eLearning DevCon 07- mLearning Session Updates

eLearning DevCon 07- mLearning Session Updates

8:49 PM Add Comment
I've received a lot of emails asking for information on the two sessions I was scheduled to present at eLearning DevCon 07. Unfortunately, some situations have changed and I won't be attending DevCon. I will, however, post the information from these presentations here at mLearning-World.com. I am also working on creating a 'virtual' session through SecondLife. When I am able to source a meeting hall & time, I'll post the information for these sessions here.

For more information on eLearning DevCon 07, click here.


Information on the two sessions I was originally scheduled to present:

mLearning is Here-
In almost every mLearning conference & presentation, we've been told that mLearning is the 'next big thing'. From more powerful PDAs, the $100 laptop, the iPod, to SmartPhones, every speaker has always touted the upcoming mLearning revolution.

Generally, these speeches have included disclaimers about the roadblocks to this 'revolution'. Be it battery life, screen size, non standardized devices, or technology adoption, there was always something that prevented the revolution from happening now.

This course discusses how the mLearning revolution is already happening, only it has, like it's generation's (X) early adopters, rebelled against being labeled.

We will look at examples of how mLearning is going on all around us from toddlers to large corporations.

This course is designed to stop people from waiting for the mLearning revolution and instead, jump on board.




Start a mLearning Program Today-
Rapid and Cheap Create Rapid and Cheap Mobile Learning with tools such as text messaging, podcasting and rss feeds.

It is wrongly assumed that mobile learning is 'around the corner.' The fact is mobile learning is here and booming. This program will describe how to quickly create and deploy an mLearning strategy with tools your organization may already have.

In this course, we'll look at how to use text messaging in the classroom for interactive games, creating short podcasts that can be downloaded to different devices and use rss feeds to quickly disperse information to your employees.





iTunes' Big mLearning Leap

iTunes' Big mLearning Leap

With the newest release of the iTunes store, Apple has made a big mLearning leap.


This content which is available through the iTunes store itself has been provided by top US colleges and universities such as Stanford University, UC Berkeley, Duke University and MIT.

According to Eddy Cue, Apple�s vice president of iTunes, �iTunes U makes it easy for anyone to access amazing educational material from many of the country�s most respected colleges and universities. Education is a lifelong pursuit and we�re pleased to give everyone the ability to download lectures, speeches and other academic content for free.�

So if you�re planning on going to college or even university, then you must check out iTunes U via the iTunes Store. Here you will receive free and informative content that can be loaded onto any iPod with just one click, after which you can view it via your iPod anywhere, anytime.

�From its earliest days, Stanford has sought to serve the public by sharing the knowledge generated by our faculty and students,� said Stanford Provost John Etchemendy. �Our partnership with Apple and iTunes U provides a creative and innovative way to engage millions of people with our teaching, learning and research and share the experience of intellectual exploration and discovery that defines our university.�


Remember, you don't need an iPod or other MP3 player to use iTunes. Simply download iTunes from Apple.com and in the store, browse to iTunes U.

The improvements, however doesn't stop with iTunes U. Apple has also released the Learning Interchange, giving educators and students the opportunity to share courses and resources.

Kudos Apple!

I'm downloading several courses today and will report on the quality and overall experience. If you haven't purchased an iPod yet, see the links below for some iPods and accessories on sale.
