  1. Standards informing design of library service delivery to mobile devices and nomadic learners VALA2010 Conference Melbourne Convention Centre Sarah-Jane Saravani Learning Hub Manager Wintec sarah-jane.saravani@wintec.ac.nz

  2. Overview • Mobile learning • The nomadic learner • Standards on mobility and nomadicity • Barriers • Libraries and service delivery VALA2010 Melbourne 8-11 February 2010

  3. Mobile learning • Ubiquitous learning • Nomadicity • Handheld learning • Learning on the move • Location-generated learning VALA2010 Melbourne 8-11 February 2010

  4. Mobile learning “Any sort of learning that happens when the learner is not at a fixed, predetermined location, or learning that happens when the learner takes advantage of the learning opportunities offered by mobile technologies.” O’Malley et al., 2003. VALA2010 Melbourne 8-11 February 2010

  5. The nomadic learner Specific requirements: • Support system • Easy access to information • Convenient form • Anywhere, anytime VALA2010 Melbourne 8-11 February 2010

  6. Standards on mobility and nomadicity • Internet Engineering Task Force – Mobile IPv6 http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3935.txt • Cross Industry Working Team – Nomadicity in the NII http://www.xiwt.org/ • American National Standards Institute – IISP Nomadicity Standards Needs http://publicaa.ansi.org/sites/apdl/Documents/Standards%20Activities/Information%20Infrastructure%20Standards%20Panel/Nomadicity.doc VALA2010 Melbourne 8-11 February 2010

  7. Standards on mobility and nomadicity • Australian Flexible Learning Framework – M-learning standards http://e-standards.flexiblelearning.net.au/docs/m-standards-report-v1-0.pdf • World Wide Web Consortium – The Web on the move, OWL 2 Web Ontology Language • ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 36 – ISO/IEC NP TR 291240 - Nomadicity and mobile technologies, Parts 1 and 2 VALA2010 Melbourne 8-11 February 2010

  8. What does all this mean? • Very much a work in progress • Much research on nomadicity and mobile learning • Recommendations may conflict • New issues around m-learning constantly emerging VALA2010 Melbourne 8-11 February 2010

  9. Barriers • Lack of standards • Cost • Resistance from learners • Resistance from management • Technology/learner mismatch VALA2010 Melbourne 8-11 February 2010

  10. Libraries and service delivery • Understanding of user population • Staff training to develop competence • Technology infrastructure • Support from higher level • PLANNING VALA2010 Melbourne 8-11 February 2010

  11. What lies ahead? • How should libraries plan to allow their staff or students to learn on the move? • How should libraries implement successful support strategies for nomadic users? • What should learners expect from the convergence of learning and technology? • Where do the pitfalls lie and how do we avoid them?
