courseoverviewAbout the Course

More people now access the Internet via mobile devices than with traditional computers. Mobile devices are being used for entertainment and personal communication, as well as for accessing information, collaborating, and learning. Mobile learning, or mLearning, encompasses more than just delivering online learning opportunities via mobile technologies. This course will explore the definition of mobile learning, as well as its evolving roles in filling gaps in meeting formal and informal learning needs. Participants will examine issues surrounding the integration of mobile technologies and mobile learning strategies in formal education systems. They will also explore relationships between learning theories and approaches to instructional design for mobile learning, as well as a variety of available applications, and future trends in mobile learning technologies.

Breakout Group Instructions:Watch the Video (can be opened directly from MindMup)Choose a group recorder and reporter (can be the same person)

As a group, use MindMup to:• Create a summary of the key points:

• How do the presenters define mobile devices?• How do the presenters define mobile learning?• What do they describe as the benefits of mobile learning?• How are these points different from your previous thoughts on mobile learning?

• How would you use the video, and the key points, to:• inform your own practice as an educator / instructional designer?• frame and plan a professional development session for teachers / trainers at your

institution?• Report your summaries to the class
