4. Everyone, is my presentation visible now?
5. Thanks
6. Doc Bell, shall we?

7. I AM JENELYN J. JENISAN
8. And my topic is all about Mobile Learning.
9. Okey
10. We live in blessed times when education became available for the vast majority of people.
We’re at arm’s length from immense information, which we may find hard to absorb and
digest, though.
A part from the information abundance, the fast pace of people’s lives leaves critically little room
for education.
This case is especially true for those who already left classrooms for the offices and strive to find
some time for further education and self-development.
Therefore, to make digital education accessible to as many people as possible, mobile learning
appeared.

1. READ INTRODUCTION IN THE SLIDE

So.. What is mobile learning?

Mobile learning from some open source, it is a remote education form when users can access learning
with mobile and handheld devices. Sometimes, you can see names like “eLearning” or “mLearning,” but
they both stand for the same concept - a person can instantly start learning just by opening their
smartphone or tablet. You may also understand “mobile” as “on the go,”.
With the advancement in technology education has gone beyond the four walls of formal
classrooms. The internet and programmers have made it possible for us to learn anything and
everything from the comfort of our home.

To discuss further with mobile learning, let’s go on with my subtopics which are:

 Mobile Learning Strategies

 Educational Apps and their Impact
 Mobile Device Management
 in Education

The main purpose of mobile learning is to persuade learners that studying can be engaging and
feasible. Thus, mobile learning investigates different ways to satisfy diverse learners’ needs.
To be more specific, we’ll now move to mobile learning strategies that perform well from entertaining
and educational perspectives.

1. Here are the different mobile learning strategies that I have gathered
during my research:

 Microlearning – which can be realized in different ways. What are

those, will know it in a short while.
next
 Scenario-based learning
 Social learning
 Personalization
 Gamification

All these strategies are designed to facilitate the learning

process by employing different approaches and
techniques. So let’s go one by one starting from the most
popular mLearning strategy.

NEXT SLIDE ( 7)

FIRST : Microlearning: a bite-sized education

As you can guess from the very name, the essence of this strategy is dividing the
new information into small chunks so as not to overwhelm learners. Usually,
microlearning lessons are ten-fifteen minutes long. However, there could be even
one-minute sessions uncovering a simple concept or giving a concise subject
definition.

Hermann Ebbinghaus’s forgetting curve underlies the microlearning theory.

Hermann Ebbinghaus forgetting curve

This curve explicitly tells us - you will forget 80% of what you’ve learned just in a month!
That’s how our brain works. So if we don’t turn fresh knowledge into practice, the newly
learned information will dissolve pretty quickly.
Microlearning aims to somehow deal with this issue. Small pieces of information are way
easier to perceive and recollect than huge knowledge massives. Also, multiple
repetition of learned materials helps preserve the information for longer.

Microlearning can be realized in different ways, each of which serves best for the
particular target audience.

MICROCOPY
All short and highly contextual messages that help users learn belong to microcopy.
These are error notifications, explanations, hints, and tips you can often see within a
digital product.
For example, in the message below, Google Drive teaches me how to share links.

One of the options for sharing Google Drive materials

MICROLEARNING VIDEOS
These can be either standalone educational videos or parts of the long learning
process. Typically, each video conveys one main thought a learner should take away.
The examples are:

 micro-lectures
 whiteboard animations
 explainer and interactive videos
TED Talks can be a great example of micro-lectures often pursuing both educational
and entertainment purposes.

The lectures have a limited 18-minutes length and one specific topic for each talk.

MICROLEARNING MOBILE APPS

Microlearning mobile apps designed specifically for smartphones are firmly integrated
into people’s lives. Whereas the young generation takes quite a fair part of
microlearning users, business workers keep up with mobile learning.
Here are two examples of microlearning mobile apps beneficial for both students and
professionals.
Your Primer app offers five-minute courses in various disciplines such as marketing,
SEO, analytics, business management, content creation, branding, and so on. With
bite-sized lessons, it’s feasible to learn every day and gradually grow your new
competencies.
Another great example of a microlearning application is the Word of the Day. This
easy-to-use mobile product assists students and workers in enhancing their English
language proficiency day by day.

