Top 50 Mobile Learning Resources

Abhijit Kadle | Mobile Learning | November 2, 2009 | 47 comments

Top 50 Mobile Learning Resources I’ve spent an inordinately long time writing a whitepaper on mobile learning trying to expound our thoughts about it and how it might be used in the workplace. I’ve been doing some research around it and I’ve documented some of the better links I’ve come across. Again, as with the links I posted about Games and Simulation, these aren’t categorized in any way nor does the order assume any significance.

If you’re considering mobile learning in any shape or form, I’d suggest you give these a browse. One of the travails of my paper writing (still continues) was that good web resources were quite hard to find, so be spared the ordeal, this is a good place to start.

In putting this list together, I used Tony Karrer’s eLearning Learning site extensively to match links that are also popular based on social signals. It gives more balance to what just might have been the results a one-sided trawling of the web. Hope you find something influential.

Agree on a terrific list though a few items that are more than 2 years old eem dated – in mobile business, yesterday’s news is just that. I hope to get to read your white paper once it is released and compare notes; I spent several months over the summer going through the same exercise and drafting our own WP; in the spirit of industry cooperation, I’m willing to share mine if you’re willing to do the same. You can find it at:

Thank you for compiling the list. I wish my district understood the importance of Mobile Learning. Instead, they forbid the use of cell phone use in school. Do you have any ideas about how a teacher can persuade her administration to make use of the future instead of trying to prevent it?

For information : Mobile-learning is active in France

WAPEDUC : Mobile learning

Developing a platform leading to school success through mobile phones.

Philippe STEGER
Teacher
Lycée Jules Guesde
34080 Montpellier
FRANCE

Abstract

Since more and more pupils have their own mobile/cell phones and are attracted by sophisticated low cost – 1 €-mobile/cell phones, new ways of getting learning and teaching resources can be offered to both pupils and teachers.
Mobile/cell phones tend to become Personal Assistants.

The chance for pupils to get complementary lessons, short documents about health and orientation, recorded messages and question papers anywhere and at anytime (on the bus, at home or in study rooms) lead to extended fields of research programs. Besides WAPEDUC allows pupils to learn or revise during their spare time (http://www.wapeduc.net/)

The number of families connected to the Internet is still low if compared to that of families possessing one or more mobile/cell phones.

The main interest of this system lies in the fact that it is opened to everyone and it is quite cheap.

The aim of this innovative teaching strategy is to allow any pupil to get information about the contents of his/her future lessons and to self-assess himself/herself at the end of each lesson by means of an interactive question paper. Furthermore a search engine and a “training” program and a page devoted to teenagers’ problems are available on the “mobile learning” platform.

Other projects such as short texts which pupils could read before attending class, the presentation of sketches and diagrams, mathematical reminders, recorded messages and videos used in language lessons, can be considered as efficient and well targeted tools which prove to be complementary to school lessons.

Pupils choose themselves the moment when they want to consult the platform. This autonomous behaviour is resourceful and can lead every pupil to use the platform at the end of each school week.

For the time being, the learning platform offers 5 main themes:

– Lessons and self-assessment question papers
– Advices concerning orientation for studies
– A page devoted to domestic phone numbers for Health and advices.
– A culture program

– Communication with teacher

The teacher and its pupils can communicate: the teacher upload resources from a computer and the child consults them on his cellular.

Best regards
P.Steger

Great list! Mine would be slightly different… Of course, I would neglect some and add others, however that’s a matter of personal feeling. 🙂

Thanks for compiling this information. Did you find a lot of papers pretty much saying the same?
I’ve been looking for development effort ratios and cost for producing a 5 minute mLearning learning app. I know how to scope a 30-minute eLearning but mobile stuff, I’m still learning.

Excellent life-time list–wow! It’s worth keeping track of podcasts–TED talks, for example. Also, iTunes U has an amazing assortment of very specific pieces by impressive people. Quite an adventure! Thanks!
