Paper Abstract:
|
Mobile Learning is an important pedagogy to enhance the learning of students especially when they are having outdoor
learning activities. From 2001, a 3-phase mobile learning project was started in a secondary school in Hong Kong. In the
1st phase, a novel mobile learning model making use of PDA and outdoor portable wireless LAN had been developed and
being operated in the daily educational activities. Also, it makes the students familiar to the mobile computer devices and
mobile technology, hence we proceeded to the phase 2 to start the mobile programming training for students. Then
students are encouraged to apply their innovation to create their own inventions and products. Thus, students are shifted
from an user of mobile applications to become a Creator of mobile applications. In the 3rd phase, 2 more innovative
mobile learning pedagogies, Offline Mobile Learning and Multimedia Guiding, are proposed. A number of learning
packages were developed. Also, a computerized client-server system, called Offline Mobile Learning System, had been
developed. Besides, a large-scale promotion of Mobile Programming Training to schools in Hong Kong is being
undertaken. This paper is aimed to introduce this 3-phase project, and to share the experience of conducting such project. |
