Mobile phones are the vehicle for wider social change. Most of the millennials use social media tools such as Face book, Blogs, Twitter, Google, etc. They are ‘always on’ and connected to geographically-dispersed friendship groups. Mobile Learning means the personalized, connected, and interactive use of mobile phones in classrooms, collaborative learning, fieldwork, counseling and guidance. It is relevant for teaching, learning, research, and creative inquiry. It offers countless applications for self-study, reference, drill and practice, fieldwork, and research in hundreds of disciplines. Thus mobile learning has made “Education for all, anywhere, anytime, and any situation” possible. India has the world’s second-largest mobile phone user base and the world’s third-largest Internet user-base. In this context, the study conducted by Dr. C. Thenmozhi and Dr. K.S. Ramakrishnan is a significant one. This book deals with various dimensions of mobile learning in an exotic manner. It is not an exaggeration that this book is a must for students, teachers, and research scholars who are in the field of mobile learning. The book may pave the way for new findings. In that way, it is a lighthouse for the future researchers. The authors have penned such a good work in time and the academic fraternity may get many more such books in future.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The essential e-learning design manual, updated with the latest research, design principles, and examples e-Learning and the Science of Instruction is the ultimate handbook for evidence-based e-learning design. Since the first edition of this book, e-learning has grown to account for at least 40% of all training delivery media. However, digital courses often fail to reach their potential for learning effectiveness and efficiency. This guide provides research-based guidelines on how best to present content with text, graphics, and audio as well as the conditions under which those guidelines are most effective. This updated fourth edition describes the guidelines, psychology, and applications for ways to improve learning through personalization techniques, coherence, animations, and a new chapter on evidence-based game design. The chapter on the Cognitive Theory of Multimedia Learning introduces three forms of cognitive load which are revisited throughout each chapter as the psychological basis for chapter principles. A new chapter on engagement in learning lays the groundwork for in-depth reviews of how to leverage worked examples, practice, online collaboration, and learner control to optimize learning. The updated instructor's materials include a syllabus, assignments, storyboard projects, and test items that you can adapt to your own course schedule and students. Co-authored by the most productive instructional research scientist in the world, Dr. Richard E. Mayer, this book distills copious e-learning research into a practical manual for improving learning through optimal design and delivery. Get up to date on the latest e-learning research Adopt best practices for communicating information effectively Use evidence-based techniques to engage your learners Replace popular instructional ideas, such as learning styles with evidence-based guidelines Apply evidence-based design techniques to optimize learning games e-Learning continues to grow as an alternative or adjunct to the classroom, and correspondingly, has become a focus among researchers in learning-related fields. New findings from research laboratories can inform the design and development of e-learning. However, much of this research published in technical journals is inaccessible to those who actually design e-learning material. By collecting the latest evidence into a single volume and translating the theoretical into the practical, e-Learning and the Science of Instruction has become an essential resource for consumers and designers of multimedia learning.

This book was released on 2024-05-30 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: National Education Policy 2020 states that India is a global leader in information and communication technology and education will play a critical role in this transformation. Technology and education at all levels have a mutually beneficial relationship since technology itself significantly contribute to the enhancement of educational procedures and results.In the field of education, technology is also putting a drastic change and making the way of learning and teaching much easier and more innovative as compare to the olden days. Especially during the time of pandemic, technology played a very crucial role in the field of education. It makes people aware about the technical world. The first education policy of the twenty-first century, National Education Policy 2020 attempts to address the many expanding experimental imperatives facing our nation. In order to create a new system that is in line with the ambitious goals of 21st-century education, including SDG4, while building upon India's traditions and value systems, this policy suggests changing and remodelling every element of the educational structure, including its regulation and governance. The National Education Policy lays particular emphasis on the development of the creative potentiality of each person. One of the endless tasks of the National Educational Technology Forum (NETF) will be to classify imperative technologies grounded on their implicit and estimated timeframe for dislocation, and to periodically present this analysis to MHRD. MHRD will formally identify those technologies whose emergence necessitates reactions from the educational system based on these inputs. Keeping in mind the recommendations of NEP 2020, this book is the attempt to highlight the new emerging technologies of the 21st century which help the teacher and the students to understand the concept and importance of these emerging technologies. This book provides a comprehensive understanding of the emergence and evolution of new technologies in the field of education to enhance learning. It consists of 11 chapters which includes Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning - provide predictive analytics and individualized learning experiences and have the potential to completely transform the education industry. Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality -these two cutting-edge technologies provide immersive and interactive learning experiences and are becoming more and more popular in the educational sector. Data Analytics or Learning Analytics -with its ability to provide insights on student performance, engagement, and learning outcomes, data analytics is becoming more and more significant in the educational field. By analysing data from different sources, educators can identify trends, predict student success, and implement evidence-based strategies to improve teaching and learning. Microlearning and Mobile Learning -they represent a paradigm shift in the Indian educational framework. They align with the national goals of digital India and education for all, promoting a more democratized, flexible, and learner-centric approach to education. Internet of Things (IoT) - often termed as "Smart Education," encompasses a wide array of applications that transcend traditional learning methodologies. It aims to transcend traditional boundaries, enabling a seamless blend of physical and digital learning spaces, which is especially pivotal in a country marked by diverse socio-economic and geographical landscapes. Gamification and Game-Based Learning - with their inclusive and adaptable nature, offer a more personalized and engaging learning experience. This is particularly relevant in a country like India, where digital access and literacy are on the rise, paving the way for digital learning solutions to make a substantial impact. Electronic and interactive textbooks - these digital resources have revolutionized the way educators teach and students learn, offering dynamic content that goes beyond the static pages of traditional textbooks. Active and Collaborative Learning - in the realm of education, active learning is not just a methodology but a paradigm shifts that champions student engagement as the cornerstone of effective learning. This approach, significantly beneficial in the Indian context, challenges students to interact with the material, engage in higher-order thinking, and apply knowledge in varied scenarios. It's an approach that transforms classrooms from silent note-taking environments to vibrant interactive spaces where students question, discuss, and explore subjects deeply. This book examines the current state of these new technologies from several educational perspectives, highlights some of them, and discusses both their established and potential educational benefits. In addition, it provides an in-depth discussion of recent developments and future challenges from many different perspectives. This book is an informative resource for scholars, policymakers and researchers in pedagogy, educational technology, digital learning, communication and education research. The book content equips educators at all levels with essential information required to adapt to emerging technologies in order to improve teaching, student support and learning outcomes.
