CloudBank at University's Learning and Teaching Conference

Had fun with the CloudBank app at an interactive session at the annual learning and teaching conference.

Audience members suggested words and definitions, which were entered via the mobile interface before appearing as if by magic on the web view. Lots of ideas for extending the app beyond language learning.

We've been working for the last year on a mobile learning project, CloudBank, which we think tests the boundaries of informal, student-led learning, based on sharing of learner generated content. The blog for this JISC-funded project is here. We've just had some extra funding from JISC to carry out an evaluation study with International students learning English here in Brighton.

A short paper on the project, based on a presentation at last year's HandHeld Learning conference, has just been published in the Spring issue of the RCETJ: http://www.rcetj.org/index.php/rcetj/issue/current
