QR

The growth of smartphone adoption across the world, in particular the iPhone, has driven the development of mobile app’s and mobile web sites. For educators there is a unique opportunity to tap into this phenomenon and explore what we can do with these technologies to engage our students.
 * Using QR Codes and the Mobile Web **

At King’s we have combined QR codes and a simple mobile platform in a pilot program to try and give our students a different way to learn about the school library, the personnel and the services offered. This workshop will look at why and how it was developed and the issues that have been encountered thus far. Delegates will also have the opportunity to begin the development of their own mobile websites with the view to setting up their own mobile library orientation program.

Mark Kelly is Head of Media at The King’s School and has been working as an ICT integrator for the last 10 years. He has several passions in life. He is mad for technology, loves breeding birds and hanging with his family.

Files for presentation:

(10mb) (Keynote) (11.5 mb) (.ppt) ( 2.5 mb) (.pdf) (5.3 mb)

(Extract the mLib files onto your computer and using any HTML editor, use the files to create your own mobile website for your library or any faculty that is looking to explore accessing information on mobile devices.)

I will try and create a series of short screen recordings to walk people through the development of their own mobile web using the mLib framework. I will email John Clear when I can get this up and running.
