http://www.alt.ac.uk/Ofsted_CIF_ConsultationALT's response to Ofsted Common Inspection Framework, Nov 2011
We think that the absence of any mention of
technology supported learning in relation to the quality of teaching, learning and assessment is a major omission that must be remedied, and we were very pleased to hear that this problem has
been recognised by Ofsted with a view to it being addressed. ...CIF must take explicit account of the fundamental and seismic changes that are
currently taking place in the way that knowledge is created, acquired and distributed.
What has changed? Something has happened…
In the UK 41% of the population own a smartphone: 50% in 2012 ?

Record lesson and upload it as podcast. Share link
Share your number - learners message Qs while reviewing lesson
Ask a Q - use phones to find the answer
Create short lists of points, eg dates, hints, short summaries, etc share via messaging
5 mins study using Google maps before quiz
Daily vocabulary: send flashcards with a new word and definition

Livescribe pen
Portability - the device is always with them. No need for computer interface
Audio can be used to support learners with • poor memory skills• poor notetaking skills• motor difficulties• learning difficulties
Also useful for A-level students who want to capture a lesson
Numeracy and data
opportunity to drill and practice in the privacy of a mobile device eg Nintendo
lack of confidence with numeracy can undermine progress in practical work such as fieldwork, lab work, practicals and placements. Well-designed spreadsheet activities running on a mobile device can bridge the gap between anxiety and confidence: especially beneficial for learners with dyscalculia
number-crunching complicates data collection and analysis: either the maths takes up time and overshadows the underlying concepts, or the analysis takes place long after the practical ends when the learners have forgotten. By supporting analysis on mobile devices, the maths can take place instantly, allowing the learners to focus on hypotheses and predictions.
images and video
benefits of learners using digital cameras and video on mobile devices include:
PortabilityHelp for learners with• poor memory skills.• poor note taking skills• poor written skills• learning difficulties
Opportunities to capture the learner's own practical skills
SMS
Many LPS use texting to send admin and other planning info. Also increasingly used for marketing
Use in lessons:More open than audience response systems (clickers) ie ABCor D
• summarise a given passage and text it to the text wall. Review answers • case study : text in opinions or solutions: discussion generated • summarise lesson: start following lesson by reviewing points
SMS
Issues
Issues
Some learners need simple tools – eg digital keyring
Small is not good for many learnersWhat is accessible to one may be inaccessible to another
Best assessment is made by the learner themselves
key barriers for learners with disabilities may include:• small screen size• small keys• complex navigation structures• font types, sizes and colours can be very limited
BUT don’t underestimate the creativity of disabled learners in accessing new experiences.
Many VI learners are still wedded to their mobile phones.
Issues: usability
Myth: Students with disabilities cannot use mobile devices for learning
Apple deviceshave some of the most consistent, rigorous accessibility features
if an app does not meet core accessibility guidelines, it is not approved for entry into the iOS store
Although this is less true of other app stores, the ability for learners to personalise their device, to have it constantly set up for their use, removes a barrier to learning.
https://mobilelearninginfokit.pbworks.com/w/page/43574938/Mobile%20learning%20myths
Issues: esafety
we are restricting social networking to known times/ places/ purposes - but
obviously students can easily circumvent this with mobile devices.
we dont want to impede learning or social interaction at appropriate times but we DO want to provide appropriate strategies and support to help them acquire skills for safe and effective e-usage to keep themselves safe not only now and in college but in the
future and think before they use!
