M-Learning

“the New Generation thinking”


FROM
Chhail Bihari Agrawal
E.C.E.
What is “m- learning”

“M-learning is the intersection of mobile


computing and e-learning, that
includes anytime, anywhere resources,
strong search capabilities, rich
interaction, powerful support for
effective learning, and performance
base assessment.”
M-learning “origin”

 1970s and 1980s - Alan Kay and colleagues propose


a book-sized computer to run dynamic simulations
for learning.
 1990s - Universities in Europe and Asia develop and
evaluate mobile learning for students.
 2000s - The European Commission funds the major
multi-national MOBIlearn and M-Learning projects.
The potential for M-learning in
India
 India is a developing nation, that is
technologically far behind the developed world.
 This lack of technological development has a
detrimental effect on the education sector. As a
result, young people in the developing countries
face challenges, which make it difficult for the
next generation to catch up with developed
world.
 Wireless technologies such as mobile phones and
PDAs are the effective tools for learing.
Impact of mobile technology
Education through “m-learning”

 Technology has revolutionized business-now it


will revolutionize learning.
 Anywhere - Anytime – Anyone.
 Just-in-time access to information and knowledge.
 Higher retention of content through personalized
learning.
 Improved collaboration and interactivity between
students.
M-learning
“Educational prospective”
 The aim of the project is to see how mobile devices
can be used to teach basic numeracy and literacy
skills to young adults that have dropped out of the
education system.
 "It is not to replace normal education but to re-
engage those who have dropped out of learning
and help them find out that learning is fun and can
be a help in life rather than just something they are
forced to do," said Jill Attewell, a co-ordinator of the
m-learning project and manager at the UK's
Learning and Skills Development Agency.

Future of m-Learning
m-Learning may currently be most useful as a
supplement to ILT, online learning and more traditional
learning methods, but can do much to enrich the
learning experience.
As devices become integrated, and mobile phones
combine PDA functions with cameras, video and MP3
players, and as tablets combine the portability of PDAs
with the functionality of desktops, the world of learning
becomes more mobile, more flexible, and more exciting.
The success and impact of m-learning does not,
however, solely depend on the technological
developments and the possibilities they provide. The
ability of educators to design and develop didactical
sound m-learning opportunities and environments that
enhances learning is imperative.
