smartphones
Students’ POV
● Prof's think we don't pay attention

● They don't even know how to use the coffee maker
● They think we can do only one thing at a time
● They think we don't want to learn

A new teaching + learning experience
● Come up with a common ground
● Use the tools and devices already adopted by the students
● Speak the language and exploit the digital skills they acquired in their everyday life
Students still need to learn!

So, what is Dr. Glearning?
● It is a platform that addresses the need for (higher) educational applications that reach the students
● It provides a flexible framework to create mobile games for a
new teaching+learning experience.
In fewer words:
Mobile games with educational content

And what is NOT Dr. Glearning?
● It is not a substitute for homework, notebooks, lecture(r)s, etc.
○ Although it complements them very well
● It is not a replacement for careful monitoring
○ Even if your students are hard gamers, they still need to
pass the final
● It is not a content platform (WebCT, Moodle, Sakai, etc.)
○ But you still choose the content and deliver it in a different
medium

Why higher education?● Why not?
○ Games have proved successful at other levels of learning (pre-school, primary, etc.)
○ Just browse the application stores
● Students already have a variety of skills that are easy to tap into

What do we mean by flexible?
● Content taught at the university is both specific and
comprehensive
● No app suits all the needs of a given course
● We aim to give professors a versatile tool to build their own
activities with whatever sort and level of content
● Dr. Glearning can still be used for basic education
