Punflay & Mobl21 at MobiLE 2012
Derek Keenan, a professional learning coach in 21st century learning and technology at Bert Church High School in Airdrie, Alberta, Canada presented Mobl21 and Punflay apps at MobiLE 2012 in Phoenix, Arizona. The presentation titled, The Educational Implications of App Innovations, showcased how developers are beginning to make a difference in education through their products.
Below is an excerpt of Derek’s blog post:
Emantras has a well polished Learning Management System called Mobl21. The key advantage of this system versus many of the free platforms available is the ability to assign students work in section, units or packages. These partitioned groups of resources are then downloaded by students in groups on the devices of their choice (Mobl21 supports iOS and Android) and the content is available when students are both on and offline. This solution is perfect for students going on holiday, as they will have access to school work while they are away. As the students complete a network, the system sends it back for assessment and/or grading. While there is much more to say about the Mobl21 platform, a brief outline of the features, functions and benefits is in the presentation I have shared with this post.
So what does this platform offer by way of educational benefit? I think one could argue that providing students greater autonomy in their learning by mobilizing the platform could have significant benefit for students who take advantage of it. In terms of students who are not highly motivated, this is a tool that can be used by educational support staff in conjunction with your classroom to ‘catch’ a student up. The quiz, flashcard and multimedia functionality allow for mini lessons, tutorials and socially connected feedback with the teacher. In this way, Mobl21 offers a ‘classroom outside the classroom’ setup when the regular classroom is unavailable.

Emantras releases Mobl21 HD for iPad
Award-winning Mobl21 m-learning app now available on the iPad
An innovative learning app, Mobl21 enables educators and learners to create content for any subject, which can be accessed from mobile devices. Leveraging its existing educational features, Mobl21 brings the best of mobile learning capabilities to the iPad, making it ideally suited for on-the-go learning. Using HTML5 and CSS3 technologies, the Mobl21 iPad application provides a rich set of user interactions for an enhanced learning experience.
“The iPad itself is a natural learning device,” says Sesh Kumar, CEO Emantras, “It offers students the ability to explore content in a non-linear fashion, which is how the learning process works. Mobl21 also follows this dynamic learning method, making it an ideal fit to work with the iPad. And unlike other educational products, Mobl21 is not limited to a specific grade or subject but can be flexibly adapted to any learning requirement.”
Mobl21 HD lets learners access study material, easily look up new words and terms, watch videos, animation and listen to audio files or podcasts related to any subject. Mobl21 is ideal for studying important lessons and revising items like dates, nomenclature, formulae, equations or even for exam prep.

Mobile Learning – From your hands to theirs
It’s the evening before History finals. And you’re nervous.
All those dates, places, events, people… these days there’s so much information, and who can easily remember the important footnotes of last year, let alone last decade?
You chew your nails and wonder how you’re gonna get any sleep. Then you wonder if you’re being silly. After all it’s just another exam.
The problem is, you’re the teacher.
Mobile Learning – From your hands to theirs
Of course you want your students to give their best. You just need a new way to get them to review the vital points they need, in bite-sized proportions that they can absorb… anytime, anywhere.
MOBL21 can help you do just that. MOBL21 is a simple application that allows educators and learners to quickly create learning material that can then be “pushed” on mobile devices.

MOBL21 puts some ‘wow’ into boring study tasks
Ninth grade English teacher Ashley Wilbur made history at the Howard School of Academics and Technology by becoming the first teacher in the State of Tennessee to employ mobile learning for her English class. Ms. Wilbur first began looking for learning alternatives when she realized her students had the same English texts they had used the previous year.
“I told them to close the books,” said Ms. Wilbur, “and began to look for ways to engage the students with the iPods. It was difficult to find content and know just how to get it to students in the beginning, however.”
Working in partnership with Emantras and Hamilton County Virtual School, Ms. Wilbur now uses an application called MOBL21, which enables teachers to deliver study guides, quizzes, flash cards, video and audio content to students via Apple mobile devices or any computer via the web.
“Today’s students carry the web in their pocket,” observed HCVS Coordinator Debi Crabtree, “and it is crazy not to utilize such an opportunity to push out short quizzes that can be used for formative assessments, flash cards to reinforce the major concepts of a unit of study, or guides that can be accessed anywhere, anytime to help students prepare for a test or project.”
MOBL21 provides a framework within which content can be easily created by students or teachers, extending the learning opportunity beyond traditional barriers. As a result, teachers are able to use mobile technology to complement formal courses, and make learning assets easily available to users and groups through desktop, social platforms, and iPhone / iPod Touch.
“I have created study guides for students to use to prepare for the English 9, End of Course state exam,” said Ms. Wilbur, “putting some ‘wow’ into what might otherwise be a difficult and boring task for the students.”