Games and challenges

We’ll touch upon games more in detail a bit further when talking about gamification.
As of now, I’d just like to mention that games and challenges also belong to the
microlearning strategy pursuing the goal to inject a dose of fun into the learning
process. Challenges evoke a competitive spirit and stimulate learners to strive for small,
still significant achievements.
You can try implementing in your LMS:

 Flashcards and polls

 Thematic quizzes
 Open and close questions

Infographics
Maybe you didn’t know (truth be told, me neither before researching materials for this
article), infographics are a kind of microlearning we face almost every day.
Neuroscientists say that we can help our brain understand complex notions by
representing them with simple images. The graphical depiction of concepts engages
our brain’s parts responsible for visual information perception and enables quicker
knowledge assimilation.

The educational infographics example

To serve microlearning, you can utilize:

 Comparison infographics
 Timeline infographics
 Geographic infographics
 Statistical, informational, hierarchical, and more infographics types are available
to ease eLearning
Social media
Surprisingly, social media can also be attributed to microlearning. Without even
noticing this, we keep learning from the content we consume. Especially if this is
the content from professional social media like LinkedIn, Reddit, or even Twitter
(not so often, but still!). It can also be a good exercise to use social media for
micro-blogging and communication skills improvement.
Whereas microlearning is probably the most widely used mobile learning
strategy, other equally effective approaches are used in mLearning.

Scenario-based learning: learn from real-life situations

Scenario-based learning is a sort of education when users learn from simulations
of real-life situations. This eLearning approach works best if it’s crucial to check
whether learners comprehend the material and, what is way more important,
whether they can apply the received knowledge in real situations.
The main benefits of scenario-based learning are:

 Suitable for formal and informal training

 Allows learners to explore more learning situations
 Encourages users to improve their mistakes through constructive feedback

Social learning
The root of social learning goes to social learning theory stating that people can learn
from looking at others and imitating them. Simply put, the observation helps build new
behavioral patterns even without turning them into practice. However, reinforced by
practical exercises, the social learning results may be significantly higher.
The examples of social learning include:

 Tutorship or mentoring - the essence of this learning type is in continuous

interaction between a learner and a more knowledgeable person
 Webinars - this learning format became particularly widespread during the
COVID-19 pandemic when online learning boomed
 Workshops and masterminds - being surrounded by participants with different
experiences, learning is happening through intense communication and
knowledge sharing

Personalized learning
Instant feedback and gamified interactive learning are at the core of personalization.
Instant feedback is usually realized through scoring, custom-tailored tips,
notifications, and pieces of advice. From one side, consistent feedback navigates
learners to what they should pay more attention to. But what is more important, the
properly designed feedback encourages users to proceed with their learning even
though they may have some failures and disappointments on their learning path.
From a product design process perspective, the UX copy is fully responsible for creating
engaging and supportive feedback messages that would urge people to continue
learning.

Gamified interactive learning is a mix of micro-learning and gamification.

Interactive learning feeds users with small nuggets of information flavored with
exercises in the form of games.
As an example of gamified interactive learning, I would name the Elevate app.
This application is designed to boost brain work and enhance a user’s writing, speaking,
reading, memory, and math abilities. Daily exercises take into account my previous
achievements and adjust following tasks to smoothly increase the difficulty level.
What I really love about the Elevate app is its explanations and tips. Even though math
is the weakest discipline for me, I keep struggling (sometimes, even successfully!) with
fractions and equations thanks to the supportive feedback.

And finally, we got to gamification, one of the most working mobile learning strategies.

Gamification
We’ve already touched upon gamification, talking about games and challenges in
terms of microlearning. And now, let’s make clear why gamification is so widely
employed and what benefits it brings to mobile learning.

 Gamification drives learners engagement

Our brain loves fun and everything it can get with the minimum effort.
Incorporating games in learning masks the seriousness of the process and
reduces the fear of dealing with new things.

 Gamification creates a competitive spirit

Reasonable competition is a powerful booster. Scoring, rewards, badges - all
these leadership attributes spur learners to compete for higher positions and,
again, increase learning engagement.

 Gamification ensures a high users’ retention rate

If learners aren’t overloaded with complex information, the learning process is
easy and fun, the feedback is consistent, and the progress is visible, chances are
high they will stay for longer with this educational product.
One of the brightest examples of successful gamification strategy realization
is Duolingo.
Duolingo developed game-like tasks to assist users in learning new information.
This approach encourages learners to keep up with their studies and motivates
them to reach their language goals.

