Basic list of uses of mobile in Education

books augmented book • Augmenting reality

Institutional service • Marketing• Recruitment• Induction orientation • Library service• Catering • Health• Social • Timetabling• Disaster recovery • Transition (Alumni)

Helpful tips

• Digital residents and digital visitorshttp://is.gd/kMnxGt David White Oxford University

• Learners are individuals and don't make assumptions (even better ask them ! )

• Learners aren't always your biggest challenge or you biggest threat

• Collaboration and shared approaches with local variation are good thing

So in short get on with it

Avoid the classic mistakes• Give students your chosen device (they will have 1,2,3

already)• All students will have access and use high end function

devices• Learners just want you to invade there existing digital

networks• The lie of the Digital Native • Build it and they will come• Choose on technology approach and stop looking at

others • Assume that adoption is incremental and assured • That you can control adoption and use of mobile• Beware of the unexpected positives and negatives
