Mobile teaching and learning: engaging students and measuring impact.
Veronica Diaz, EDUCAUSE, Washington, DC, USA, vdiaz@educause.edu

Abstract: The ELI’s 2010 focus session on blended learning brought together a collection of best practices, case studies, and research on mobile technologies’ potential to engage students and enhance learning. We’ll review the community’s findings and institutional examples of mobility’s potential in the areas of content delivery, student collaboration, and community building. We’ll also share strategies and methodologies to help measure the impact of mobile tools on teaching and learning. Throughout the session, we’ll engage participants on these questions: What are your challenges/opportunities in these areas? What research in this area might be useful to the community to further mobility?
