As part of my course on mLearnng for the University of Manitoba certification in Emerging Technologies, our class designed a survey with Survey Monkey on the future of mobile learning and we received 153 responses. It was distributed through a range of networks representing our own personal educational networks (mine was via a group of 12 graduate students in education via a local university and via a Ning site, Learning Town. We were then asked as part of the course to blog on results.

2 the google apps suite of online software offers a lot of opportunities for Jun 28, 2011 5:15 PM
collaboration and instructional opportunities outside a traditional class setting
and within.
3 If possible, capability should be there since it's almost impossible to have Jun 24, 2011 11:47 AM
information loaded on device to cover every situation, especially in educational
setting. Situation slightly different if device being used as job-aid. Depends upon
application, budget.

24. Page 4, Q22. What do you consider is the future of mobile learning in your institution/organization? (Responses
may relate to, preparing mobile content, creating more suitable apps, providing users with mobile devices;
greater access etc.)
1 access Jul 1, 2011 9:47 PM
2 I am on my iPhone now and I have seen iPads used in kinder classrooms and Jul 1, 2011 6:07 PM
up...i think the major issue of mobiles in classroom is as I said above. Cheating,
cost, access etc. I think the time will come but some issues will have to be
worked out,
3 There is some resistance from the faculty, but students will demand the Jul 1, 2011 5:06 PM
implementation. Administrators will need to provide more support for appropriate
content development.
4 Enhance communication with learner/parents; a major shift in how/what we Jun 28, 2011 5:15 PM
teach
5 We are not there yet! Jun 27, 2011 11:39 AM
6 Having meetings via podcast. Jun 24, 2011 2:33 PM
7 Use of online platform to promote learner autonomy Jun 24, 2011 1:00 PM
8 Specific areas might make use of mobile learning, but generally wireless laptop Jun 24, 2011 11:47 AM
would be used.
9 We are researching issuing pads to increase literacy and allowing smartphone Jun 24, 2011 9:15 AM
use in ever class in a responsible manner
10 If I don't drive it, it won't happen. Resistance by leadership to using phones Jun 24, 2011 8:44 AM
during meetings. Seen as a distraction and a waste of time.
11 We are just planning on starting to use mobile devices next year. I think mobile Jun 24, 2011 6:43 AM
devices will be a Swiss army knife for students across the curriculum.
12 Greater access Jun 24, 2011 1:25 AM
13 really varied - access content, outreach to community -- really it's hard to predict Jun 23, 2011 11:34 PM
and will probably be a bit of everything
14 1:1 rollout of student netbooks is ongoing over several years. Jun 23, 2011 11:31 PM
15 Preparing mobile content in order to engage studebts and provide greater Jun 23, 2011 11:27 PM
access, as well as expand and extend learning.
16 Must teach students how to use the mobile devices for a variety of purposes. Jun 23, 2011 11:26 PM
Most students are great at using phones for gaming, communication but not
necessarily education means. Also, there must be access to mobile devices and
funding including devices just for teachers issued by the employer. Educators
should not be using personal mobile devices to communicate with students.
17 Mobile learning will be more frequent in organizarions but will not take the place Jun 23, 2011 9:28 PM
of the computer...
18 I think mobile learning could have an incredible impact on how we structure high Jun 23, 2011 9:15 PM
schools if we allow it to expand possibilities. Our own fears are probably our
biggest barrier.

21 Shifting the Assessment process. Jun 23, 2011 7:04 PM
22 Access, taking learning out of the classroom Jun 23, 2011 7:03 PM
23 I believe the iPad will be the future. I think the versatility of the operating system Jun 23, 2011 2:24 PM
and the applications that can be added can be used to make tasks more
effective. For example, there are applications built for the iPad that work with the
PowerSchool program that our board is using for attendance. The list is huge
and growing that will reinforce all subject specific information for students in an
interactive and engaging atmosphere.
24 ease of access Jun 23, 2011 10:08 AM
25 We continue to encourage the use of personal mobile devices in my district. Jun 23, 2011 7:28 AM
26 Unsure. Jun 22, 2011 7:11 PM
27 Each student with there own mobile device. Jun 22, 2011 7:09 PM
28 Greater access to information/resources/tools. Greater communication with Jun 22, 2011 6:43 PM
students Greater transparency for students in terms of assessment, purpose etc.
29 Without teacher access, resources, and time, it won't happen! Jun 22, 2011 6:36 PM
30 I think we are very much behind Jun 22, 2011 6:14 PM
31 slow adoption by pioneers only; but active use of iPads in teacher education. Jun 22, 2011 10:29 AM
32 being able to be connected everywhere without having to pay fees. Jun 21, 2011 9:18 PM
33 I'm not familiar enough with the possibilities to answer this question. Jun 21, 2011 3:13 PM
34 Would be a very slow adoption. Jun 21, 2011 2:09 PM
35 We need to create more suitable content Jun 21, 2011 1:38 PM
36 No discussions about mobile learning at this time. Jun 21, 2011 10:46 AM
37 Problematic mobile devices very costly poverty is an issue for many students In Jun 21, 2011 10:34 AM
addition many of these devices require vision or manual dexterity to use huge
problem for disabled students .
38 I hope that using mobile apps will become the norm, that students will be allowed Jun 21, 2011 9:42 AM
to use their own mobile devices and apps that they are most familiar with, that
good teaching will be augemented by the use of mobile devices, that mobile
devices will be viewed as a tool to be used in the process of learning and that
ultimately the conversation will be about the learning and not necessarily about
which tool got students there.

