what is m-learning?
Mobile learning, also known as m-learning, is an educational system. Mobile learning supports, with the help of mobile devices, a continuous access to the learning process. This can be on appliances like your phone, laptop or tablet. With the advent of mobile learning, educational systems are changing. Now you know the meaning of M-learning, let's take a look at mobile learning in education.
Advantages
- It’s possible to lay in bed and watch a lecture whenever you want.
- Videos and audios are things you can add with mobile learning. Videos make it possible to make learning more lively!
- While the one student might be in New York and the other one is in Amsterdam, it’s still possible to work together.
Disadvantages
- Mobile devices can be a great distraction for participants. Children like learning on tablets, but gaming on tablets seems to be even more fun! As a teacher you are not always able to control what your pupils are doing on their tablets.
- Not enough electricity for all mobile devices. This may be a problem in the first couple of years. In the future, there will probably be a solution for this problem.
Mobile learning is certainly possible with our learning management system. You can motivate your pupils to learn things from their mobile devices. Ask questions and make your pupils answer them by a quiz during a lecture. It makes your lecture more sparkly!
