The interim findings of a global mobile learning research report involving the use of the new Studywiz Mobile learning environment with iPod Touch’s are revealing that mobile learning has potential to re-engage learners by improving attendance and interest levels.
Report author Cecilie Murray from Delphian eLearning, is exploring the potential of mobile handheld devices to enhance learning in a global context in this bold, new, learner-centred research project. The views and ideas of students about how the visual interface of mobile technologies can increase engagement and enhance learning are being investigated and tested in a practical classroom environment, around the essential question, How can access to mobile device improve our students’ understanding of themselves in a global context?
The research sponsor, Etech Group, is keen to identify factors that promote improved learning and teaching when students interact via the Studywiz Mobile learning environment using a mobile handheld device, such as the iPod Touch.
