Mobile Learning Project

Mobile learning is the provision of education and

training on PDAs (Personal Digital Assistants).

smartphones and mobile phones, including

palmtops, handhelds, iPods and MP3 players.

Bloom’s Taxonomy identifies 5 levels of learning. This is traditionally shown in
a pyramid with the low level (superficial learning) at the base and the higher
levels (deep learning) at the top

Bloom's taxonomy of learning

Using m-learning the same sort of activity can be
developed at different levels. It is important to recognize
that learners working at low level qualifications are
often highly motivated by the higher level tasks such as
creating, rearranging or criticizing. The higher level tasks
implicitly require learners to engage with knowledge or
understanding and often act as an effective strategy to
create “learning by stealth” since they motivate learners
to explore the lower level knowledge required for the
task.


Associative
– Building concepts or competencies step by
step
Constructive (Individual)
– Achieving understanding through active
discovery
Constructive (Social)
– Achieving understanding through dialogue
and collaboration
Situative
– Developing practice in a particular
community

Constructivism (Individual)

Learn by exploring the world around them
– Receive feedback and draw conclusions

Learning can be applied to new contexts and
expressed in new ways
Key theorists include Piaget, Papert etc

Pedagogic approaches
– Experimental Learning
– Constructivist learning
– Problem/Research based learning

ƒ Teaching
– Interactive environments and appropriate
challenges
– Encourage experimentation and discovery of
principles
– Adapt teaching to existing concepts/skills
– Coach and model metacognitive skills
Learning
– Active integration of concepts
– ill-structured problems
– Opportunities for reflection
– Ownership of task


The real impact of the mobile device and its
learning content depends on the user that’s why
there are two types of user for mobile learning

The “considered” user

The “trigger” user


Semantic memory is our memory of meanings, understandings, and other
concept-based knowledge
In the case of considered learners, mobile learning is as a refresher of
things they learned in a more extended formal training event, including
face-to-face training , synchronous e-Learning, asynchronous e-Learning,
or even study of printed information. After a large chunk of training, your
head is filled with information. A mobile device is a smart way of
retrieving what you have learned, especially close to the time when you
need to apply it. Sharpening the key learning points can anchor mobile
learning content to help the user efficiently and accurately recall these
deep-level semantic memories.


Procedural memory is our memory of how to do things.

For trigger users the mobile device can act as a retriever for procedural
memory. Procedural memory is our long-term memory of skills,
procedures, and know-how. In the work environment, these are processes
and techniques that are needed to drive a business forward what to do,
what not to do, the expected attitudes and behaviors. Examples would be
running a creative meeting or induction of new employee, or a more
complex skill such as restructuring a team.
