Paper Abstract:
|
Whilst there are relatively well-established guidelines for desktop-based learning systems, new forms of learning
activities with small handheld devices have yet to be firmly standardized. In light of this, there is a strong case for revisiting
some basic principles for mobile learning systems design, such as how to deliver learning content when a key
assumption is that this should be tailored to individual differences. Two approaches to mobile learning content design are
considered in this article, one using plain-text and the other using media-rich content such as visual animations and aural
narrative. An experiment is described which shows that some learners are sensitive in preference to the multimedia-based
mobile learning system and these results are interpreted by means of spatial working memory capability. Guidelines for
designing mobile learning content are suggested that might help to indicate the effectiveness of mobile learning systems
in relation to differences in individual spatial memory. |
