Podcasting
A podcast is a web feed of audio or video files
placed on the Internet for anyone to
subscribe to.
 Podcasters' websites also may offer direct
download of their files, but the subscription
feed of automatically delivered new content is
what distinguishes a podcast from a simple
download or real-time streaming (see below).

mLearning
Definition
mLearning is the acquisition of any knowledge
and skill through using mobile technology,
anywhere, anytime, that results in an
alteration in behaviour.
(Geddes 2004)
mLearning and Education
Mobile learning means the provision of
education and training courses on wireless
devices: PDAs (Personal Digital Assistants),
palmtops and mobile telephones
Wired virtual learning environment of today
Wireless learning environment of to-morrow
An example of the trends applied
to an mLearning solution
Variety of m-Learning
possibilities…
audible texts and MP3s
 e-textbooks and encyclopedias
 other innovative formats such as
simulations, streaming video
 clinical data collection
 access to Learning Management Systems

m-Learning: PDAs
The handheld personal digital assistant
(PDA) is one m-Learning tool that is
increasing in use:
 Portable
 Versatile
 Relatively
low cost ($200)
 Provides on-demand access to education
resources
m-Learning: PDAS

Many colleges and universities (USA)
have incorporated PDAs into their
teaching, curriculum and student
resources…
 Text
messaging
 Pod-casting
 Data collection
Educational Applications of PDAs
students taking courses online
 “idle time” while commuting, during
lunch breaks, at the airport, deployed
and other situations without computer
access
 Assessment

Make optimal use of mLearning:
Portability (learning anytime/anywhere)
 Location (e.g real-time video of workplace)
 Wearability (expert in your pocket)
 Networked communication (coached
collaborative learning)
 Personalisation (photo, audio, SMS)
 Blended learning (+classroom, e-learning)

Examples
MLearning Consortium
 Journal on mLearning
 What is mLearning?
