About Learning on the Go: Mobile Learning

More students are using mobile devices to access content and submit assignments.  Designing content for a mobile device makes content accessible when students are ready to learn.  This course is designed to provide educators with a mobile learning experience using the Canvas Mobile App. It is to be completed in its entirety on a mobile device (cell phone or tablet) to expose the learner to a truly mobile learning environment. Educators will learn best practices for mobile learning and microlearning and be able to choose what kind of multimedia they would like to consume and curate to create their own mini mobile lesson plans. To complete the course, educators will create their own video or podcast to specifically meet the needs of their students.

Due to a large number of participants in these courses grading is done on a monthly rotation, usually on the first Monday of each month. It can take an additional week to process the grade through SUU or USBE. Please understand these expectations before registering for this course.
