A Computer-Assisted Language Learning (CALL) perspective on writing language teaching and learning content for mobile apps |
Writing content for mobile learning environments requires more than just transferring information from eLearning sites. In addition to incorporating best practices for engaging learners with online content, writers need to consider other factors unique to the reading audience and content delivery on mobile devices. This segment of the Intersection provides the CALL perspective on creating, adapting and using content for mobile apps and in mobile learning environments. |

Susan Gaer |
Student Developed Content as a way of learning more powerfully
|
Student developed content is a powerful way to assess students mastery of language concepts as well as engaging them in the active learning process. Through the use of online quiz creators, Google Apps and video apps, students create projects where they show what and how much they have learned. Student work will be highlighted using Kahoot, Showme, and Quizziz. Sample lessons will be highlighted so that participants can try out an activity as soon as they return to their classrooms.

Kurtis Foster |
Mobile applications for English language teaching and learning
|
Describing the “push vs. pull” dichotomy of content will show how mobile content can engage students more fully and authentically. I will explore this notion through projects that use the mobile app Aurasma, the Augmented reality creation app to facilitate students creation of their own digital apps. When completed, these apps are continuously available digital artifacts that inform others of the culture/infrastructure/interesting things available within the students’ new community. While being developed by students (actually working on the project), they give the students a chance to learn about these resources first hand through outside-of-the-classroom learning and investigating, and in-class organizing/consolidating. |
