ABSTRACT
Mobile learning is well established in literature and practice, but under-evolved from a rigorous learning design perspective. Activity theory presents a sophisticated way of mapping and understanding learning design, but for mobile learning this does not always translate into change in practice. The reported research addresses this by coupling a mobile learning specific approach to activity theory with a practice-based framework: the design for transfonnative mobile learning framework mapped to the pedagogy-andragogy-heutagogy continuum matrix (the DTML -PAH Matrix). Seven case studies are analysed using this approach and presented narratively along with framework informed analysis. Findings include that the DI'ML -PAH Matrix can be used to provide clearer implications and guidance for mobile learning practice, and that the DTML -PAH Matrix can also be guided by the practice over time. Implications for further research and practice are discussed.
ABSTRACT
The mantra from emergency management professionals is that lessons learned when enacted are beneficial;when they are not, it is a lesson observed. The COVID-19 pandemic has required healthcare organisations to be agile and responsive. This paper describes how Alberta Health Services leveraged the lessons learned from previous incidents in order to provide a flexible response to a rapidly evolving situation.
