Design Tools. Examples - Mobile Learning Handbook. The initial Merrill Lynch pilot, entitled GoLearn, involved offering three mandated courses both via MLU (Merrill Lynch University) and via the BlackBerry in 2007.
Merrill Lynch is now a part of Bank of America. Standards for delivery on the BlackBerry were established in design, technology, security and privacy. The goals of the pilot included proving the access, usage and the effectiveness of learning delivered via the BlackBerry to the global population. Additionally they sought to: Deliver training with no degradation to learning effectivenessAchieve 25% of eligible participationAchieve a comparable average score to the control groups, and Obtain a 10% higher completion rate in 10% less time Over a seven-week period, the learning materials were wirelessly pushed to over 2,100 investment bankers and select support staff. The outcomes exceeded the goals. VPs and higher leveraged the mobile materials the most. 170 employees responded to a survey indicating: Project K-Nect. Top 50 mLearning (Mobile Learning) Resources. Mobile Learning: Is the FRAME Model still current? - Thoughts, writing & snippets.
I was asked to do a short video interview for a group of master’s students.
This was one of the questions: Five years has passed since you developed the FRAME Model. In that time there has been an explosion in the number and type of mobile learning devices available to instructors and learners. Is the FRAME Model still current? That is a very good question, the answer to which helps me clarify the nature of the FRAME model. The acronym comes from a rather verbose title: Framework for the Rational Analysis of Mobile Education.
Basically the model is a heuristic; that is, it is a tool, like a lens, that allows someone to critically examine a given phenomenon. The FRAME Model is a Venn diagram composed of three overlapping circles: The circles represent the characteristics of the device, the learner, and the social. When these aspects overlap each other, we start to see interesting developments. Now, in answer to the question above: Yes, the FRAME Model is still current. Mobile learning is for everyone.
