Mobile devices and mobile technologies are significantly impacting the field of education. The dynamics of mobile computing is transforming the landscape of traditional classrooms. Education is a major factor in developing and sustaining a country. In a fast paced environment, traditional classrooms can be a hindrance to higher education. Mobile learning has the capacity to provide effective pedagogical and suitable learning activities for students of higher education. This paper explores m-learning and the shift of focus that it brings to educators and students. It looks at the relevance and place of m-learning in higher education, the framework for design as well as the devices and technologies that are available for use. The pedagogical approaches, assessment techniques and training that are suitable for the mobile environment are explored. The use of mobile devices allows for a level of flexibility that allows students to access education anywhere, anytime. Mobile learning provides a way for educational institutions to deliver educational content to its students on any platform, anyplace and at the time of need. For the design and implementation for mobile learning, the design approach was the point of focus. The relevance of mobile learning to Small Island Developing States and the future was highlighted.

Introduction This paper will be the first in a series outlining the contemporary use of educational technology in paramedic higher education. This paper describes a pilot study, which examines the student use of podcasting service within a Bachelor of Emergency Health (BEH) degree. The aim of this study is to report student usage patterns of the podcasting service as well as any perceived advantages or disadvantages to podcasting. Methods Second and third year undergraduate paramedic students (n=67) were surveyed with respect to their use of the podcasting service in 2006. An annual audit of students’ learning needs was taken from 2006-2008 with respect to relevant general student profile information. Results Almost two-thirds n=42 (62.7%) of the students did not download the Podcast lecture material. Of those that did, twenty students (29.9%) used Podcasts for reviewing lecture content; only two (3%) as a substitute to attending the lecture. Students described positive benefits as well as difficulties with the technology; seventeen (25.4%) reported revising concepts which they had not understood. The audit demonstrated that in Semester 1, 2008, 83% of students owned iPods or equivalent. Conclusion While only a minority of BEH students listened to the podcast lectures, those that did reported use for revision of theoretical concepts and revision for examinations. Podcasting appears to have significant potential for mobile learning (m-learning) allowing some students the capacity to utilise their study time more effectively. Podcasting may well prove useful for particular students, and should be given some qualified support.

AbstractThe paper concerns the Finnish product development teacherś perceptions on their pedagogical content knowledge in higher education settings. The aim is to describe and analyse what kind of pedagogical content knowledge the teachers have and, therefore, to provide a better understanding of the type of knowledge unique to product development teaching. The model of pedagogical content knowledge used here includes the components of product development content knowledge, pedagogical knowledge and pedagogical content knowledge. Based on seven teacher interviews, the main content knowledge concerns the process of product development, its different phases and methods as well as the usage of different software programs. The teachers use diverse teaching methods and their attitude towards educational technology is mostly positive. Course learning outcomes and working life are acknowledged when planning teaching, but only a few teachers take curriculum into account and participate in curriculum design. Even though the teachers use different evaluation methods in teaching, new ways of evaluation are needed. This may be something that innovative educational technology tools can make possible.

He pays particular attention to the varied approaches, measures, and research designs used to assess the effectiveness of interventions. He concludes with specific recommendations for improving the quality of intervention studies, suggests a conceptual model for explaining student change, and points out gaps in the extant knowledge base. An appendix provides an overview of racial bias measures used in the reviewed studies.
