In this video, recorded at mLearn 2007, Gavin Cooney, CEO of Learnosity.com, provides a personal demonstration of an application that allows a learner to call in, authenticate themselves, and then verbally respond to various questions. The responses are stored for marking and can be retrieved and even podcast. YouTube link: http://youtube.com/watch?v=F3PkIdF1R04

ยป Using Mobile Phones for Voice-based Assessment Mobile Learning

Now we seem to be getting somewhere here! Thanks to Leonard for this great look into ways in which mobile devices can be used for assessment, using one of the core functions of mobile phones, the VOICE! It brings together the strength of voice communications with situated approaches to learning (and in this case assessment), favouring the connectedness possible between ’student and content’ + ‘content and teacher’ AND time + space!

It’s fairly similar to the trial we blogged about here don’t you think? :o )
