Why Lifelong Learning?  Adult learning is part of a much broader process  Self-directed  Important to retain the aspirations  A mechanism for exclusion and control  Access to knowledge  Individualization Lifelong Learning supported by Mobile Technologies 2 “I have never let my schooling interfere with my education.” – Mark Twain “Anyone who stops learning is old, whether at twenty or eighty. Anyone who keeps learning stays young. The greatest thing in life is to keep your mind young.” - Henry Ford

Overview  Lifelong Learning supported by Mobile Technologies  What is Lifelong Learning  Types of Lifelong Learning  Mobile Technology and m-Learning  Generic Framework for Lifelong Learning  Our Framework Design and discussion Lifelong Learning supported by Mobile Technologies 3

What is Lifelong Learning?  Continuous building of skills and knowledge acquisition  Formal and informal education, life experiences  Improve knowledge, skills and competence with a personal, civic, social employment-related perspective.  Characteristics  The process is continuous throughout one’s life  No specific age group  Entail programs that are pursued during a lifetime  Philosophical approach Lifelong Learning supported by Mobile Technologies 4

Models of Lifelong Learning  Formal Learning  School, university, military training  Learner has little control over the process  Non-formal Learning  Individual decides what to learn  How is decided by the organizer  Partial Control  Informal Learning  Learner decides how is to be learned  Self directed  Individual decide what and how of learning  Targeted mostly for adults Lifelong Learning supported by Mobile Technologies 5 Lifelong Learning Models [1]

Mobile Technology and Learning  Internet has evolved into a universal platform to communicate and share information  Massive development in cellular communication technologies  Location is not static  Support for mobility  Are these devices capable of incorporating a Learning environment?  m-Learning project from ECIST  Envisage the potential of mobile devices for learning  Targeted reluctant young adult learners with poor literacy or numeracy Lifelong Learning supported by Mobile Technologies 6

Different Learning Methodologies  Distance Learning, e-Learning and m-Learning  Distance Learning  learning when the source of information and the learners are separated by time and distance, or both  E-learning  electronically supported learning and teaching  Mobile Learning  Learner is not at a fixed, predetermined location  Learning opportunities offered by mobile technologies  Opportunity of learning is independent of time, location and the changes in learning environment  Fill the deficiencies of former Lifelong Learning supported by Mobile Technologies 7

Theory for Mobile Learning  Mobility – Learners on the move  Non-formal and Informal Learning  Learning that takes place outside classroom  Constructive to society  learner centered  knowledge centered  assessment centered  community centered  Technological ease  ubiquitous use of technology Lifelong Learning supported by Mobile Technologies 8

Support for Lifelong Learning in m-Learning  Accessibility  Learners can access material from any geo-location  Learning beyond classroom or special hours  Rich multimedia content  Video Lectures, audio slides etc.  Translation into numerous foreign languages  Interactivity  Face to face conversation between two learners  Real time communication  Social Platforms e.g. Facebook  Individuals of common interest  Collaboration and Teamwork  Collaborate without any boundaries  Share experiences and ideas Lifelong Learning supported by Mobile Technologies 9

Challenges for m-Learning  Portability – support mobility  Individuality  Support individual learning styles  Unobtrusive  Means to retrieve knowledge in all situations  Availability  Communication with peers, experts, teachers  Adaptability  Context adaptable to individual skills & situations  Persistent  Enable learning despite any change in technology  Useful - useful in everyday life routine  User-friendly - easy to use  Other – specific to mobile devices  Small screen sizes  Limitation in power Lifelong Learning supported by Mobile Technologies 10

Generic Framework for Lifelong Learning Lifelong Learning supported by Mobile Technologies 11 Mobile Learning design requirements for lifelong learning [3]

Theories of Learning  Learning through Collaboration  social interaction in a learning process  Individual task or joint problem solving  work with adaptive collaborative applications outside the classroom context  cognitive benefits of collaborative learning  Symmetric Knowledge and status shared goals  Learning through Critique and Assessment  Reproduce and reformulate the concepts  Human understanding improves by critiquing existing knowledge  User centered and supports user working on their own activities  Point out only when there is significant decrease in competence Lifelong Learning supported by Mobile Technologies 12

Learning Context  Lifelong Knowledge Acquisition  Pedagogical Paradigm  Usage of mobile devices has abolished classroom enclosure  Role of teacher  Paradox to the concept of Lifelong Learning in mobile scenario  Technology not available in teacher’s everyday activities  Technology to be used by the students later as an adult (or would-be teachers)  System for Mobile-Teaching is absent  Position Service for Lifelong learning  Process that assists learners in  Finding a starting point  An efficient route through the network that will foster competence building Lifelong Learning supported by Mobile Technologies 13

Learning Experience and Objectives  Not only do users look for a usable system  They also look for a pleasing and engaging experience  Organized content could enhance understanding  Also promote learning acquisition  Making sense of the learning material  Narrative framework  Engage the learners with goals and objectives  Feedback  Facilitating self-motivation and self-regulation.  Conflict, competition, challenge and opposition  Brings the fun element in learning Lifelong Learning supported by Mobile Technologies 14

Discussion  Mobile technologies are the most influencing developments  Can lifelong learning be supported by mobile technologies?  Mobile learning makes it complete  Mobility  A learner is able to learn anywhere anytime  No specific age of learning  Educational tools that can support individual centric content delivery  KEY – Take Control over one’s own decisions  Individuals assume responsibility for their own learning paradigm  Technology doesn’t scare away the learners  Collaboration, communication over mobile technologies  Objective  Improve individual and team skills Lifelong Learning supported by Mobile Technologies 15

Lifelong knowledge acquisition  Shift in the frame of reference  From the narrow framework of school based learning  Virtual Reality and Learning Environment  They capture within their domain most cultural expressions, in all their diversity  Easily accessible even for the the people with social exclusion  Drop-outs  Working in position different from their skill set  Responses can be applied to both  school based  informal learning Lifelong Learning supported by Mobile Technologies 21

Lifelong knowledge acquisition  Position Service for Lifelong learning ctd.  Accreditation or Recognition of Prior Learning (APL/RPL)  Identify prior learning experiences from formal as well as informal means  Relevant if a person changes his academic discipline  Allows the learners to provide claims for his prior learning  Experts evaluate and study the learner’s profiles  Time consuming and expensive  Methodology  Developing electronic portfolios  Learner’s competence can be mapped to the competences in the learning network  Recommender system for starting positions / exemptions  Not automated systems without human decisions  Dynamic positioning service Lifelong Learning supported by Mobile Technologies 22

Lifelong knowledge acquisition  No competence information available  The learner profile & learning network  Information about the learning activities and not the competences  Content of the target and source materials overlap significantly then the target activity is exempted  Metadata based competence information is available  Competence ontologies in both learner’s profile and the learning network Lifelong Learning supported by Mobile Technologies 23 Positioning Situation Matrix.
