Have you wondered about m-Learning and the relationships of mobile phones to e-Learning? This class will explore pedagogical connectivity in urban or natural spaces around you for an introduction. We will use Google Earth and Maps to track environmental territories and conceptually overlay ways of spatial occupation documented through video, drawing, and text. In this context we explore ideas of the “digital flâneur,” media presence, and discuss implications of mobility, social media connectivity, and Twitter-flux. This is an experimental framework open to app exploration and the extension of learning and assignment production in the environment. For those interested, work may be produced from smartphones; but mobile phone use is not a requirement. The class may be completed from laptop and/or desktop computers.

Free!

Open only to current students of the MSc in E-Learning, and limited to 10 places. For further details, contact Dennis Dollens at D.L.Dollens@sms.ed.ac.uk
