9. What is mLearning? mLearning is any form of electronically delivered learning material with an emphasis on Internet-based technologies mLearning is aimed at developing learning content that integrates with mobile applications and provides learning and performance in a just-in-time, just-in-place dynamic. Introduction
10. In the past decade we have seen a surge in the capability, connectedness and cost-effectiveness of mobile devices and eLearning technologies. IMPORTANT: People do NOT want to pour over course materials while hunched over a very small screen. People DO want to get the right information at the right time, just about anywhere. Introduction
11. The success and impact of mLearning does not solely depend on the technological developments and the possibilities they provide. Your ability to design and develop good educational materials is key. Introduction
12. Traditionally teaching and learning focuses on the learners mastery of specific content. With the existence of such a significant amount of freely-available information on the internet, the task moves to effectively integrating existing information. The role of communication and integration now can play a critical role in the context of successful learning. mLearning: A new paradigm?
13. Modern learners have increasing demands on their time and are often forced to vary their study location and study “on the move” So they need to be able to take advantage of unexpected “free time” The ability to study while travelling on transport presents opportunities for mLearning mLearning: A new paradigm?

26. GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications) Originally a European standard for digital telephony, adopted in America, Asia, Australia and Africa. It provides voice mail, high-speed data, fax, SMS. WAP: Wireless Application Protocol A free, unlicensed protocol based on an XML standard. GPRS: General Packet Radio Service Protocol for high-speed internet, growing popular. Bluetooth Short-wave wireless radio technology. IEEE 802.11 Protocol for wireless local area networks IrDA: Infrared Data Association Infrared data transmission protocol for devices from 1 to 2 meters. mLearning Technologies

28. How does developing instructional materials for mLearning differ from traditional eLearning? Smaller screen size Time-sensitive pressures Small keyboards Limited Memory size Battery lifetime compatability mobile Instructional Design
29. How does developing instructional materials for mLearning differ from traditional eLearning? Modules need to be very short Easy navigation Consistency Standards Reusable mobile Instructional Design

31. If we consider the ADDIE model again Analysis Design Development Implementation Evaluation The “Analysis” stage takes on enormous significance in the case of mLearning Planning must consider the delivery of learning content to different devices for different uses, in different environments or contexts. mobile Instructional Design
32. Research by Gloria Gery in Performance Support which considers the needs of the individuals for information and instruction while at work. The ability to access work instructions, real-time information, and other features are key components in Performance Support. mobile Instructional Design
33. Research by David Jonassen in Constructivism looks at how the learner is provided with a good roadmap and is given the freedom to build their own path through the learning based on their needs. Unlike other eLearning scenarios which focus on an objectivist model, that states objectives, delivers information around those objectives, etc., with mLearning the context is critically important as is the level of experience with similar concepts. mobile Instructional Design
34. The Constructivism approach is well-suited for mLearning since it streamlines the overall learning process. Because the learner starts with an immediate need to locate, recall, or further learn something, this becomes the implied learning objective. mobile Instructional Design
35. Podcasting is concerned with using a device to listen to or watch an audio or video broadcast. Once copied onto a mobile device the learner can choose when and when to listen to or watch the podcasts. Producing podcasts has become must easier for educators. Students value the flexibility of podcasts. mLearning: Podcasting
