Chapter 9 - “Experiences and Tools of Mobile Learning” aims to support you in answering the question:
Which tools support me in what and how I need to teach?
There are a variety of (mobile) tools that support designing a learning scenario that is beneficial to learners as well as users. The following questions are examples of what aspects you, as an educator, could reflect on/take into account. At the bottom of this chapter, you will find a toolbox that can be handy in different settings!
- Reflect on how (mobile) tools can differ, e.g., from beginner to advanced. What is perceived to be supportive?
- Which (virtual / venue) space is needed to be organised? Will you install a learning management system, and if yes, what platform?
- How will you design learning spaces/apply technologies? You might aim to provide, e.g., collaborative online tools or technologies like virtual reality enable your learners to explore, self-learn, and exchange among themselves. How far shall you as an educator (not) be involved?
- What technical support could be needed from the institution? How is data protection addressed?
The following toolbox guides you through existing approaches to designing mobile learning:
