12. Future models and educational scenariosMobile learning in the 21st century: benefit for learners, Copyright © 2004 Geddes S.J.Future model 1. The travelling salespersonA salesperson boards a plane to travel across the country for a meeting with a large client.Just after takeoff the salesperson receives an email on their PDA1 detailing a competitors’just released product. The salesperson then alters the sales pitch to take into account thisnew information and prepares to answer questions on the topic. After landing thesalesperson stops at the hotel to freshen up and receives news broadcast on the television,inside the bathroom mirror, indicating an unfavourable change in economic, MITTechnology review has announced that Boeing is planning on making broadband wirelessInternet contentions available on flights. The sales person, then in the taxi on the way tomeet the client, conducts further research into this change and prepares to alleviate theclients’ concerns. This constitutes learning which is not only ‘just in time’, but is also ‘just inexistence’. Through reflection on this learning (metacognition) the learner can transferthese lessons to long term knowledge and associate them to relevant existing cognitivestructures.Future example 2. The traffic accidentA group of emergency services personnel are on route to a traffic accident. Their PDAsretrieve information on the traffic accident provided by the cars involved2. The PDA isaware of the location of the accident and starts uploading data on the accident and thelocation. All PDAs are aware of their users and start uploading relevant information inpreparation. A police officer is provided details on the best method of securing the accidentand detouring traffic based on the accident and the local environment. A fireman isprovided details on the types of vehicles and fuels being used, the location of the nearesthydrants and general vehicle accident information. The ambulance drivers on route arereceiving information on likely injuries, methods of treatments and the best route to thenearest hospital based on the local traffic conditions, including the police planned detour.Additionally, the two ambulance drivers include one who posses high levels of logicalintelligence, while the other posses high level visual intelligence (Gardner 1993), the devicesformat the information in accordance with their requirements.Future example 3. The broken lessonA busy executive awakes one morning and commences an eLearning lesson for work.Halfway through the lesson the executive stops and heads off to work. While on the train,the executive takes out his mobile device, which is aware of the last lesson beingconducted, provides a brief transcript of content covered, then continues with the lesson.Before the lesson can be finished the executive heads off the train and starts walking towork. At this point in time a formative assessment was about to commence, so theexecutive transfers to voice mode, listens to the questions and answers them orally. Afterthe assessment the lesson continues orally while the PDA records graphics that theexecutive has not been able to see. A particular subject interests the executive so he asks32
the PDA to source further information on the topic. The PDA comes back with a list ofpapers of which the executive selects one, the PDA converts the text to voice as theexecutive continues to walk to work.33
