1 like322 views
This document discusses a mobile learning system aimed at enhancing foreign language learning through a collaborative game utilized for German language courses at the University of Cádiz. The system allows for anonymized communication, monitors interactions, and supports assessment through various tests and a technology acceptance model questionnaire. Future improvements include deeper analysis of student interactions and extending the game's functionality.
A Collaborative Mobile Learning System to Facilitate Foreign Language Learning and Assessment Processes
- 1. A Collaborative Mobile Learning System to Facilitate Foreign Language Learning and Assessment Processes Manuel Palomo-Duarte Anke Berns José-Luis Isla-Montes Juan-Manuel Dodero Owayss Kabtoul
- 3. Introduction ● Game successfully used for 5 years in a A1.1 level German language course at the University of Cadiz: – Each student has her own agenda – She must record different activities in her agenda – Activities have to be arranged jointly with other classmates – Students interact by writing and sending short messages on small pieces of paper
- 4. Goals ● Can we improve this game with ITC? – Students' identities are anonymized – Misunderstandings are automatically detected – Scales for large groups – Supervisors can monitor the process – Can be used in class or out of class
- 5. Design Group and Task settings Monitorization Interaction analysis Chat interaction Appointments recorded in the calendar Anonymized chat Appointments checked among calendars Terminkalender server Teacher app Student app
- 6. Teacher App ● Define tasks ● Create groups ● Add users to groups
- 7. Student App
- 8. Case study ● Students played the game 3 times (1 hour each game) during 5 weeks – Experimental group (app) – Control group (paper version) ● Data collected – 1 pre-test and 4 post-tests – TAM (Technology Acceptance Model) questionnaire
- 10. Conclusions ● The game already worked well, but was enhanced: – Supervisors can monitor the learning process ● Anonymity => Communication solely in the target language – Misunderstandings are checked – Scales for large groups ● Future work: – Deeper analysis of the information: ● quantitative and qualitative interaction ● Behavioural patterns ● Assessing specific competences – Extend the game: unexpected restrictions during the game
