The web site Edudemic has been making its case for mobile learning for
the last couple of months. The site started by pointing to a survey which found
that 45% of students use their smartphones for learning, and then provided 10
real-world examples of schools putting the bring-your-own-technology idea to
work in their classrooms.
The Edudemic argument for mobile learning continued
with its four big reasons why instructors should give it a try.
First on the list is the accessibility of mobile
learning content. Not only is it easy for students, it’s also simple for teachers to update and
review the content they upload. The article even provides a link to an app that
allows teachers to make m-learning quizzes.
Edudemic says m-learning allows teachers to customize
content to fit the needs of their students while providing an easy and
time-saving way for instructors to follow a student’s progress online.
Finally, Edudemic views mobile learning as a way to
give students variety when it comes to content. Online presentations, videos,
discussions, and online exams are just a few of the options that are available,
which should keep things interesting and fun for both students and teachers.
