In last friday's session Paula Williams & Phil Lantry from OTEN presented to the team on mLearing in education. We had a great turn out with attendees from the numerous LearnScope teams across the institute and staff members from the BAIT Curriculum centre.
Paula and Phil delivered an engaging overview of web2.0 and the mobile network and how as educators we might use networked mobile devices to facilitate student centred learning.
It was a very hands on session with Paula getting us to participate in a simulated workplace assessment using a moblog to submit audio and images.
Phil demonstrated the concept of a personal area network (PAN) using bluetooh, a wireless protocol built into most mobile phones. Learners had to connect to Phil's laptop using bluetooth and submit a video of their colleuge tying a knot in a piece of rope.
Just goes to show, mLearning does not have to be expensive or use the telco's network to submit work for assessment.
Interesting to note that Microsoft is endeavoring to harness the power of social networking in it's upcoming Zune mp3 player. Users will be able to share full length sample tracks - your favorite songs, theirown recordings, playlists, or pictures with friends wirelessly - device to device.

Paula also did a fantastic gig up at BYS06 in Byron Bay recently as part of NSW Learnscope.
Ps. You may want to change the heading for this post to read mlearning.
