2012 Lilly Conference on College and University Teaching

Mobile devices such as cell phones, tablets, iPods, e-readers, and even laptop computers can increase comprehension and learning. This workshop will focus on the value of mobile learning both in and out of the classroom. This session will demonstrate and explore mobile learning strategies in the classroom to create backchannel conversations and to solicit live student responses, which can provide immediate feedback and formative assessment. Out of the classroom, the use of mobile devices can extend learning by using mobile tools, such as object tagging and social mobile games, for students to construct their own mobile content together with community partners within a service-learning experience.
