iPhone Stamp for UI/UX Sketching

/ Andrew

When starting mobile UX projects, I often found myself using my ATM card to draw out rectangles to represent a smartphone screen. I came across a post on The Russians Used a Pencil for an iPhone stamp to help with UI/UX sketching. I used the file to have a rubber stamp made locally about $38 and $15 for a stamp pad. The stamp outline is made to fit Field Notes or larger sketchbook. You can download the image file below and had a high quality stamp made locally in Toronto at Unique pages – www.uniquepages.ca

Rethinking Mobile Learning & the Promise of Flying Cars

/ Andrew

Presented at Penn State Web Conference 2014

Mobile technology innovation and growth have outpaced and outgrown our current teaching ideals and delivery methodologies at all levels of education. We are entering into a perfect storm for m-learning. Instead of top-down transmitting models, we could engage learners with collaborative models that are already in place via text messaging, and crowd sourcing that are available via social networks. We could encourage anywhere, anytime learning through instant access to information and more satisfying inquiry for teachers and learners. What is lacking in online learning delivery is the integration of mobile for content, access to course content and creating situated learning. The future of learning opportunities lies in context-aware ubiquitous learning, leveraging peer-to-peer, personalization, and multimedia interaction. Digital is the old way of thinking. Mobile is the new way – the way we think today.
