Appendix 4http://saulnier.typepad.com/learning_technology/2010/10/mobile-learning-in-highereducation.htmlMobile Learning in Higher EducationI recently attended a NERCOMP event on Mobile Learning in Higher Education. NERCOMP- the NorthEast Regional Computing Program -- is an EDUCAUSE affiliate. The "day ofdiscovery" was hosted by Kristin Lofblad Sullivan, Manager of Instructional Technology atHarvard University's Graduate School of Education.Session: mLearning 101The first session was presented by Jason Gorman, Instructional Designer, Harvard GraduateSchool of Education (HGSE), Gino Beniamino, Instructional Technologist, HGSE, and SusanEppling, Instructional Media Developer, HGSE.Mobile devices were defined as anything you can take outside the classroom and connectto the internet or a network via a broadband connection. Clearly there is a proliferation ofdiverse software platforms and devices that meet this criteria and that was noted as achallenge. But the opportunities for education are staggering given the statistics:Out of a total U.S. population of 308MM, there are 285MM cell phones.More people in india have access to cell phone than toilet.41% of the global population of 6.3 BB carry mobile phones.For real-time updates see the PhoneCount website."Nomophobia" is the fear of being out of mobile contact.Challenges to deployment include the need for skilled developers/vendors, faculty fluencyand interest, funding, platform decisions, the lack of common devices, student opinions oftools, the 'digital divide' and access to tools, unrealistic expectations ofstudents/faculty/administrators, technology support, changing opinions of assignmentdesign, and the overall ‘technology happens’ issues concerning technical problems whenusing devices and platforms of this nature. These were organized into three broadcategories: technical, teaching and learning, and institutional.Next we reviewed some sample projects, each showcasing a different type of device andapproach to mobile learning.ABILENE CHRISTIAN UNIVERSITYACU has embarked on a number of mobile initiatives, with some noteworthy projectsinvolving the iPhone and iPad.
