Notes de l'éditeur
- Welcome Attendees Introductions – Robin Yap and Phil Speed
- Robin: This is the learning curriculum as we know it. Discuss each bucket The opportunity for Mobile learning exists in all but the face-to-face environment http://www.cognitivedesignsolutions.com/ELearning/BlendedLearning.htm
- Robin: Mobile learning, defined Reference: Wang, R., Wiesemes, R., & Gibbons, C. (2012) Developing digital fluency through ubiquitous mobile devices: Findings from a small-scale study. Computers & Education, 58 (1), 570-578. http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.compedu.2011.04.013
- Robin: At TELUS, we have three opportunities for incorporate mobile learning technologies: Traditional format of learning – we can use mobile learning as a method of sustaining the learning between face-to-face classes and before application of the learning Blended Learning format where mobile learning features can be incorporated throughout the various learning activities up to the application of learning Communications where mobile technology can be incorporated before implementation of what is being communicated
- Robin: One of the many examples mobile learning can be incorporated into an existing learning program.

- Phil: Mobile Survey Platform The mobile survey platform is being developed to resolve a situation of low response to the new hire surveys by TELUS retail team members. Retail team members had difficulty in responding to the survey as the desktop computers within the retail environments were often behind restrictive firewalls which prevented access to the surveys. The mobile survey solution provides the following advantages: Potential for greater response from retail team members: remove the barriers preventing access Ease of access for team members: complete the survey when convenient without being restricted to computer access Uptake: Has increased by 300% since the survey was implemented. Technical Specs: Developed using HTML with a SQL database Survey is accessible on both desktops and mobile devices Both surveys are developed in ENG and FRE Also developed a lite report generator back-end (administrated by KLS) to report completion status
- Robin: Technicians Application: The Technicians Application was developed to provide installation technicians with an additional set of tools to improve service time and satisfaction while reducing TELUS support requirements. Currently, when technicians encounter a problem with an installation a support call will be made to assist in resolving the issue. The goal of the application is to reduce the number of Tier One and Tier Two support calls required and thereby reduce the service call time. One stop access to training materials: provide all training materials for loop bonding in a single location. Ease of access: make it easy for the technician to call up existing training materials and videos while on an installation site. Improved accuracy of information: Use barcode scanner within the application to call up accurate support information quickly with decreased chance of error. Reduce call/visit length: With easy access to installation information, issues should be resolved more quickly. Technical Specs: Developed using a combination of PhoneGap, HMTL and SQL Specifically developed for BB Bold and Curve The camera phone allows the app to link product bar codes (that have been tagged in the app) to associated content Displays text with images as well as videos and PDFs
- Robin Mobile Learning Platform: The Mobile Learning Platform was developed a mobile app for Android and iPhone for an audience of 15,000 retail employees. The goal is to push out relevant, time sensitive content content to channel store employees. One stop access to Ease of access Improved Technical Specs: Developed as a cross platform solution using a combination of PhoneGap, AngularJS, HTML, Java and Oracle The content is pulled from the TELUS PCMS using a web service Includes custom feedback back feature Phase 1 displays text-based content, videos and PDFs For the pilot the login authentication is handled by the server KLS built and is hosting in our offices however once the app is rolled out to everyone in 2014 it will connect to the TELUS environment
- Robin:Develop your own mobile learning strategies. Currently these are the considerations learning partners need to take into account when mobile learning is included in their programs
- Robin:http://www.networkworld.com/news/tech/2013/080513-mobile-strategy-272519.html Research: investigation into how mobile is used in the company, industry and user population Requirements: scenarios describing how mobile technology will integrate into the company and user base; how users will leverage mobile Governance: who owns the mobile strategy and enforces company standards and processes Technology: definition, documentation, implementation and testing of IT methodology, processes and deliverables Data: storage and maintenance of back-end information Security: protection against data loss, data corruption, security breaches, network downtime and lost or stolen devices Device: supporting and protecting mobile assets as tools for the organization to help accomplish business goals User experience: designing intuitive and compelling mobile experiences that are in line with users’ perceptions and needs Compliance: conforming to legal and regulatory policy
- Robin:http://www.astd.org/Publications/Magazines/TD/TD-Archive/2013/08/Growth-in-Mobile-Learning New ASTD/i4cp report reveals mobile learning trends and strategies. These days, we all have connections, thanks to the billions of smartphones, tablets, and other mobile devices that take Internet access just about anywhere a signal can go. With mobile-cellular subscriptions nearly totaling the world's population, employers have unprecedented opportunities to connect with their workforces wherever employees may be. That technology has become a driving force, changing organizational learning and challenging learning professionals to reshape both content and delivery for a mobile world. According to Going Mobile: Creating Practices That Transform Learning, a recent ASTD/Institute for Corporate Productivity (i4cp) study, 31 percent of organizations offer learning via mobile devices, a 3 percent increase from last year. Although many companies furnish at least some employees with smartphones or other devices, significant interest is emerging in BYOD—bring your own device to the workplace. In 2012, 43 percent of responding organizations supported BYOD; that figure leapt to 65 percent in 2013. Going Mobile is the third collaborative look at mobile learning by ASTD and i4cp, and features interviews with practitioners and survey responses from 287 business and learning leaders representing organizations across varied industries, organizational sizes, and geographic structures. Most learning professionals choose to develop mobile content internally, seeking input from those with relevant know-how—colleagues in IT (45 percent)—and those who will be recipients of mobile learning content: business leaders, managers, and employees across all organizational levels. That build-it versus buy-it approach correlates strongly with both learning effectiveness and organizational market performance. What mobile learning content looks like is a core consideration for learning designers, about half of whom said they repurpose existing content for mobile delivery, and with the greatest portion devoted to just-in-time learning and on-the-job support. Mobile learning is evolving, but barriers impede its progress. Lack of money (55 percent), security concerns (46 percent), and technology issues (37 percent) are the chief culprits. BYOD adds adaptability challenges (31 percent) to the mix, too. Still, learning professionals are optimistic that mobile technologies will improve their function. To realize that potential, the report explains, they are developing comprehensive mobile learning strategies, resolving technical challenges, and increasing security measures.
- Phil:First personal mass media Permanently carried medium Only always-on mass medium Only mass medium with a built-in payment mechanism Only mass medium available at the point of creative inspiration Only mass medium with accurate audience measurement Only mass medium that captures the social context of media consumption
- Robin and Phil: Location based learning: GPS-enabled devices facilitate applications and interactions that incorporate the learner’s location. Learners can be location tracked in relation to other learners, thus facilitating interaction. Awareness of location enables delivery of geographically relevant information and just-in-time learning. Augmented reality: AR is a technology that merges visual perception of real-world environments and objects with virtual, computer generated content. This happens by overlaying a camera-mediated viewpoint with virtual objects and displaying the result via smartphone displays. TinCan API: Learning is happening everywhere. Collect the experience that matters.
- Robin to set up activity: These are the questions we have generated through our experience successfully implementing a mobile strategy and designing and delivering many successful mobile projects at TELUS. What are some of the challenges and considerations that need to be considered when selling mobile learning? How does mobile learning fit into our existing curriculum? What infrastructure, decisions, need to be examined for mobile learning requirements? How can we address adoption challenges? At what speed are we ready to launch a mobile learning initiative? What kinds of financial impact will it have on our organization? How can we capitalize on mobile learning to leverage the learning we already have invested in our organization?
