Mobile Learning in LMS

Paradiso LMS is revolutionizing elearning

with Mobile learning app

Mobile learning Focuses on learning across contexts and learning with mobile devices. The objective of M-learning is to provide the learner the ability to assimilate learning anywhere and at any time.

Mobile learning covers learning with portable technologies including but not limited to handheld computers,MP3 players, notebooks, mobile phones and tablets.

M-learning is convenient in that it is accessible from virtually anywhere. M-Learning, like other forms of E-learning, is also collaborative. Sharing is almost instantaneous among everyone using the same content, which leads to the reception of instant feedback and tips.

Our eLearning experts are ready to assist you with your mobile learning projects.

The value of mobile learning

Tutors who have used M-Learning programs and techniques have made the following value statements in favor of M-Learning.

• • It is important to bring new technology into the classroom.
  • Devices used are more lightweight than books and PCs.
  • Mobile learning can be used to diversify the types of learning activities students partake in (or a blended learning approach).
  • Mobile learning supports the learning process rather than being integral to it.
  • Mobile learning can be a useful add-on tool for students with special needs. However, for SMS and MMS this might be dependent on the students’ specific disabilities or difficulties involved.
  • Mobile learning can be used as a ‘hook’ to re-engage disaffected youth.

Benefits

• • Relatively inexpensive opportunities, as the cost of mobile devices are significantly less than PCs and laptops
  • Multimedia content delivery and creation options
  • Continuous and situated learning support
  • Decrease in training costs
  • Potentially a more rewarding learning experience

Future

Technologies currently being researched for mobile learning include:

• • Location aware learning
  • Point-and-shoot learning with camera phones and 2D codes
  • Near Field Communications (NFC) secure transactions
  • Sensors and accelerometers in mobile devices in behavioral based learning
  • Mobile content creation (including user generated content)
  • Games and simulation for learning on mobile devices
  • Context-aware ubiquitous learning
  • Augmented reality on mobile devices
  • Mobile performance support
