Expanding Mobilegogy Through An Analysis Of MOOCs & iTunes University
MOOCS: Is there an app for that?
Evaluates instructional design elements for mobile learning (mLearning) iTunes University (iTU) Massive Open Online Courses
(MOOC)
Expanding Mobilegogy Through An Analysis Of MOOCs & iTunes University
Expanding Mobilegogy Through An Analysis Of MOOCs & iTunes University
Why are MOOCs important?
Partnerships include prominent universities, educators & institutions
Cloud computing: technical and cost efficiencies
Background
BackgroundWill MOOCs make iTU obsolete?
This study Identified mLearning elements Described similarities/differences in
platforms Identifed effective tools offered by MOOCs
not found in iTU Evolution of the mobilegogy model
Background
Background: LTCS+D
Location, Technology, Culture, and Satisfaction (LTCS)
Overview of PlatformsiTU & MOOCs iTU
No uniform educational design standards for content Archives and distributes content Not always an all-inclusive course
MOOCs Each MOOC has uniform design elements Developed by instructional designers within each venture Designed to be an all-inclusive mLearning experience
iTunes University What is it? Manages, distributes & controls access to over
500,000 lectures, videos & books Content submitted by K-12 school districts & 1000+
universities in 26 countries
Educational Initiatives iBooks 2 provides students with interactive lessons iBooks Author: anyone can create textbooks App integrates course materials with iBooks, iCloud,
& other apps
Overview of Platforms
Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) MITx Udacity Coursera
Overview of Platforms
iTU Courses Location- High Rating
Provide transcripts or captioning Students go out of the classroom Multiple forms of content available for use in various locations
Course Findings: LTCSD
iTU Courses Technical- Low Rating
Data capture Cross device compatibility
Course Findings: LTCSD
iTU Courses Culture
Globalized English Aids to overcome language barriers
Course Findings: LTCSD
iTU Courses Satisfaction- High Rating
Learner attention Real world applications
Course Findings: LTCSD
iTU Courses Design-Highest Rating
Effective use of audio Effective use of visuals Effect use of font
Course Findings: LTCSD
iTU Courses Courses with iBooks received highest
ratings in: Location Satisfaction Design
Course Findings: LTCSD
Finding suggests that electronic
texts can enhance online
courses
All platforms Strengths Weaknesses
Platform Findings: LTCSD
Technology Notification /communication system Cross device compatibility
Some features only available via iOS devices
Platform Findings: LTCSD
Culture All platforms provide transcripts All MOOCs offer closed captioning Udactiy and Coursera offer foreign language translations Voice to text and voiceover built into iOS devices
Platform Findings: LTCSD
Satisfaction MOOCs provide feedback MOOCs create a sense of community
Platform Findings: LTCSD
Design No significant difference inratings between iTU and MOOCs
Platform Findings: LTCSD
“The iTU platform can support many of the elements
necessary… for mLearning, but the platform’s potential is not being exploited
by most course designers.”
So…Is there an app for that?
Can apps make a difference?
Examples of apps to assist course designers Simple quiz design Resource organization People search Whiteboard
So…Is there an app for that?
“With the development of a design toolkit…iTU can not only avoid becoming obsolete, but
also be a more innovative player in the mLearning arena.”
So…Is there an app for that?
