Mobile Learning

I’m writing a brief presentation on mobile learning – here, on my M-Learning WikiSpace.

It’s intended as an introduction to m-learning, and is entitled “Don’t Panic” - a reference to The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, to which I make reference with regards to m-learning (as, written in 1979, it envisaged many of the issues of mobile learning “hitchhikers” of today).

This post is more on the Mobile Learning Administration side of things, but may interest some educators: Excelsior Software have released Pinnacle PDA, a new gradebook product out for PPCs, and you can download a copy for free. The functionality looks pretty good, and Pinnacle also offer a range of “add on” tools for the gradebook tool that allow it to do other things too, like web display of student progress.

I don’t usually blog commercial mobile applications, but this one stands out from the usual offerings. Clicker is a neat application for most mobile platforms – PDAs, mobile phones and converged devices – that allow you to control many applications on your desktop PC using the wireless capabilities of your mobile device.

For example, the software allows you to wirelessly control a PowerPoint presentation using your cellphone or PDA, so you can free yourself from the lectern; or use your PC as a jukebox, with your mobile phone or PDA working as a “remote”. It supports iTunes and Windows Media Player out of the box, and is apparently extensible using JScript or VBScript.

As it works with both Bluetooth and Wireless LAN, it has the potential to be used on the widest range of mobile wireless devices.
