Mobile Learning

I like the idea of mobile learning. It is great when you can do something meaningful for school or just enhancing some personal skills.

I used to do some language learning the "mobile way". I put the audio files of a polish language course on my Mp3 player and listened to the sentences when I was on the go. Of course I won't learn a language (especially a language like polish) just by listening to it. But it is good as an additional opportunity, next to practising vocabulary and grammar.

My example of mobile learning is one of the most efficient ones, in my opinion. There are of course more and different approaches for mobile learning which might be good. For example I like mobile learning in combination with augmented reality. It must be great when a mobile device adds virtual information onto the real world. In my presentation about ML I showed an example of Google's Goggles, which can display information on the screen of a mobile phone with the help of coordinates and what the build-in camera sees.

Unfortunately the mobile learning area is very focused on technology and devices. Sometimes I think the "mobile" is considered as "mobile phone". Which is a big mistake I think.
