28 June 2010- Visiting the Office of Naval Research Global

An invite from an old friend and colleague had me visiting the office of Naval Research today. The organisation in building and fostering international connections, propels the execution of long-range strategic efforts that address the future needs of the naval fleet and forces and international partners.

The project that Jake Hodges is involved with is an educational one. One that enables mobile learning for the fleets away from home. An international project that is cutting edge, and very exciting. Jake has invited SCOLA to join the research group with the view for us to use the technology for adult learning. I am very pleased to be part of this group and look forward to working with Jake on creating the future generation of online and distance learning.

Mobile Learning Environment (MoLE) is a multinational, multilingual project aimed at leveraging the global cellular network infrastructure, mobile phones, and emerging phone applications to build a mobile learning capability that facilitates the sharing of educational content between the US and Multinational Partners that initially supports medical stability operations.

SCOLA will be looking to host the first global meeting due to take place in Jan 2011. Watch this space.
