Some background about my work and the presentation attached.

Design Models and Frameworks I have recently written a report for the STELLAR Network of Excellence which is a kind of Trend Scouting report on learning in context.
 * [[file:STELLAR_Deliverable17_designed_v4.pdf|Trend Scouting Report]] on Contextualisation of Learning

Functions of Mobile Learning some example applications below ->
 * in talks to educators and teachers I often distinguish different functions as
 * organizing
 * information aggregation, sharing
 * contextualised information filtering

Authoring
 * App store is the answer

OER content on mobiles
 * send results of questionnaire from ODS project on mobile accessible repositories

[|__Evernote__]  is an application for notes, texts, audio snippets and pictures. The app is available for all operating systems and mobile devices so that a flexible location-and-device-independent collection and exchange of information is possible. [|__Socrative__]  is a so called “clicker-app” or classroom response system. With Socrative different types of questions can be prepared (multiple choice, free text etc.) and users can access a poll from a mobile device with internet access via the URL [|__http://m.socrative.com__]  and a unique room number. The owner of the poll can show live statistics from the poll. With applications like [|__iTunesU__]  or different Podcasting applications it is possible to ensure access to learning content across locations and partly also across devices.

 * Socrative for mobile response and feedback collection
 * Mobile Content access with iTunes/Podcatcher

With mobile applications like [|__ARLearn__]  & SCNGR (Scavenger) field trips can be designed. Questions or specific challenges can be bound to a location that players need to solve. Learning designs that include dependencies between activities can be implemented.
 * Mobile Fieldtrips & Mobile Games

Mobile applications like [|__Ubersense__] <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"> are used to record movements of individuals to review and analyze them on the spot. These video analysis is done only with a mobile device. Before a lot of equipment and after-editing was needed to conduct detailed analysis of motion sequences. With these mobile apps a direct analysis on the spot is possible to enable the athlete to reflect on the results of the analysis and improve their movements.

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">With the mobile app <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #1155cc; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; vertical-align: baseline;">[|__Fulcrum__] <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"> it is possible to implement a bottom-up data collection of geospatial data. This data can for example lead to an increased awareness about specific aspects in the environment that would have been not visible before.

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">There are numerous apps for using mobile devices for language learning. Some apps focus purely on vocabulary learning, some apps add grammar and some apps like <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #1155cc; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; vertical-align: baseline;">[|__Wordlens__] <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"> even can be used for translating sentences in a different language (for example on a sign) to your own language.
 * Mobile Language Learning

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">There are several apps the one can use to send notifications in relations to events or performance data. Via this way users can become more aware about reaching a specific goal. Other apps like <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #1155cc; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; vertical-align: baseline;">[|__Triggers__] <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"> (iOS) or <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #1155cc; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; vertical-align: baseline;">[|__Tasker__] <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 15px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"> (Android) can use sensor data (like location for example) to trigger a specific set of actions.
