauty of the results is that they explicitly explain the next steps. The teacher doesn’t have to struggle thinking what is the best action to take. Not only tells them more practice but tells them use the word lists or the sounds, which is really really detailed and specific so that the teacher has an action point and they know what they can do to remedy what the children are struggling with and this is very important It will go a long way in motivating the teachers because they are able to track how their children are progressing and they are able to use the feedback to see what actions they can take so the progress goes on as expected. It is a great invention.”

TangerineTM

Easier assessment, better data, faster results.

If you can have data so quickly and be able to access it so fast, that is really good. It takes so much time to analyze data and get it into consumable form—this is a great invention!
