Tuesday, February 19, 2019 | 2:15PM–3:00PM PT | Pacific Promenade - Poster03
Session Type: Poster Session
Delivery Format: Poster Session
Research conducted through interviews with faculty and teaching assistants provides insight into creative mobile learning practices from four University of California campuses. We will present findings for instructional designers and faculty seeking ways to implement mobile learning strategies to increase the impact of their teaching. Given near ubiquitous mobile device ownership among students at UC campuses, an increasing number of instructors use mobile devices to support student learning. Attendees will learn from innovative uses of mobile learning across the UC, including pedagogical strategies, affordances, successes, and challenges, as well as discuss mobile learning experiences at their own universities.

Outcomes: Discuss affordances, successes, challenges, and nuances of mobile learning that emerged from interviews with faculty and teaching assistants at 4 universities * Review a variety of mobile learning technologies and methods presented in use cases * Consider the breadth of student and faculty experiences with mobile learning and impacts on pedagogical choices
