Course

Mobile Learning Bootcamp [Code: 1DMLBC]

 

One of the great advantages of e-learning often quoted is how quick and easy it is to amend and update resources. This is true, but only if you can actually amend the resources for your pupils. You'll know how each of your students has their own unique needs. How often have you found a great piece of software but wanted to tweak the text or an image slightly, and then you've been frustrated at not being able to do so?

 

This course will support you in delivering quality mobile learning interventions for your pupils by putting you, the teacher (or assistant), firmly in charge of the resource creation (and amendment as needed).

 

During the course you learn how to create high quality interactive worksheets which will work equally well on Android, iPhone and iPad devices. As part of the course you will also be given a set of dozens of templates to aid in creating your own mobile learning resources for your pupils. The interactive resources you are shown how to create will also work equally well on desktop and laptop computers.

 

What the attendee will be able to do at the end of the course:

  • Create for themselves quality interactive worksheets compatible with Android and iOS smartphones and tablets (and that will work on desktop and laptop computers)

 

How the course benefits an attendee's school:

  • By empowering staff to create their own resources for use with mobile devices it reduces the need to purchase expensive third party curriculum software (often with annual renewal fees); it also future-proofs a school against possible future curricula changes - if mobile learning resources are created in-school by staff, they are more easily and rapidly amended
