Teaching New Media

Mobile learning is an appropriate method in order to introduce a learner centred approach to your lessons. Despite that, the implementation of mobile learning into lessons contains many problems and require detailed instructions in order to ensure concrete learning outcome instead of mere meaningless work with smart phones, laptops etc. The most valuable advantage of mobile learning is the dissemination of knowledge, information which is always and everywhere accessible, so that the students can decide more freely about when and where they want to learn, which leads to higher motivation on the part of them. Although, I think that the learning possibilities concerning mobile learning are restricted, because complex explanations and thought processes cannot be transmitted through smart phones or other media, they depend on the presence of a teacher and face-to-face instructions. Consequently the usage of mobile learning is restricted but still constitutes a nice feature.
