In partnership with St. Paul Convent’s School, the project aims to promote mobile learning in English and Liberal Studies as well as enhance students’ self-directed learning through the use of i-pads inside and beyond the classroom. Below are the details of the project:
Action Plan:
- Use of tablets/ iPods Touch as the Mobile devices and skill training for teachers
- Possible application of Mobile Learning in English Language/ Liberal Studies and resources (RTHK, iTunes, u-tube, TED)
- Building a media-rich and theme-based teaching resources portal for Mobile Learning with ready-made content gathered online including just-in-time news documentary, audio and video podcasts or simulation games.
- Establishing an effective evaluation framework on Mobile Learning
Modes of Support:
- Training workshops on the development and usage of Mobile devices and related IT platforms
- Seminars and experience sharing on the new pedagogies and approaches of delivering the above curricula using Mobile Learning
- School visits, lesson demonstrations, observations and post-observations sharing
- Professional dialogue on the development pathway of Mobile Learning with St. Paul’s Convent School, including both hardware and software management
Expectations of the Project:
- Student motivation in learning Liberal Studies & English Language will be enhanced
- Paradigm shift from teacher-centred to student-centred in learning where students can take initiative to path their pace of learning and manage to broaden their horizons
- Professional interaction with St Paul’s Convent School and other partner schools will be enhanced in Mobile Learning
