1) Interessante Studie:
A cultural approach to networked-based mobile educationAbstract
“This paper discusses cultural conditions for networked-based mobile education. In our paper, we demonstrate how an Integrated Meta-Model that we have been developing in our MOMENTS project, i.e. Models and Methods for Future Knowledge Construction: Interdisciplinary Implementations with Mobile Technologies, can be used as a heuristic tool for research and pedagogical practice with technology, drawing attention to such cultural and pedagogical aspects and relations which are easily left unnoticed. This Integrated Meta-Model consists of four levels: (i) cultural discourses and practices; (ii) pedagogical models and principles; (iii) action, and (iv) individual acts and activities. These four conceptual levels are complemented with three main components of the model, namely culture, interaction, and adaptability. To concretize our approach, we are presenting findings from four case studies conducted as a part of our MOMENTS project. Finally, we hope to undermine the technological deterministic thinking by reminding that there is a more fundamental cultural change taking place behind the rapid technological development and its pedagogical application.”
2) In Japan gibt´s eine Cyber University, die jetzt erste Kurse für Mobile Phones anbietet –> Powerpoint streaming.

3) Das Penstate College dürfte auch interessante Forschungsergebnisse haben.

4) Ein schönes Statement:
“As I sit here in Dubai I can not help but wonder why not a single school be it a KG-12 or University has taken on the idea of MOBILE ed as a possible way of taking education to the next frontier. Given the learning development of teens today why are we forcing them out of bed and into a class at 8am when we could push the time and then use the mobile to take them to a different place as they learn and go about their lives. (…) If the technology is with us, now, to make education fun, fast, involved, connected to the community, amazing, wow… why are we not going in that direction?” (James Piecowye auf seinem Blog)

5) Präsentation “Interactive Services on Mobile Devices for Higher Education” und hier ist eine Konferenz zum Thema + deren Veranstalter Educause - Transforming Education Through Information Technologies. Von denen gibt´s auch ein interessantes PDF.
6) 2008 kommt das Buch “ Moving Around: Mobile Technology, Society and Learning” heraus. Könnte man sich besorgen. Der Autor hat bereits 2005 schon ein Buch zum Thema geschrieben: Mobile Learning: A Handbook for Educators and Trainers (Open & Flexible Learning)

7) Und zuletzt noch eine Editing-Software für m-learning - Gefunden über Eduforge.org - Innovation for Education

Hier ein paar O-Töne, die mir in den letzten Wochen über den Weg liefen - über und gegen die aktuelle Strategie der Major-Labels… (und am Ende zur Aufheiterung ein Video, das mich heute Morgen beinahe umgebracht hätte. Also überlegt Euch, ob ihr Euch das antut!)

“The law may be on the RIAA’s side, but the market is against it.”

Techcrunch zum Urteil, das eine Frau für 24 Urheberrechtsverletzungen (illegal heruntergeladene Songs) zur Zahlung von insgesamt 222.000 Dollar (9.250 pro Song) an den amerikanischen Plattenindustrie-Verband verpflichtet.

“Clearly downloading music without permission is an illegal act. But unfortunately along the information super highway, P2P use has become the equivalent of speeding - a crime committed millions of times daily. Instead of suing Mom, the music industry must accept this fact and move forward with new models, providing new incentives for purchase and seeking new means to monetize music.”

Hypebot zum selben Thema.

“Solange es Menschen gibt, die die Möglichkeiten des Internetzes und die unter dem Überangebot verborgene Freiheit noch nicht erfasst haben, hat die Musikindustrie ein sicheres Auskommen. Dies ist allerdings ein Festhalten an einem absterbenden Ast.”

But I think once you start a war with your consumers you´re asking for trouble. Because this technology was made for these kids … and they´re smarter than we are (laughs). They really are. And they know how to use it. It´s the greatest rebellion weapon ever invented.”

Vielleicht habt Ihr diesen “Busdriver” schon gesehen, aber ich werd vielleicht jeden Morgen auf diese Weise beginnen…
