UKS and Giunti Labs showcase mobile learning at IMCL2008 conference

by Personnel Today 21 Apr 2008

UKS, in cooperation with its technology partner, Giunti Labs, will be showcasing mobile learning content management solutions at the third International Conference on Interactive Mobile and Computer Aided Learning.

The IMCL 2008 conference aims to promote mobile learning in the Middle East.

It provides a forum for education and knowledge transfer, gives students access to the latest information communication technology applications and encourages the study and implementation of mobile applications within teaching and learning.

Fabrizio Cardinali, CEO of Giunti Labs, will be delivering a keynote speech at the conference entitled: ‘Innovating Learning Content Management towards 2010 Knowledge Society: Global Challenges, Threats and Opportunities’.

According to Cardinali, current trends in this area include:

·         The increasing use of mobile and location-based content delivery means that learning experiences are becoming informal and personalised.

·         There is a growth in informal access to learning via portals and software-as-a-service (SaaS) systems. This means that the learning content can now be customised by the learner rather than the developer or producer.

·         With the development of digital marketplaces, a network of content providers operating as ‘learning clearing houses’ has grown up. They take content, version it, deliver it and track it once it has been delivered.

·         With the development of these digital learning content marketplaces, content providers, content brokers and end users now interoperate on the basis of open and standard architectures and formats.

They can ‘download and play’ mobile models and innovative publishing models for education which embed professionally published contents with self-produced open and shared Web 2.0 contributions.

It is a sort of ’iTunes’ for education in an open, government-led marketplace for exchanging and trading digital resources for students.

·         Today’s big challenge facing providers of corporate learning materials is how to enrich existing standards for learning content publishing and distribution such as SCORM – especially adding web services protocols to content packages making the learning experience richer and more customised.

·         Other challenges relate to how to develop web-based services to search, query and retrieve repositories of learning content.
