This paper reviews three ‘mobile learning’ projects to understand the nature of and
extent to which learning is enhanced and facilitated by the inclusion of mobile technologies
in the different teaching/learning activities that were carried out. Reviews will
be taken from a number of projects; Mobile Learning in Informal Science Settings (MELISSA),Mobile
Clinical Learning and Out There in Here (OTIH) projects. Melissa was a European project
dealing with a range of learning systems. The Mobile Clinical Learning project investigated
the potential of learning resources provided in Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs)
and the ways in which clinical learning within two comparative health care institutions
can be supported by using small handheld computers. OTIH is seeking to support collaborative
remote experimentation where learners work together in different contexts. Within
these projects a range of mobile devices (e.g. smartphones, laptops, ipads) were used
to allow a broader understanding of a changing mobile device landscape. The research
literature suggests that learning opportunities are more likely to arise in environments
where interaction is facilitated. By reviewing these projects we are able to identify
elements that are facilitated by mobile technologies and explore ways that learning
is supported. |
