There is considerable interest in using mobile phone in teaching and learning. Why not. There are everywhere. They are great for just in time learning. They can be used for short sessions whenever it is convenient. Now minutes are “free” as phones are billed by the month or include so many minutes that reaching the limit takes some doing.

There are a number of blogs about mobile learning

Why Every E-Learning Program Needs M-Learning
“well-designed and incorporated mobile learning (m-learning) maximises effectiveness of delivery, enhances access, and accomodates multiple learning styles,” has been blogged by by Susan Smith Nash, Ph.D.

Kinaesthetic Learning: While listening and viewing, the student should not remain passive. To ask students, particularly those whose preferences are kinaesthetic, to be passive, is to invite disaster. Instead, ask the learner to engage in physical activities — taking notes, engaging in activities that involve touching screens or interacting with the device, or, to be involved in the world at large by doing a specific task.

Susan has some very good suggestions for including mobile learning. Production is important and Susan’s sums it up nicely.

Structure. Ideal m-learning is structured, organized, and is of limited duration. It takes a building block approach, but each is similar enough in overall design to encourage the learner to feel comfortable and to be able to participate in mastery learning. In essence, each segment should include an introduction, main themes, topics, perhaps a story that illustrates points, visual and auditory content and cues, a synopsis, and a call for action.
