Hand tools for hand devices Making learning mobile
Context: CIII in Cabinet Making • Traditional approach to training • Barriers successful completion: • limited engagement: • with the employer • workplace-based learning • workplace-based assessment • Attendance lower priority due to off-site time required • Accessing online learning materials anywhere/anytime • Increased pressures on physical training space within the TAFE
Student Outputs: Mobility • Research: 72% trade students use smartphones • 99% have a mobile phone • Resources were designed and developed • Students were given iPads • Delivery strategy re-designed • Assessment tools developed • BYOD - Personal devices can be integrated • Aim: Improve our retention rates by meeting identified learning needs.
Considerations • Accessibility and useability • Interaction with LMS (Moodle) • Reduce photocopying and printing • Desirable : • Fast and reliable • Many people on site use them • Can be used online or off-line • Multimedia capture • iPads are cool
Issues • iPads don’t have file system • Flash not supported in iOS • Need to upskill users (teachers and students) • Limited or no experience developing ePUBs • Becoming aware (through trial and error) of the idiosyncrasies of using the iBook Author App • Ensuring file size is manageable
Background/Challenges • prior to this project • Researching different software apps to find which was appropriate to the project's needs • Being responsible for the look and feel of the publication as well as the development of the assets • , including the limitations of the inbuilt 'widgets' (interactivities), and where necessary, reworking the storyboard to allow for these restrictions • Ensuring file size was managable, yet bearing in mind image quality; particularly with regard to video compression
Solutions • Centre based iPad Planner • Worked in partnership to develop assessment tools • Developed eLearning and ePub • Developed activities in Java script • Used online assessments – quizzes, online assignments in Moodle, My Moodle app • Co-taught prototype during Stage 1
Useful Apps • Notability: $0.99 • Pages: $10.49 • iMovie: $5.49 • My Moodle: free • VidEditor: Free • iBooks: Free
My Moodle app • Images from camera roll can be uploaded in Private files area • Record video, sound, take photos in app • Insert these files into forums, wikis, online assignment, upload in assignment

Engagement • Intended outcomes for learners: • Increased • workplace training and assessment • employability skills • digital literacy and responsible digital citizenship • amount of training time in the workplace. • kinaesthetic and social learning that will engage the students • More rapid skill development and placement in employment
Future • Lessons learnt shared • Ipad Planner updated • Better Comms between service centres • ePub template for teachers to use • Improved workplace learning links • Assess did it assist retention • Embed this model through whole qualification • Roll-out to all apprentices 2013 • Gather student feedback