40 greater access to the internet Jun 20, 2011 6:42 PM
41 much of the questions do not personally apply Jun 20, 2011 6:36 PM
42 It is exciting to think about the potential uses of mobile devices in teaching and Jun 20, 2011 5:10 PM
learning; however, like all technologies, they will over-promise and under-deliver.
Lack of skill, training, support, and time will remain the biggest barriers. I have
very little faith that my institution will ever take mobile learning or any other form
of tech-enhanced learning seriously enough to provide the types of resources
required to be successful in this area.
43 Undecided... Jun 20, 2011 4:55 PM
44 The use will grow rapidly. I'm a slow adopter but am coming on board and can Jun 20, 2011 4:50 PM
see this taking off in the future. Access to mobile and devices and cost will be
barriers.
45 I'd like to see teachers provide more mobile content, to provide students Jun 20, 2011 3:32 PM
alternative pathways to share, to colloborate, and to demonstrate knowledge.
46 Creating more suitable apps that are content-rich, up-to-date, shareware and Jun 20, 2011 2:55 PM
copy-left.
47 developing apps, training on choosing and using apps in an academic setting, Jun 20, 2011 2:48 PM
making current content more mobile-friendly
48 The very near future needs to see all students given access to a computer Jun 20, 2011 2:11 PM
during all school hours - 1 computer per child. I teach in a community school
where student engagement is very low. When I use the computers the
engagement increase 100%
49 EXTREMELY HIGH Jun 20, 2011 1:56 PM
50 Our system is switching over to PC and up until now we have been Mac based. I Jun 20, 2011 1:31 PM
am concerned that there will be more viruses and the machines will break down
more often with the high volume of student use. I think it is also a challenge to
keep all staff members current.
51 I think that the reduced cost of mobile devices will eventually provide our Jun 20, 2011 1:13 PM
students with more consistent access to web-related services. As student
access becomes more consistent, teachers may be more willing to prepare
online content and pursue a more paperless classroom.
52 Providing physicians, residents, and medical students with point of care tools so Jun 20, 2011 12:24 PM
that they can provide better patient care at the bedside.
53 more widespread use and more suitable apps Jun 20, 2011 12:03 PM
54 greater access Jun 20, 2011 11:55 AM
55 It will continue to expand with the development of new technology. Jun 20, 2011 11:44 AM

57 Providing users with mobile devices, greater access, teacher training, time (for Jun 20, 2011 11:32 AM
finding appropriate apps, uses, etc.)
58 I would like to see a push toward tablet use in high schools - I am planning to try Jun 20, 2011 11:30 AM
and gain access to tablets (ipad etc.) for my high school as I see these tools
becoming very relevant in the future of education, work and personal life.
59 We hope allow to access and use their mobile devices under the guidance of a Jun 20, 2011 11:03 AM
staff member to enhance their education.
60 We are planning to launch a pilot program of ipads in the fall with first graders Jun 20, 2011 7:56 AM
61 It's a coming tsunami... however, our Webcourses platform for university-level Jun 20, 2011 1:09 AM
online courses does not work well with iPad or iPad2... the interface needs to
improve dramatically...
62 I do not believe that true 'learning' will be achieved through any mobile device. Jun 19, 2011 10:18 PM
63 Preparing mobile content Jun 19, 2011 5:21 PM
64 Need to do much more to build the comfort and confidence of teachers to Jun 19, 2011 10:52 AM
effectively use these powerful tools.
65 school becomes increasingly distributed online experience, less facility centric Jun 19, 2011 10:39 AM
and more asynchronous. Online capability is much cheaper than new/expanded
buildings, and 9-12 (my area) is becoming 24X7 anywhere anytime study at
individual student pace.
66 oral English practice Jun 19, 2011 10:35 AM
67 The future of mobile learning in our organization is key to its survival. Current Jun 19, 2011 10:30 AM
percentage of mobile device used in teaching is 50% and expanding in terms of
providing our participants with easy access to relevant information and efficient
up to date follow ups base on individualized needs and wants through various
modes of mobile devices. ie creating 'specific needs' focused apps, being an
instant resource avenue for participants globally, etc, as we write. Mobile
learning will be the primary source of teaching and training in the next 3 years of
this organisation as it is the fastest and most effective way of getting the point
across in this lightning paced generation.
68 For ESL: allowing easy interviews/recording of native speakers - possibly with Jun 19, 2011 9:56 AM
teacher in virtual attendance, geolocation tasks, esp. with RFIF tags, translation
on the fly, remote class attendance
69 Get over it - mobile Devices will become (if not already) ubiquitous - we need to Jun 19, 2011 8:40 AM
incorporate them into learning and teaching
70 We are currently looking into them for some of our students who need adaptive Jun 19, 2011 8:27 AM
technology.
71 Until we can guarantee 100% use by all students, they will be limited in scope. Jun 19, 2011 5:59 AM

72 My own survey on this issue showed that while male students tend to use their Jun 19, 2011 5:19 AM
mobile more effectively, female students will increase their apptitude of mobile
learning in a faster rate than the male students.
