Business Drivers behind Mobile Learning Dr. András Gábor
Mobile Learning • Technology (platforms) • Smartphone • PDA • Notebook • Methodology • Infrastructure • Domain • Economic rationale • Contact hours • Credit mLearning Conference,
Convergence of Technologies • WiFI • WiMAX • UMTS mLearning Conference,
Why Mobile Learning? • Scope: Higher Education, regular teaching environment • Blended learning • F2F education • e-Learning • syncrhonous • asynchronous • Organisational approach • matrix organisation • program management • organisational containers mLearning Conference,
Assumptions • Normative financing • number of active students • normative cost per capita per type of education • 60 credits / students/ year • Courses • Number and composition of instructors • wage • % working time devoted to teaching • Number of desired contact hours • Credit associated with the course • Infrastructure cost • OH mLearning Conference,
Balance equation Balance requirement: [cost of credit] = [revenue on credit] [cost of credit] = [instructors] * [wage] / [working hours] * [contact hours] [revenue on credit] = [students] * [normative reimbursement] / [total credit/year/student] mLearning Conference,
Balance equation Balance requirement: [cost of credit] =[revenue on credit] [cost of credit] =[instructors]*[wage]/[working hours]*[contact hours] [revenue on credit] = [students]*[normative reimbursement]/[total credit/year/student] mLearning Conference,
Balance equation Remark: Seminars means uses more resources mLearning Conference,
Balance equation Remark: Less student means loss, more student makes profit mLearning Conference,
Balance equationResource based financing Remark: Wages are the same, the available working time is smaller mLearning Conference,
Balance equationmLearning means making profit? Remark: The difference comes from e(m)-Learning. Also infrastructure cost can be saved mLearning Conference,
Balance equationStrategic options Remark: Cross financing mLearning Conference,
Balance equationStrategic options P/L per organisational container (department, unit, institute, group, etc.) mLearning Conference,
