Mobile Learning

Since 1996 I have been following mobile devices and their use in learning. In addition to consulting and working on mobile learning projects, I maintain mLearnopedia.com. Recently I have been experimenting with mobile development tools and reviewing mobile content. I have put together a mobile home page for use on my cell phone and would appreciate any feedback or additional sources. See the presentations page for information about recent and upcoming presentations.

I have followed and have been impressed with Ambient Insight and was recently pleased to join their Advisory Board. I have also begun to work with Dr. David Metcalf on some mobile projects at UCF. (See below)

I also became a MASIE Learning Fellow focusing on mobile learning with the MASIE Consortium Members and at Learning 2007.

ADL

Having taken some time off to get reorganized after retirement, I am settling into several projects in which I am interested. The first is with the ADL Initiative involving the user community. We will be refocusing anew on the adlCommunity.net "Supporting the Global Advancement of Distributed Learning." Please visit the community and participate in the discussions, contribute to the wiki or otherwise participate in the activities.

Institute for Simulation and Training, University of Central Florida

Last summer I joined the staff at IST at UCF as a researcher mainly in mobile learning and am working with Dr. David Metcalf and his team on several exciting mobile initiatives.

In the Works

Other discussions are in the works, but are not yet ready to post. I have joined three boards (the Army's Distance Learning Training Technology Subcommittee, the Cristina Global Partner Network, and the CIGNA Healthcare External Thought Leadership Council) and am being selective about other initiatives, but can tell you that they will involve emerging technology, standards and mobile learning.
