#EDENchat How effective is mobile learning?

Mobile communication has become increasingly popular for a number of reasons. The cost of smart phones is falling, and we enjoy increased functionality. The advent of social media has further advanced this evolution at a pace. Hence, mobile learning is now becoming a key part of educational strategy. And yet it is still largely an unknown strategy for many educators.

In the #EDENchat on 22nd April we focused on issues surrounding mobile learning. In #EDENchats we critically evaluate what we know so far and share our experiences globally and this chat was no exception. There were several key conversations, around usability, around technological or social trends, around the nature of ubiquity, and of course there was some useful discussion around the perennial question about pedagogy and the impact of technology on learning.

The archive of the discussion on Storify can be found at this link. The transcripts of previous #EDENchats can also be found on the main EDEN site as Storified archives.
