What is Mobile Blended Learning and How to Use It?
Dr. Chris)an Glahn Interna)onal Rela)ons and Security Network ETH Zürich
Blended Learning refers to educa)onal concepts that combine and integrate face-‐to-‐face and online (web-‐based) learning ac)vi)es
Blended Learning
Combined approach
Mobile Blended Learning refers to educa)onal concepts that integrate special mobile learning ac)vi)es into blended or non-‐blended learning
Mobile Blended Learning
Combined approach
Special mobile learning ac)vi)es mean that learners perform different ac)ons than in web-‐based LMSes!
More than just
another
interface to
the LMS!
Mobile blended learning sounds complicated
But with good to
ols it isn’t
The basic ingredients: A LMS that can interact with a mobile app
We went and
built it for you!

Seamless LMS integra4on is the key to Mobile Blended Learning
The Power of Modern LMSes
• Course management
• Student management
• Content management
• Course and content authoring
Mobler Cards diverts t
his power
to the students’ mobiles
Leverage the power of modern LMSes for new mobile learning ac)vi)es!
“New” refers to lear

Mobler Cards respects the course management rules of a student’s LMS
• Several ques)on pools in a course blend into a single learning experience
• Mobler Cards provides only the material to a learner that is available during access )me
Mobler Cards respects the course management rules of a student’s LMS
• Several ques)on pools in a course blend into a single learning experience
• Mobler Cards provides only the material to a learner that is available during access )me
This has powerful si
de effects for
mobile blended learni
ng
Powerful Side Effects
• Mul)ple ques)on pools can be arranged and sequenced just like any other course material
• Ques)on pools can be assigned to different user groups in a course
• Learners always experience an integrated course instead of separated material
6 Ideas for Mobile Blended Learning with Mobler Cards
1. Course prepara)on 2. Homework for face-‐to-‐face classes 3. Flipped classroom 4. Group ac)vi)es 5. Audience-‐specific assignments 6. Exercises for online courses and MOOCs

3 Primary Learning Design Approaches for LMS-‐driven Content Sequencing
• Time-‐centered approaches
• Par)cipant-‐centered approaches
• Process-‐centered approaches
Content availability is defined in the LMS
No extra tool
s needed
Time-‐centered Approaches to Content Sequencing
Content availability
is
defined by date and
)me
Teachers can also manually ac)vate the course material
Course prepara)on Lorem ipsum …
Lorem ipsum …
A ques)on pool is open un)l the main course starts
Homework for face-‐to-‐face classes
Lorem ipsum … Lorem ipsum … Lorem ipsum …
Every week a new ques)on pool replaces the old ones
Flipped Classroom
Lorem ipsum … Lorem ipsum … Lorem ipsum …
Amer every session new exercises are ac)vated that are discussed during the next session
Par4cipant-‐centered Approaches to Content Sequencing
Content availability
is
defined for users an
d groups
Group ac)vi)es
Each par)cipant gets specific exercises, the group synthesizes the knowledge
Audience-‐specific Assignments
Lorem ipsum … Lorem ipsum …
Online Test
Special exercises are available to one group
General exercises are available to all
Special professional learning needs
Process-‐centered Approaches to Content Sequencing
Content availability
is defined
by previous ac)vi)es
Exercises for online courses and MOOCs
