Re-purposing content for mobile learning
Overview
This workshop enables practitioners to develop an understanding of how to use
simple techniques to re-purpose online learning materials for use with mobile
devices. In addition, it includes an essential introduction to using the
MoLeSHARE resource website.
Practical guidance is provided in re-purposing freely available NLN (National
Learning Network) materials, showing how this can be done simply and effectively
by staff with little technical knowledge. Delegates also have the opportunity to
upload their work onto the MoLeSHARE site for future collaboration.
