Assessment: Mobile Learning
Assessment: Mobile Learning
Hello This is Evonne
This week’s video blog is on mobile learning
and it was an enlightening subject for me. I realized that I had been exposed
to a mobile learning experience in an intensive class at Liberty University
during the summer of 2016. My instructor posted QR codes on the walls around
the classroom for us to use our phone to scan and capture the data.
Based on my personal theory of learning,
students who are willing to be responsible and not disrupt a class should be
allow to use different technologies. As for me, mobile learning would benefit
students who are serious about their academic performance and achievements. In my reading, mobile learning has
revolutionized the opportunities for developing social skills, student
engagement, and it’s interactive learning use one’s favorite device (Alvarez,
Alarcon & Nussbaum, 2011, p. 1963).
In my reading, I found a couple of
challenges that may affect mobile learning students and they are; learning
styles, context awareness, student’s nature of memory, cognitive resources, awareness,
and students’ knowing expectation (Terras and Ramsay, 2012, p. 821-826; Totorella
and Graf, 2015, p. 297).
Mobile learning assessments must consider
Cognitive Load Theory and how it may impact some students; however, formative
mobile learning assessment allows repeated questions, electronic feedback, and
immediate feedback (Chu, 2014, 334-336).
