Why Online?
» Distributed Learning and the Road Ahead
• Increasing Accessibility
• Increasing Awareness
Why Online?» Today’s child is bewildered when he
enters the 19th century environment that still characterizes the educational establishment where information is scarce but ordered and structured by fragmented, classified patterns subjects, and schedules”
• (Marshall McLuhan, 1967).
M-Learning
• Milrad (2003) states that e-learning is
“learning supported by digital
‘electronic’ tools and media, whereas
mobile learning is e-learning using
mobile devices and wireless
transmission (in Hutchinson et al, 2008).
M-Learning
• This definition does not require the
learners to have any actual mobility,
however.
M-Learning
• learners could be using a mobile device
at fixed times, in fixed locations.
M-Learning Definitions
• “In terms of devices and technologies”
whereas others
• “define and conceptualise it in terms of
the mobility of learners and the mobility
of learning” (Traxler 2007)
M-Learning
• Knowledge construction, ‘sage on the
stage’ vs. ‘guide on the side’
M-Learning
• Effective, efficient
• No longer tethered to a time and place

• Understanding what your
heart is telling you and how
much work you are capable
of doing.
• Seeing improvement by
increasing work rate at the
same heart rate level.
Dropbox
• Documenting each
activity log with a
meaningful reflection of
what was applied from the
theory part of the course.

your activity logs into an online journal.

REALLY?
Technology for technology’s sake
Disconnection from here and now
Is it better than what we did before?
It can improve learning
If focus on why and how learning will improve
If it’s easy to use
If we aren’t trying to teach two courses in one
