Mobile learning goals

• Access: anytime, anywhere - meeting students when/where

they are going to be more focused, and therefore more

productive

• Interactivity: fosters social presence and allows students to

scaffold - construct meaning

• Immediacy: no need to boot up, and often login is

unnecessary if you keycode your device

• Ease of Use: flow is achieved through simplicity - minimal

size of screen support only primary functionality, what you

need to “get the job done”

Mobile apps for foreign language T&L

• Evernote (productivity): collects artifacts in list form, can be

tagged, searched, archived, etc.

• Notability (annotation during lecture): handwriting, PDF

annotation, typing, recording, and organizing

• VoiceThread (collaborative storytelling): captures audio,

images, video, text by groups of users in a shared

environment

• Duolingo (adaptive learning): students answer a brief

diagnostic and are given intruction appropriate to their level,

plus rich and rapid feedback
