  1. Cell Phones & m-learning

  2. Research: Phone • Analog Motorola DynaTAC 8000X Advanced Mobile Phone System mobile phone as of 1983 • The first commercially automated cellular network (the 1G generation) was launched in Japan by NTT in 1979 (Wikipedia, n.d., para. 8).

  3. Matching Innovation to Need (NationMaster.com, n.d.)

  4. Critical Mass: Cell Phone In a span of only 20 years, wireless services have reached almost 50 percent of the world’s population. There are now more than 3 billion mobile subscribers globally, a number expected to grow to 4.5 billion by 2012. (TrainingIndusty Inc. (2010)

  5. NEW MEDIA(um) Technology

  6. Need: Technology Uses for social networks 26%; tutoring other students 24%; playing an online game or simulation 18%; finding experts to help 13%; (Speak Up Report, 2009)

  7. Need: Technology Uses posting to a blog 12%; sending tweet about topic 10%; starting a wiki or blog 9%; creating video/podcast to share knowledge 8%; finding an online tutor 7% (Speak Up Report, 2009)

  8. Research: m-learning A number of institutions are utilizing cell phones in a variety of ways to enhance learning. Notable: International Society for Technology in Education | Home.

  9. Research: Digital Storytelling Others are using digital storytelling and have begun to explore the cell phone as a development media: http://www.storycenter.org/ http://electronicportfolios.org/digistory/ http://www.storymapping.org/ http://www.nwp.org/cs/public/print/resource/2392

  10. Strategies for Adoption Innovators: Teaching and Learning Center Associates Early Adopters: Introduction via Workshop Classroom trial Laggards: uncomfortable with new technology not necessarily uncomfortable with cell phones (Rogers, 2003)

  11. Strategies for Adoption Diffusion: decentralized through peers Among the faculty Opinion Leaders and Change Agents will provide feedback on their experiences. (Rogers, 2003)

  12. Critical Mass: m-learning Four strategies for achieving critical mass Invite Program Managers and Department Chairs They invite department members who are opinion leaders/change agents Stipends will be provided (Rogers, 2003)

  13. Critical Mass: m-learning • Attributes or Strategies to Appeal to Faculty • relative advantage • compatibility • complexity • observably • (Rogers, 2003)

  14. Why iPhones & Cell Phones? • 600 mobile operators and carriers in commercial production worldwide • Over 50 mobile operators have over 10 million subscribers each, • Over 150 mobile operators have at least one million subscribers by the end of 2008 (Wikipedia, n.d., para. 44)