Duolingo creates a personalized gamified experience for each app’s user

Summary: Educational learning apps are designed to be engaging and enjoyable for
students. Knowledge augmentation, tailored learning experiences, improved
engagement, access to online study material, ease of communication, and, most
significantly, remote access are all advantages of a learning app.
Some Benefits Of Educational Learning Apps
In the wake of the global pandemic, the education sector has seen a massive
expansion of technology. With technology on its side, the entire industry is discovering
new ways of doing things. It's not that technology has not been used in education
before, but the use of educational applications has been limited.

Using technology used to be a choice, but now it's a requirement. This has led to the
adoption of educational software development via mobile applications, allowing
companies, particularly in the education sector, to reach new heights. During
compulsory distance learning, it was evident that there was a huge demand for
technical tools and systems that allowed professors to communicate with their
students, track their learning progress, and distribute their courses.

What Is The Definition Of Mobile Learning?

In the past, students could only get an education in an actual classroom, but mobile
learning allowed students to access classrooms via devices such as smartphones,
tablets, and laptops. Students can access the learning process at any time and from
anywhere by downloading assignments and uploading completed homework. Mobile
learning is beginning to sweep the world, and education is growing at a rapid pace.
While there are many advantages to mobile learning, there are also some
disadvantages.

What Are The Advantages Of Learning With Mobile Apps?

There are so many advantages of learning from the best learning apps for kids:

1. New Educational Technologies

New learning curricula emerged as a result of the introduction of applications in the
education sector. In mobile applications, there are fun activities that engage children
in a healthy mental process and help them see things from a different perspective.

2. Miscellaneous Purposes
Mobile applications can be used for a variety of additional tasks related to students,
such as online school fee payments and payments for other purposes. It eliminates the
need to stand in line and pay school fees. In addition, attendance management apps
keep track of pupils' attendance so teachers can keep a close eye on it. It makes
tracking student attendance simple for both teachers and parents.

3. Learning Is Possible Anytime And Anywhere

Students who participate in learning can access the materials long after they leave the
school grounds. Educators can interact with their students online, offer tests, and
provide other resources for them to watch in their spare time, such as educational
movies. Students are more involved in the learning process when they are asked to
perform independently and on their terms.

Creating information for students to access later is also an excellent alternative to

wasting time on the internet. Using additional resources within the learning boundaries
helps students stay focused on their learning goals outside of the classroom and, in
many cases, improves their performance when they return to the actual classroom.

4. The Easiest Way To Teach

The tutorial embraces a simple educational solution that produces the best results.
Teachers no longer have to worry about their students' attention spans because
educational apps provide an attractive and visual User Interface that allows students
to interact with their devices. In addition, learners can download the entire unit onto
their mobile phones, ensuring timely completion of the syllabus.

5. Monitor Your Children's Progress

You can keep track of your kids' progress with many apps, which is something every
parent wants to know. You can see how each program helps your children improve
their skills in reading, math, and more, over time.

6. There Are No Children Only Apps

A common misconception is that apps only help the young. The use of educational
applications benefits both teachers and parents. Teachers can use the apps in the
classroom. There are apps that help teachers create lesson plans. Teachers and
parents have more time to discuss lesson plans using app-based learning, which leads
to more participatory sessions. Parents and teachers can make a huge difference
when it comes to choosing apps for kids.

7. Online Study Resources

Students' lives are made easier and less stressful thanks to online tutorials and eBooks.
Learners can now access a wide range of books with a single click thanks to advances
in technology. If kids have an educational app on their phone, that means they can
access all the books available on it, and it fits conveniently in their pockets. On the
other hand, learners do not need to buy books or study materials because they can
simply get them all online.

8. Study With eBooks And Online

These days, students are growing more interested in online learning. This is where library
and book search apps come in handy. These tools make it easy for students to find the
right course materials in the mobile application. It brings them closer to the study
materials and helps them organize their study materials online.

9. The Communication Gap Between Students And The Institution Is Narrowed

It could be argued that traditional procedures do not allow institutes to give all students
the same attention. However, it is now possible to do so. School communication apps
allow information to be disseminated to all students. They can inform the students of
new schedules, forums, conferences, and school social events.

10. They can help children with special needs

Educational apps can also be extremely beneficial for children with special
needs, such as those with learning disabilities or attention deficit disorders
(ADD/ADHD).

For example, some apps are specifically designed to help children with
dyslexia learn to read. Others offer visual and auditory cues to help children
with ADD/ADHD concentrate on tasks and stay focused.

Overall, the rise of educational applications for kids has been an important
development in modern education. With so many benefits, it’s no wonder
that more and more parents and guardians are choosing to use these apps
at home or in the classroom.
