Mobile learning: Not about delivering learning
During the talk, Dodge notes that mobile learning is less about the technology than about the experiences it can mediate. Devices don’t deliver learning; that’s constructed by the learner. Instead, mobile devices are conduits for stimulating curiosity and active learning. I’d add that because of the ubiquity of mobile devices in our lives, this means that learning can also be a ubiquitous, more conscious process. This means that mlearning “is about understanding and knowing how to utilise our everyday life-worlds as learning spaces” (Pachler, Bachmair & Cook, 2010, p6).
