Mobile Learning project for a regular in-class French course
Blog: “Qu’est-ce que ça veut dire?” (What does it mean?)
This LIF Mobile project is intended for an online non-science majors introduction to biology class.
Learning Objective:
By the end of this learning module students will be able to:
1- Define the following terms – Gene, allele, genotype, phenotype, genome.
2- Explain the relationship between a genotype and phenotype using the examples discussed in class
3- Predict the phenotype and genotype of a mating using a Punnet Square.
5- Describe the Human Genome Project and then discuss the possibility of having their own genome sequenced.
4- Discuss current topics including genetic disease, genetic modification, etc.
Project Abstract: “The HP Technology for Teaching grant has given Bluegrass Community and Technical College the ability to offer access to high quality mobile technology and to gain immediacy in collection, analysis and sharing of data. The General Chemistry Lab courses have begun using mobile tablet PC technology to perform experiments where data is collected in real-time, students assist each other in analysis of data and results are shared. The use of mobile technology has allowed the chemistry faculty and students to move the laboratory outside the walls of the institution making our chemistry courses less abstract and more meaningful. “
A USC Annenberg journalism class used the iPad as a reporting tool. According to Wendy Chapman, “As a school that’s trying to imagine and help create the future of journalism, testing the boundaries of a new and powerful mobile device is important,” she said. “It’s vital to push the boundaries and demystify technology. Students need to be comfortable trying new things.”

Steve & I were just at a BC Educational Technology Group Spring Conference, and there heard about and met some folks that were running a digital storytelling course that was offered via traditional classroom registration, but also via an open course that anyone in the world could register for. Grant Potter, from UNBC, who is collaborating with us on another project, set up an Internet Radio station for participants to “tell their stories” either live or recorded on the open Internet. This is of massive interest to us because Steve’s triple loop process easily incorporates the “storytelling” process. Jonathon Dueck from Kent also referenced storytelling in his session with us.
