Barriers to implementing
Mobile learning is viewed as out of place in education and potentially disruptive
Currently a lack of education policies and support structures that acknowledge and embrace its potential
Costs of mobile devices are viewed as obstacles yet institutions are slow to implement BYOD policies
There is a lack of training and support for educators considering implementing mobile learning
Lack of high-quality education content and interactive solutions that are readily available for use

Characteristics of mobile learning
Fixed learning Static classroom Leave your community
Delayed Absent Teacher centred Not responsive to a need Controlled Regulated by someone else Uncomfortable Content consumption Stagnant / Rigid Boooooring Individualistic / independent / isolated Standardised No access to resources / closed / not Disconnected – offline Spoon feeding
Occasional reality Traditional / transmissive?

Situational Learning Anywhere Within your community instead of needing
When you need to stay put Immediate Availability Student Centred Responsive to a need Autonomous Self-regulated Comfortable Content creation – some form? Adaptive Fun Collaborative Personal Access to resources Connected Discovery?

Issues and barriers to mobile learning 3 groups
Issues and challenges Presumption students good at social media – can
be translated into a study desk environment – skills? --- Translate into the classroom and into learning.
Collaboration or collusion – sage on the stage not all teachers comfortable with becoming
facilitator and relinquishing control – use digital literacies of students to support other students
TIME & effort Not that easy to figure out – students are not
always plug and play – instructions & training –
Learning anywhere anytime depends on the type of knowledge you are trying to learn – what type of content appropriate for mobile
Not sufficient facilitation for students in discussions in online environments
Students don’t know until they are assessed – if they are interpreting it the right way?

Aw, Lennie. First you squash the mouse and now you’ve gone and squashed the girl. I’m gonna have to kill you.” “What about the rabbits? (135 characters)
Activity 3: Literature again …
Can’t replicate systems …
Making existing systems mobile means they will lose richness of features
Formatting for content on the move; is your content concise and easy to read?
But … Is being mobile about doing … or reading? Commenting Photographing Speaking Viewing Messaging
If you’re not in the office …
Considering video and audio delivery to boost interest …
What will people need on the move? It’s not about what you can keep, but what you can lose …
Just what I need and nothing else
