Owning the Future

Owning the Future

Colleges will be aware of the technological and cultural implications, challenges and opportunities that the use of learner-owned devices can bring.

Share examples and exemplars:

how smartphones and mobile apps can enhance and enrich learning;

how messaging can be used to support learners and learning;

using learner owned devices for assessment;

supporting learners with tablets.

Changing the culture and providing the technological infrastructure to enable and promote the use of learner owned devices will benefit learners, enabling them to use their devices to support their learning.

From a strategic perspective the reality is that colleges do not need to just consider the technological implications of learner owned devices, but also the cultural impact on how learning is designed and delivered.

Mobile learning is not about mobile devices (though they are part of it) the best way to strategically think about mobile learning is think of the learner as the mobile element, learning at a time, place and pace to suit the learner. The use of learner owned devices is a key part of the future of learning.
