DEIMP

Menyokong pendidik untuk merancang dan menilai episod pembelajaran inovatif

The DEIMP app is a multi-purpose mobile app that will support educators and pre-service teachers in designing and evaluating creative and innovative learning episodes for their students. The project team uses a design-based research methodology to design and construct the app over three iterative cycles.

The innovative mobile application which will be developed will be used to identify and design original and transformational mobile learning scenarios across various contexts (e.g., in formal spaces, in outdoor spaces, etc.), and to collect data in situ to evaluate the impact of these scenarios on learners in teacher education and in schools. It will be used by teacher educators with their pre-service teachers and by teachers in schools in order to expand their repertoire of mobile learning designs.

The mobile app will include:

• Opportunities to watch highly transformational video exemplars of mobile learning, and support for users in deconstructing these exemplars in order to identify their underlying structures and principles. This will enable users to construct their own transformational learning designs using scaffolds provided through the app.

• A theoretical framework for the construction of mobile designs.

• A number of survey tools to enable users to evaluate their current practices.

• A tool that enables users to identify apps that have been ranked as potentially transformational across different settings.

• Data collection from users that will lead to recursive modification, redesign and wider dissemination of a bank of transformative mobile learning scenarios.
