Learning goes mobile
30 OCTOBER 2012
Charles Sturt University (CSU) in Orange will host a public lecture on Friday 2 November examining the biggest change in the delivery of education since the advent of the personal computer. CSU Associate Professor Philip Uys, Director of Strategic Learning and Teaching Innovation at the University's Division of Learning and Teaching Services, will deliver the lecture and said ‘mobile learning’ technology was poised to revolutionise education. CSU has been engaged in mobile learning since it began to offer podcasts in 2008, allowing students to download recordings of lectures they could listen to on their mobile devices at their own convenience. Since then the University has added mobile interfaces to an ‘e-portfolio’ system that students can use to build an online portfolio of their work, and to a ‘CSU Replay’ facility which offers audio and video recordings of lectures and other material available for download through Apple’s ‘iTunes U’. The current focus is on developing educational material that can be shared across a number of mobile devices and consumed by students in short bursts throughout the day. Read more on CSU News here.
