  1. Building systems for mobile learning knowledge and resource sharing Jill Attewell, Technology for Learning, LSN

  2. What is mobile learning? Exploitation of ubiquitous handheld (or very portable) hardware and wirelessand mobile networks to facilitate, support, enhance and extend the reach of teaching and learning

  3. What is MoLeNET? A deliberate attempt to move mobile learning from R&D into mainstream teaching and learning Significant investment by UK government and participating colleges/schools - £16m+ over 3 years Supported shared cost projects not just money for equipment and get on with it Aims to: improve teaching, learning, learner outcomes; assess effectiveness of m-learning; build m-learning & m-learning research expertise capacity; share knowledge and resources

  4. MoLeNET numbers • MoLeNET phases 1 and 2 (2007-2009) • 62 projects, 115 colleges and schools • over 21,000 Learners • Phase 3 (2009/10) • Approx 10,000 learners • 23 macro projects and 20 micro projects • 8 mobile learning Academies – centres of mobile learning staff development excellence & helping to support micro projects

  5. Support • An expert mentor allocated to each project to provide advice, guidance and training • Face-to-face & on-line seminars & meetings • Research training and support for practitioner researcher working within each project • Virtual Learning Environment (Moodle) inc training materials, recordings of on-line events, forums for expert and peer-to-peer discussion and advice

  6. & Systems • MoLeSHARE • MoLeTV • MoLeDEV (in development)

  7. MoLeSHARE • Documents, reports, presentations • Case studies • Lesson plans • Technical/reference information/publications • Images • Video and audio files (via MoLeTV link) • Web links • Resources – collections of the above with a specific curriculum focus

  8. MoLeTV • Like You Tube without advertising and “inappropriate” videos – 2 of the reasons why most schools and colleges block You Tube • User categorisation and tagging, rating and comments + Automatic conversion of uploaded videos into several mobile friendly formats which can be downloaded

  9. Getting teacher participation • Must be very quick and easy to use • Don’t like to comment and rate – polite? busy? lazy? lack of confidence? • 3rd party tagging will assist identification of relevance • Is pre-requisite for sharing feeling part of community? which community? • Teachers like to save time rather than reinvent but also want to personalise resources

  10. MoLeDEV • Easy to use authoring tool • Create mobile learning materials for use via a variety of mobile technologies • Assemble shared elements into a personalised resource • Elements of developed materials automatically saved separately to facilitate future sharing and reuse
