M-learning for PDAs: Enhancing the Flexibility of Distance Education – Experiences with a Learning Environment for Mobile Distance Learners ”M-learning: The Cutting Edge” Ericsson Education, Dublin 22 November 2002 Torstein Rekkedal Director Research & Development NKI Distance Education Norway

M-learning for PDAs: Overview NKI Distance Education and Online Education Basic philosophies when developing system for m-learning Developing the environment for m-learning The two courses developed and trialled Experiences

NKI The NKI Group – a non-profit foundation in education: NKI Distance Education: Each year around 15,000 active students 100 programmes and 400 courses 60 programmes and 380 courses on the Internet The Norwegian School of Information Technology (NITH) The Business Training Centre (NA) NKI Publishing House NKI Distance Education

NKI and Online Education NKI Distance Education/NKI Internet College Online distance teaching since 1987 In continuous operation Integrated research/educational development/technological development ’ Mainstream ’ technology 4500 students in 34 countries 380 courses/60 study programmes

NKI basic philosophies concerning distance learning Student autonomy and flexibility

Flexibility in distance education Models of teaching and learning Distance Education: Individualised Flexible Teaching or Teaching in ’The Extended Classroom’

NKI basic philosophies concerning distance learning Student autonomy and flexibility Flexible and individual distance teaching with the student group as social and academic support for learning. Views of knowledge and learning The result of learning is a change in the student’s perceptions Learning is a qualitative change in understanding Learning is an active process Learning is a socially supported individual process

Designing the Environment for Mobile Learners Studying online and offline Technical solution: Technology: Content and communication: Pocket PC/PDA Learning content to be downloaded Mobile phone Online access to forums for reading/writing Portable keyboard communication with attachments

Students’ and tutor’s use of technology when mobile When mobile the students must be able to: Study the course materials Make notes Write assignments Access Forum to read Access Forum to submit contributions Send to fellow students Receive from fellow students Submit assignments by including attachments Receive assignments corrected and commented on by the tutor

The trials The courses: 1. The tutor in distance education (Norwegian version) 2. SPICE 603 Online Teaching and Learning

The trials Experimental conditions: First trial: Simulated learning situation Second trial: Real course with real students in real setting Evaluation methods and procedures: Field study Qualitative process evaluation Final ’quantitative’ questionnaire

Results The participant’s study situation Students and tutors working with the course at home, at the office and on travel Downloading and synchronizing learning content Technology: Broadband, LAN, modem, ISDN and mobile – few problems Reading and studying on the PDA: E-book version preferred before HTML Contribution to Forum via PDA and mobile phone: Direct access to Forum, preprepared message, fast connection Assignment for submission via mobile technology: Few problems, acceptable costs

Conclusions Mobile technology may increase the flexibility of distance teaching The technology functioned according to expectations Participants’ views varied – from enthusiastic to quite reserved Institutional challenges for systems development to cater for mobile and not mobile learners Technical problems exist, but are continuously reduced through software and hardware developments The students expressed very different views concerning reading from a small screen We need better solutions for browsing web pages Portable keyboard is necessary for efficient use of the PDA as a teaching and learning tool Mobile communication is still expensive – especially from abroad We are uncertain whether a future solution for mobile learning is solved by Mobile phone and pda Hybrid (pocket phone/computer) Laptop with mobile connection Other solutions (?)
