Design thinking for mlearning: Herding a flock of MOAs

Abstract

In this paper we outline the design thinking principles and processes that informed the development of wireless mobile presentation systems called MOAs (Mobile Airplay screens) that enable a refocus upon new pedagogies. We reflect upon user feedback from four implementations in which we develop collaborative curriculum design principles for integrating the use of MOAs within new pedagogical paradigms. Arguably the single defining attribute of mobile devices is their mobility, and the mobility of the learner that this affords, which by current technology limitations corresponds with small screen size. Thus mobile devices are inherently personal communication and productivity devices. Enabling..
