Just a short sum-up of my handwritings i made at the presentation:

the presentation was held by susanne, luise and samuel

You can find another evaluation of the presentation at progress and reflection from levke and Micro-learning and Mobile Learning from sly and a third one at Micro and Mobile Learning from juliane.

methods used for the presentation: podcasts, powerpoint, videclips, fotostory

Microlearning

1st microlearning podcast (in german, sorry):
– Lerneinheiten
– Microcontent-Formen blogs / social bookmarking
– referenzierbare und strukturierte Inhalte
– Mikroebene ist nicht zeitaufwändig
– die mediale Umgebung kann über den Tag verteilt verwendet werden

An example for microlearning: Learning about Barcelona with pictures / pieces of content with short texts

second podcast:
– Karteikarte / Frage -> multiple choice ?
– push Prinzip: „nicht aufdringlich“
– „wegdrücken“ des Lernflusses / auch Problematisch
– Zwischenräume zum Lernen nutzen

My critics on this: to get results, you need to invest time anyway, so do not think just because you have nice sounding methods learning is no work anymore

Mobile Learning

Example: sms coaches which send tasks to you

Different contents can be learned across locations and with the help of portable technologies

It is also a big business of companies

Does it make sense to use mobile devices in a classroom?

(never say „of course“ in a presentation“)

Definitions and / or content of learning-types

Formal learning -> strict, aiming for diploma, grade etc., institutions

Nonformal learning -> intended learning, but not formal (the opposite of formal learning)

Informal learning -> not intended, daily life learning

critics: Isn’t it also a type of advertisment for commercial products to use „new“ terms for things which are not new? If it is big business, suddenly everything is named with keywords which sound like innovation.

A question was: What type of learning is „microlearning“ / „mobilelearning“?

Answer: It is intentional learning, but as f.e. sms coaching is nonformal, a presentation like here in the seminar is a formal learning setting.

Some more examples for microlearning were named:
– vocabulary words
– short poems

The intention of microlearning is to be used as an addition, as a modern way f.e. in languages with using the understanding of memorization and in companies for communication seminars, to integrate content in daily life.

Time for concentration is said to be no more than 30 Minutes and for memorizing it is important to use items and intervalls / rhythms.

Where could you use it in your practice?

One comment was, if you have no interest, you will not learn, whatever is the method.

Another: Learning in small sequences is not new, just the way to integrate IT in learning issues.

The integration of learning in daily life sounds to be easy via these methods, f.e. via i-pod for free learning foreign language

Fun and learning together is good, f.e. on the way travelling to university and to be time efficient is good

but multitasking seems to overcrowd and to individualise people

it can be a pressure so that informal learning fall apart

there are learning types and it is good to offer different types of learning, so good to know about technics

mixing traditional with modern methods makes a lot of sense
