Food for the Mind and Body: The Moveable Feast of M-Learning

5:30 p.m. - 6:30 p.m. GS03

Bryan Alexander, Director for Research, National Institute for Technology and Liberal Education (NITLE)

NLII Key Theme - Mobile Learning

The combination of wireless technology with mobile computing has begun to enable changes in social interaction, with escalating transformations in the educational world. As students increasingly arrive at colleges with life experience of wireless information access and personal coordination, geolocated digital information, social software, and enhanced multimedia capture and composition, new forms of education and scholarship emerge. Higher education's academic and social institutions therefore confront yet another tide of disruptive technology.

NLII Program Review

Joel L. Hartman, Vice Provost, Information Technologies and Resources, University of Central Florida

Turning the Lecture on Its Head: The Teach-to-Learn Concept, Communities of Practice, and the Future of Learning

Tuesday, January 27, 2004
8:15 a.m. - 9:15 a.m. GS05

Van Weigel, Professor of Ethics and Economic Development, Eastern University

NLII Key Theme - New Learners/New Roles

This presentation explores the significance of the teach-to-learn concept as a next-generation pedagogical model for cultivating communities of practice and the potential of P2P networks to extend the collaborative range of existing course management systems. Within this new framework, the lecture, as a mainstay of traditional education, sheds its primary function as a vehicle for transmitting information and becomes an invitation for critical inquiry, serving as a pedagogical centerpiece for the mastery of focused knowledge domains by students and a focal point for skill development in rubric-based assessment. The presentation will demonstrate some learning tools—developed within a Groove environment—that can be used to implement the teach-to-learn model and will discuss the implications of this approach for breaking the e-learning time barrier and the future of learning.
