Mobile learning is also a trendy buzzword - but one that is quite broad if you take a closer look: While in Berlin a mobile homelessUni was initiated, a university in Bonn is giving its students an iPad. The contrasts could not be greater. And what does real “mobile learning” look like now?

A university for the homeless

A homeless university was founded in Berlin this year. she wants People without an apartment, not the usual seminars for reintegration into society Society offer, but creative teaching and learning opportunities in all areas - from Egyptian culture to theater to philosophy.

Because even if the homeless could take advantage of public educational opportunities, such as at adult education centers, they often lack the opportunity Courage and Money in addition. Teaching is therefore carried out very mobile in homeless shelters or other places where people without a permanent home meet or stay.

But the special thing about it is that the homeless are not only course participants, but also lecturers. This way you should give them a new one Perspektive by learning that their skills are valued and needed. The website of the homeless university says:

The homeless should know that Background and can have a high relevance and his experiences are used and valued by others. By preparing a lecture/presentation, in addition to the increase of self-confidence, but also a deepening in the respective subject area, since the speaker will deal thoroughly with the subject in advance.

A survey shows a wide range of subjects

What kind of skills the homeless people can and want to convey, was surveyed from May to November 2011 in a survey. It came as a surprise to find out how Germany's radio knowledge, where there is also an Audiobject on the topic, can be read:

“A survey of homeless people showed that they can offer a wide range of subjects. From history lectures to social media seminars. ”

Gone away potential

What potential is this country giving away, which is notoriously at the back of the list in the Pisa study and where more money is spent on an airport in the capital than on educational institutions?

This is a good catchword, as the International University of Applied Sciences Bad Honnef / Bonn (IUBH) wanted to do something for mobile learning and gave its newly enrolled students a free iPad 1.10.2012 from the 3.

An iPad for students willing to pay

It's fair to say that the students there pay between 4.000 and 5.000 euros per semester, depending on the course, that's where they are Costs probably already included for the iPad. Update: These are the prices for the attendanceCourses. The distance learning courses cost between 1.800 Euro and in the Master almost 2.500 Euro.

However, the Bachelor and Master students have access to the entire teaching and learning offer of the IUBH Fernstudium at any time and at any time. The iPad certainly offers a wide range of applications:

Extensive application possibilities of the iPad

Learning materials can be accessed and used from anywhere via iTunes University (iTunes U), Online-Scripts, solution booklets and video lectures can be downloaded and viewed directly on the iPad.

The Contact with fellow students and supervisors directly from the learning environment, e.g eMail or forum, automatic reminders eg for online tutorials can be activated.

It's great that the IUHB wants to expand mobile learning in this way, that could be the way in the right direction for a university. It's just a pity that the measure only addresses new students who are still enrolled by December 31.12.2012, XNUMX fast enroll.

New customer acquisition with compulsory obligation

In addition, in the event of premature termination of the distance learning agreement, the iPad must be returned in working order within one week after termination - the student will, of course, pay for any damage or return.

A Sustainable Mobile Learning Strategy looks kind of different to me. The mobile learningSALE seems to me like the Sparkasse next door's attempt to win new customers with a compulsory obligation Stange to stay. Which strategy do you think is better?
