Mobile Learning Summit

Wednesday June 9, 2010, 8:30 AM – Noon

Registration begins at 7:30 AM

The Mobile Learning Summit is a pre-GLS, 3 hour time of brainstorming and networking, hosted by Games Learning and Society and UW Madison's Academic Technology Department.

This event will be unlike most conferences you have attended. From the onset we have designed our time together to meet these two goals:

• Encourage authentic collaboration and community around real people in the domain of mobile learning
• Create an active, risky environment where every participant is an expert and emergent ideas are expected

After talks with Kurt Squire here at UW Madison, Eric Klopher's team at MIT and Coleen Macklin at Parsons we have decided to do something fun, bold and messy: We are going to make the GLS-MLS a facilitated mobile design jam.

If you haven't been to a design jam before, the goal is to produce a tangible artifact in a short amount of time. Along the way we will be working together in teams and hopefully getting to know each other and some of the people that have gone before us. All of the designs made during this time will be under the Creative Commons Attribution License for anyone to pick up and move forward.

Registration is free and done when you register for the GLS. Coffee and breakfast will not be provided.

If you want to start getting to know each other right now and share what you are thinking about, join the GLS-Mobile Facebook group.
