They did not only want to display the temples, but also give a simulations of the events leading up to the temple of Augustus. Abstract as described in the proceedings of the conference We here describe experiments with a potential mobile augmented reality genre for learning, a so-called 'situated simulation' (sitsim). It is a function of the activity and culture in which it occurs. With mobile augmented reality and situated simulations it is possible to support and extend the “situatedness” of learning and education in new ways by means of information technologies (IT).

There has been considerable activity at the University of Canberra with the implementation of Apple-based systems for supporting teaching and learning.  The first day focused on fundamental concepts of iPhone development (I shall never forget the “Model/View/Controller&# song from last year’s WWDC), the language (Objective C) and the development environment (XCode+Interface Builder+iPhone Simulator).  The three-day event was hosted at Clifton’s Training on George Street, and the facilities were excellent.  Nick demos adding an image to an iPhone app. MORE >>

In case you missed the first half, see Games and Simulations. We need to create guidelines to help target informal learning, we need to create environments in which informal learning can occur (both virtually and face-to-face) and we need to encourage experts within our organizations to actively engage in sharing knowledge.

If you are intrigued by the future of learning design, you won’t want to miss the second half of this interview with Karl Kapp. Learning initiatives are not altruistic for companies. Wrong format.

Moderators: Judy Brown - Mobile Learning Solutions Bob Mosher - Performance Support Tools Karl Kapp - Games and Simulations Tony Karrer - Self-Paced eLearning Solutions Demonstrations will showcase a variety of different kinds of eLearning. One of the hardest things to find are real-life examples of different kinds of eLearning solutions. On May 21, Learn Trends will be hosting a free online event where the people who have developed interesting eLearning solutions will demonstrate and briefly discuss what they've done. Started by creating a video and a day in the life. Attendance. MORE >>

A: Mobile learning or eLearning on iPads/tablets can be used for providing field based staff/agents with a mobile enabled environment where they can access the training activities in the form of videos, podcasts, eLearning courses, quizzes and evaluation surveys and also enables them to use their mobile device to share knowledge with others (within or outside their team) in real-time. A: Captivate 6 publishes interactive eLearning content as HTML5 so you can run it on iPads and also features a ‘HTML5 tracker’ that highlights activities that are not supported on tablets. MORE >>
