HRDF Course-Mobile Multimedia and Augmented Reality Learning for STEM Education

Mobile learning is transitioning from an “option” to a “must have” due to shift in learner profiles, learning patterns, device use pattern and rapid growth of new technologies. It provides ubiquitous, flexible, contextual, immersive, personalized and connective learning environment which enables new generation of learners to achieve higher levels of learning and improve their soft skills. In this workshop, the participants will develop mobile multimedia learning materials, mobile augmented reality learning materials and learn how to use these materials with the other teaching methods.
