Week 2 - Online Lecture: Mobile Culture
THE CHANGING NETWORK
•about the internet (created in 1969), only had four connections
•the connections were in Utah, Sri, C38 and UCLA
•today, there are millions or billions of connections in todays internet that span the world
•a little under half of the worlds population have access to the internet ~2.9billion
•more people are coming online by using mobile devices
•33.4% of internet traffic in 2015 came from mobile devices
•GRAPH- Mobile is the primary driver brining people together-Fixed Vs Mobile Subscriptions, globally.
Fixed~800million broadband subscriptions, Mobile~4,400million broadband subscriptions
•Asia an Africa have the most mobile traffic by a region, this is because it is cheaper for those in
developing countries to connect to the internet through mobile devices
• increasing usage of mobile devices of the world in both the developed and undeveloped world
•Australia ranks in at 26% of global usage, the average is 33%
CHANGING HARDWARE
•change in design and function of mobile devices for example the mobile phone
•emergence of the smart phone
•2013 sales of smart phones surpassed the sales of feature phones
•smart phones will become more used but in reality there will be more pope using feature phone devices
(at least for a very long period of time to come)
•smartwatch, in time they will be able to connect to the internet
•apple smart watch (apple watch) it is smaller, mobile and wearable (these are major trends mobile
technology)
•hardware could merge into the human body (password tattoo, and password pill)
•robots are independently mobile (e.g. language teaching robots)
•Robot Assisted Language Learning (RALL)
•augmented reality glasses (google glass), connected to other smart devices in time it will directly to
internet
•google glass is no longer available to public, only commercial
•digital ecosystem: the co-existence of multiple mobile devices
•more dominated by mobile devices, the power of mobile devices comes from heir ability to connect with
stationary devices
•people will use up to five screens (computers, smartphones, tablets, smart tvs, wearables)
•1 in 5 of millennial only use mobile devices to access the internet
•“mobile-only internet users, are in fact, in a relatively disadvantaged position- compared with other users,
they are more typically unemployed and their household income is lower…mobile internet use must be
complemented with fixed use…” Sakari Taipale (2016)
CHANGING SOFTWARE
•rise in province of social media
•social media term risen in 2007 it used to be called web 2.0
•“mobile web” massive shift to the internet by mobile devices

a positive light as it can offer a new way to connect and interact with others, and on a new platform. The
advertisement features happy and uplifting music (piano) which serves to reinforce this message. The
advertisement also features many friendship groups and families suggesting that this new emergence in
social media will bring people closer together.
Week 3: Online Lecture: Mobile Education
CHANGING EDUCATIONAL APPROACHES
•Epistemological continuum (range of opinions in the range of learning and knowledge)
•Left hand side of continuum: traditional view of knowledge, is such a thing as objective knowledge,
need to discover objective knowledge, the role of the teacher is to collect knowledge and transmit it into
the heads of students,
•Information transmission model of learning, might test the students to see if they absorbed the
information.
• Behaviourism is the repetitive model of learning.
•Right hand side of continuum: believe that there is no such thing as objective knowledge, all
knowledge is constructed in the minds of human beings, education cannot involve the teacher learning
knowledge and transmitting it, teacher becomes a facilitator, helps students find their own knowledge by
providing input, setting tasks etc. The teacher needs to make sure their formation of knowledge is
functional: working together helps to do this. Emphasis on collaboration and discussion
•Social Constructivism:
INFORMATION TRANSMISSION
•view of learning: transferring information from one person to another, the teacher (the knower) and the
learner.
•doesn't acknowledge prior learnings from beliefs, experiences etc
•over simplifies notion of knowledge: knowledge is a fixed thing to be passed from one person to the other
by direct transmission
•a lecture is an example of information transmission
•this model of learning is becoming inadequate
BEHAVIORISM
•proposes that people learn through conditioning : classical conditions and operant conditioning.
•classical conditioning: screaming when you see a rat e.g. (scared of rats because someone else is),
training to respond to a thing to fear it, people learn by making associations
•operant conditioning: the process by which behaviour is moulded, mainly by reward to train them. Using
positive reinforcement, or extrinsic motivation.
•games- playing til you get it right
SOCIAL CONSTRUCTIVISM
•theory of learning that does not see the learner as an empty vessel, or as someone who responds
predictably to stimuli
•the learner is someone wiht prior knowledge, and experiences, as a basis for building new understanding
•all knowledge is socially constructed, the relationship between teacher and learner is different, they
construct knowledge together with support rather than just telling them

•focuses on the learner ad the knowledge that he/she actively constructs by working on authentic
problems, usually collaboratively. Learning involves constructing ones now knowledge from ones own
experiences
•hands on
•it is based on active engagement by the leader with ideas and materials, and students add to or
sometimes change the previous knowledge
•holds that learning is a socially enacted process, that is, constructivism+others=social constructivism
•what children learn on how they think are driven directly from their social world. Their social world is the
source of all their concepts, ideas, facts, skills and attitudes.
•there are three main characteristics built into social constructivism scenarios: they use complex, realistic
problems, they use group collaboration, interaction and cooperation, and learners are responsible and
set goals, while teachers provide guidance
•Lev Vygotsky, 1896-1934, institute of psychology in Moscow, Russia, father of knowledge, agreed with
Piaget, believed that people build their own knowledge and build on the social aspect of learning,
developed the theory of social constructivism, faced criticism
•ZPD: zone of proximal development: the difference between what a learner can do with support and what
a learner can do without support
•scaffolding: describes giving support to a student who cant do a task alone, helping them to complete the
task until you are capable.
•disadvantages: introverted people, dominant people,
•Gradual Release of Responsibility: teacher models what should be done, guided practise/ gradual relates
of responsibility: the teacher gives a lot of support but as they are able to do it themselves they release
responsibility, the student does all the work themselves: teacher does all, joint responsibility, all student
•cents of a network of other and the world around them
•digital story is used to convey knowledge on an application e.g. puppet pals, or iMovie
enquiry based learning:
•given real world problems to investigate
•emphasis is on developing understanding and problem solving
problem based learning:
•presented with a case or scenario that they need to solve, in a group setting, the teacher prompts and
encourages but does not teach in a traditional sense
MOBILE TRANSMISSION OF LEARNING
•cross over between social constructivism, mobile learning, social media, mobile devices and hard ware
•apps: single purpose pieces of software that you download to a smart device
•generic apps can be used across broad range of knowledge
•productive apps:a slow students to refine their understanding and communicate it to others (generic
productive apps)
Week 4, Online Lecture: Mobile Learning in the Developing World
GLOBALISATION
•controversial term, still not full understood or defined
•developing world, developed world, common terms
•globalisation: is the process of international integration arising from the interchange of world views,
products, ideas and mutual sharing, and other aspects of culture.
•natural occurring process that promotes connections between communities and cultures around the
world
•some people believe that globalisation is economic and political, take over of the world my multinational
