EDU11150 Applied Practice for Blended and Online Teaching
Name of student: Neil Davie Matriculation number: 10017842 Personal development tutor: Keith Smyth Level: Masters No of credit points: 20

Outline of agreed applied teaching practice context (e.g. course, students, course delivery and facilitation approach)
Presentation of a webinar on mobile learning to other members of the BOE program. The webinar will give a general overview of mobile learning theory and practice. Student attitudes/readiness for mobile learning will be illustrated with data from my own research. Low cost solutions to introduce mobile learning elements into a module will be presented.

Individually e-mentor Nicky Howard-Kemp, a student on the CSBOE module of the BOE program. This will take the form of weekly mentoring sessions supporting Nicky in her development work for a JISC-supported project on implementing mobile learning at her institution, the University of Westminster. The focus of this mentoring will be on providing motivational support, assistance with time-management as well as guidance on mobile learning.
