Mobile learning for Unions

 

What is m-learning?

 

Image: mobile deviceYou could say that Mobile learning is learning using a mobile device, or is it people learning when they're on the move? Maybe it's best to consider the learner as the mobile element; after all they are at the centre of their mobile learning experience whether they are at home, on a bus or using a mobile in a classroom.

The use of new technology has added flexibility and convenience to the process of learning. Most people now expect to be able to communicate 'anytime and anywhere', so why not learn that way too?

The excitement combined with the privacy of learning on a mobile device can help engage those who may have felt negative towards more conventional ways of learning.

Check out the BLOOM (Bitesize Learning Opportunities On Mobiles) project, to see how some organisations are using m-learning now.

 

 

How can m-learning help you?

 

Unionlearn is keen to help ULRs, learning organisations and union officers to make the most of this new technology. To this end there will be a series of one day seminars run in conjunction with GoSkills, Unite the Union and Tribal. These will be held in January 2010 to look at:

  • Using m-learning in your organisation
  • Mobile learning to engage reluctant learners
  • M-learning for Skills for Life*
  • Making mobile learning activities using an authoring tool
  • What do you need to get started?
