MINE - Mobile Learning in Higher Education

2018

Mobile technologies are an important part of our daily life and we carry them with us all the time. Mobile learning is already used a lot in informal and non-formal learning, but in the context of formal learning it is not much used, yet. In the area of formal learning at universities, there is a great need for pedagogic scenarios to encourage educatorsto use these new technologies. It is suggested that educators will need to move beyond the didactic approaches still frequently found in higher education. Social constructivist approaches have been advocated, along with the development of communities of practice to support educators. In addition, more emphasis on learners is required, to unde…

Learning Research Methods and Processes via Sharing Experience in a BLOG

2006

The goal is to increase knowledge about different research methods that have been employed in the information technology field by supporting the information exchange, collaboration, and cooperation between researchers. Well-designed, well-told stories can help others learn from past situations to respond more effectively in future situation. A blog is presented where PhD students and researchers are invited to collaborate by providing their stories, reading and commenting existing stories. This infrastructure allows researchers and PhD students to write the contents posing questions and finding answers on the relationship between research process and research results.

Sistemas de respuesta inmediata en el aula: una experiencia de evaluación formativa en educación física.

2017

Resumen: La necesidad de mejorar los procesos de evaluación es una prioridad para el profesorado y las instituciones educativas. Pese a ello, implementar la evaluación formativa y democrática de calidad en disciplinas como educación física, resulta difícil por las barreras existentes: la ratio alumnado-profesorado por curso y por clase, el escaso tiempo de acción didáctica o por la dificultad de obtener información sobre los tres dominios de aprendizaje disciplinares psicomotor, cognitivo y socio-afectivo (Díaz, 2015; Krause, O'Neil, & Dauenhauer 2017). Las TIC, especialmente el Mobile learning, ofrecen un inédito escenario de posibilidades para mejorar la evaluación del alumnado, del profe…

A Phenomenographic Research Study of Students’ Conceptions of Mobile Learning: An Example From Higher Education

2019

This article aims to identify different ways of using mobile devices in students’ learning in higher education. This qualitative research presents the findings from a phenomenographic research of students’ conceptions of mobile learning (m-learning) in higher education. A cohort of 16 students from four universities of Bangladesh took part in semi-structured interviews to explore their in-depth understandings and experiences of m-learning. The findings indicate that university students perceived five qualitatively different ways of using mobile devices in their learning: a medium for communication; a medium for management of learning materials; a tool for effective learning; a means for co…

HEART MOBILE LEARNING

2018

The widespread diffusion of mobile technologies in today’s society and the technological developments of recent years offers new opportunities for learning providing innovative techniques and tools in education. In this paper, we will introduce HeARt, an augmented reality mobile Learning system to support university medical students in their learning activities during an anatomy laboratory. Students usually use, in their daily anatomy laboratory, a physical human heart model to investigate and learn about heart anatomy. Even though these models are perfect education tools to observe details and touch "with hands" all the heart sections, they need a supplementary encyclopaedia to learn all h…

EDU-SOCIAL ALGORITHM: A METHODOLOGICAL MODEL FOR USING SMARTPHONES AND INSTAGRAM IN GENERATION ALPHA’S EDUCATION THROUGH A COMMUNITY OF VIRTUAL PRACT…

2023

The Edu-social Algorithm research project aims to construct a micro-pedagogical, experimental, digital research action to create a methodological model using the functions and algorithms found in social media used by Generation Alpha (specifically Instagram). The project is the manifestation of an explorative research path seeking to alter the algorithms that form the basis of all the major platforms in current cyberspace, and in “Big Tech”. This alteration is possible through the development of a community of virtual practice, consisting of students and faculty working within Instagram through an interactive approach, to take pedagogical advantage of their mobile phones and apps. The quali…

Edu-social Algorithm: educare con i social network a scuola. Un modello operativo per il Mobile Learning

2023

In questo lavoro si mostreranno i presupposti teorici e operativi per lo sviluppo di un Mobile Learning capace di coniugare didattica in presenza ed esperienze digitali, sfruttando Instagram come social media privilegiato per una proposta di un modello metodologico volto a strumentalizzare le funzioni multimediali e interattive interne all’applicazione. I risultati qualitativi del progetto di ricerca-azione Edu-social Algorithm mostrano una serie di contenuti mediaeducativi che evidenziano il potenziale pedagogico dentro il social media Instagram e la replicabilità del modello metodologico sviluppato.

LEARNING TOGETHER EVERYWHERE ANYTIME. MOBILE LEARNING IN HIGHER EDUCATION

2015

Today, the use of mobile learning in higher education can be widespread only if teachers and students are able to understand their possibilities and applications in the right way. The present research aims to analyse types of possessed mobile devices, competences in their use and successful applications in higher education courses. A specific questionnaire has been created and divided into four areas: 1) general personal information, 2) possessed and frequently used mobile devices, 3) awareness of the mobile device potential in distance learning, 4) their advantages in free and informal learning environments). The questionnaire, previously validated, was submitted on-line to a large group o…
