Colleges anduniversities are using M-Learning to help students perform tasksby providing information, guidance, and learning experiences when and where required.
Ø Puts training and performance support where theactual work takes place.
Ø Allows students new skills or knowledge to be immediately applied
Ø Enables student training when it is needed
Ø Allows use of rich media when appropriate
Ø Builds a community of practice
Ø Connecting and continuously sync training toback-end systems
Some of theexamples of colleges using Mobile learning to thrived in educational environments
ü HastingsCollege used ipods with construction students
ü LeedsCollege of Building used netbooks and mobile phones with construction learners
ü StHelens College used Sony PSP’s with electrical engineering students
ü WalsallCollege used Nintendo DS games handhelds with some disaffected and disengagedlearners where they reported: This programme has seen learners enjoyingeducation again and the number of exclusions is down by 65 per cent.
One of the better ways to find out the value of training infinancial terms is to measure the return on investment (ROI) of your trainingprograms. Mobile based training using iPad and other smart phones have provedto be very effective devices for future and have already made severalsignificant claims: Saves time without decaying learning benefits; minimizestravel costs; minimizes time away from work; cost effective; can meet the needsof a geographically disperse employees; provides consistent course delivery orresearch materials; offer more individualized instruction; and consistentlyhigher learning results can be achieved over traditional training.
Studies over the past few years show the following results: betterlearning curve as compared to traditional instruction; students had doubled highercontent retention for e-learning over traditional classroom instruction;students demonstrated greater gains in learning than did students who were taughtby traditional instruction.
While the most obvious impact of m-learning on ROI is thesignificant time and cost savings it can produce over traditional training,more significant impact on ROI can be achieved as a consequence of m-learning.Well constructed and develop m-learning tools is not only faster than classroomtraining but also more effective in general. Numerous studies have shown thatpeople learn faster with such trainings; student using iPad and similar smart phonescan have easy access to materials and can use the time to accurately recallwhat they learned over a longer period of time, and are better able to transferwhat they learned to actual performance.
