To make it easy here is the template for mLearning overviews

[Ignatia/Inge de Waard]

Mobile Learning project Template (you can also find this as a Google document here)

Remark: feel free to add other relevant information. Each of the sections has a brief explanation, but feel free to contact me (Inge) if something is not clear, I am not an English native speaker and I can be chaotic at times, so I will gladly answer any questions (or remarks) you might have.

Sharing our mLearning projects is also a good opportunity for all of us to learn from each other and insure strong future projects. If you find others with similar ideas, you can also team up and get a joint project going.

1. Working title (make this short though clear: already give an idea of who, what, why in the title, for instance: empowering rural farmers to increase their crop production via basic cell phones and community support)

2. Type of mLearning field (language, health, environment, learners with learning difficulties…) – (can be useful to find similar projects amongst other participants)

3. Project goal (what do you want to achieve with this project? For instance: an improved financial awareness and action strategy for women in poor and challenged situations)

4. Target audience (Who will be the learners for this mLearning project? e.g. primary school children, illiterate workers, ...):

5. What type of technology and infrastructure can be expected? (which type of mobile device will be offered or do the target audience have at their disposal? What type of connectivity is to be expected on the target audience level? Is there stable electricity? Can you use mobile social media or not? Are the mobile devices basic (email, sms) or more elaborate (mobile apps, mobile browser …?)

6. Possible guarantees for sustainability (most of the time this is the most difficult part of a mLearning project or any technology project. Try to come up with durable ideas: using what the target population has, keeping costs low....)

7. Who are ALL the stakeholders that might influence the project? (e.g. school directors, district health clinics, ministry of education, top level managers...)

8. Deadline or timeline for developing the project (if any):

9. A broader description of the project (all the above elements only require a brief description, in this section you can elaborate the overall project, possibly with a scenario describing how the learning cycle of the project evolves... this will give us all a better indication of what you have in mind for the full project)

10. Which steps will you take to ensure you will reach your mLearning goal? (list the different steps that will bring you to a successful end result: interviewing the target population, getting funds from organisation X, developing mobile training....)

11. Problems you are not sure about? (Please list any insecurities here, that way we can all have a look and suggest possible solutions, together we can solve much more in less time).

Hallo Inge,

is it possible to move a topic from the general forum to this forum? Like other participants I introduced my idea already in the general forum and to avoid confusion or have people comment on two different places it might be good to move them into one place. Is there a way?

hi Sylvia, not sure if I can integrate it automatically, but you can copy/past it into the forum you have in mind - this one or the mLearning project forum (yes, I know that is old school, but still :-)
A copy past attempt should work.

If you want to I can do it for you, but than my name is on the post which might be confusing. But if you copy it as a new thread into this forum, I think it will work fine.

Best wishes!
Inge
