Theory

Mobilised Learning activities are based on the Situated Learning Theory, where:

  • Learning is situated within authentic activities, context & culture
  • Learning takes place when information is contextually relevant to learner & can be put to use immediately

Lave, J., & Wenger, E. (n.d.). Legitimate Peripheral Participation. Situated Learning, 27-44.

In designing for Mobilised Learning, consider the 3 areas:

  • Authencity (of task)
  • Collaboration (amongst participants)
  • Personalisation (of learning)
