Students use their phones to access reading materials, communicate with educators, conduct research and access learning management systems (LSMs). Learners report writing assignments and essays directly on their smartphone, suggesting the device can replace PCs, laptops and tablets in many contexts.<\/span><\/p><p>So, what is the potential for using smartphones to aid online teaching as part of distance learning?<\/p><h2><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>What You Should Know About Smartphones<\/strong><\/span><\/h2><p>Smartphones, even the most affordable, offer a wonderland of features and functionality. Of interest to online educators and learners are:<\/p><ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Enhanced capacity:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Increased storage capacity allows learners to download and store materials to access offline later, while improved speed facilitates responsiveness, especially when participating online during live classes.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Generous display:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Smartphones offer wide screens to enhance the visibility of detailed content and enable easy scrolling, navigation, and interaction with the content (such as editing and sharing).<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>High-quality camera:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> While a camera is commonly associated with leisure activities, a camera feature allows more significant interaction in learner assignments and tasks, especially for practical learning, feedback and assessment. These days, even more affordable, mid-range smartphones provide good quality cameras and video.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Security:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> A smartphone is more secure than a desktop computer (which is especially prone to phishing attacks that encourage users to install software on their computer).\u00a0 smartphones have built-in encrypted file systems, password access, and facial or fingerprint access for added security.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Optimized connectivity:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> When no cellular connection is available, smartphones allow Wi-Fi access to maximize class attendance, facilitate 24\/7 and remote access to learning materials, and allow learners to complete assignments on the go.<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Familiarity: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Emerging generations show a preference for mobile phones for various activities, including communication, content consumption, and online shopping. Intuitively then, it makes sense to incorporate the device into learning and work strategies.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/li><\/ul><p><br \/>Smartphones are more than capable of performing several vital functions required for virtual teaching and learning.

They can of course opt out of joining the audio to avoid echo. This gives you the ability to poll <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">all<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> students in your class to engage them in the discussions and review content.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Viewing a recording<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: After the class is over, all students can view the recording on their smartphone anytime, making it easy to catch up and review material you covered in the class. By navigating through the recording they can divide recording into \u2018bite-sized\u2019 chunks to make recalling and learning information easier and more manageable for their schedule.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Students can join from anywhere<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: With a smartphone, remote students can join your class from anywhere &#8212; the bus, train, park, coffee shop, etc &#8212; so they never miss a class.&nbsp; BigBlueButton will optimize the number of webcams visible on mobile devices and show the webcam for the most recent talker. BigBlueButton will also indicate to you which users are coming in from a mobile device as well (you\u2019ll see the word \u2018mobile\u2019 under their name in the User\u2019s list).<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>For mobile students, all features are available as on the desktop version except for mobile screen sharing: mobile users can still see the instructor\u2019s screen, but not share their mobile screen.)<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s likely that every student has a smartphone, and thus every student has the ability to participate and collaborate in your online classes. Students have more flexibility to participate in your class, and you have the ability to engage with students wherever they may be located.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d4e6842 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"d4e6842\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" src=\"https:\/\/bigbluebutton.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/pexels-katerina-holmes-5905510.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-11648\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bigbluebutton.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/pexels-katerina-holmes-5905510.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/bigbluebutton.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/pexels-katerina-holmes-5905510-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/bigbluebutton.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/pexels-katerina-holmes-5905510-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/bigbluebutton.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/pexels-katerina-holmes-5905510-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/bigbluebutton.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/pexels-katerina-holmes-5905510-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section data-particle_enable=\"false\" data-particle-mobile-disabled=\"false\" class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-c030590 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"c030590\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-66f2116\" data-id=\"66f2116\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a46a140 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"a46a140\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">About BigBlueButton \n\n<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2196dfc elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"2196dfc\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p dir=\"ltr\">BigBlueButton is an education-specific, open-source virtual classroom that is natively integrated by over 75% of the world&#8217;s learning management systems including\u00a0Moodle, Canvas, Sakai, D2L, Jenzabar, and Schoology.<\/p><p dir=\"ltr\">BigBlueButton focuses on empowering teachers to engage remote students for effective online learning.
