Researching How Networked Mobile Devices Enable Experiential Multimedia Learning
Today using networked mobiles everyone can be a global producer and distributor, not just a consumer, of text, image, audio, video and multimedia. The affordance of mobiles for producing no-to-low cost multimedia is enabling rapid change in the way we know the world and thus how we think, learn, create, represent and communicate knowledge. How can the affordances of mobiles enhance student engagement, participation and learning? Participants discuss why theories of experiential learning are important when designing effective mlearning strategies and why digital multimedia literacy is an emerging important issue in university education. Our focus is on Kolbs (1985) theory of experiential learning and ltins (1999) concept of experiential transactions between student and teacher. We discuss the Facilitators recent investigations of using mobiles to improve interactivity in learning spaces, vodcasting as a collaborative team assignment, and enhancing fieldwork tasks with multimedia data collection. We discuss how other experiential learning strategies can be enabled by mobile devices. Workshop participants discuss and identify their preferred experiential mlearning research direction/s and form potential international project teams.
