Open University Students Learn French on the Move with Learnosity Voice

Posted At : April 27, 2010 12:32 PM

Learnosity partnered with The Open University on a project that looked at how mobile devices can be integrated into course study.

The research project explored and evaluated the contexts in which students find mobile devices most beneficial in learning. Furthermore, the project sought to inform future plans for integrating mobile speaking activities into the design of new courses.

The most interesting finding, I would say, was students commenting on the challenging and authentic aspect of tackling listening and speaking in this more 'realistic' way. That made me re-think how we teach listening and speaking.
