MyKnowledgeMap to launch brand new Multi Port Mobile at this year's Association for Learning Technology Conference
Learning technology specialist MyKnowledgeMap is ready to launch a new system for managing learning. Multi-Port Mobile will be previewed at ALT-C, with MyKnowledgeMap sponsoring a pre-conference event to showcase the system's features.


    /United Kingdom News Articles/ - North Yorkshire, UK, September 05, 2008 - The theme of ALT-C 2008 is 'Re-thinking the Digital Divide', and MyKnowledgeMap will be exhibiting at the main conference along with twenty seven other businesses. Founded in 2000, MyKnowledgeMap develops web-based software and knowledge systems to support learning and training across the educational, public and private sectors.

Multi Port Mobile has already been recognised for its innovative use of modern technology, winning the prestigious Techworld award for Mobility Project of the Year. Piloted by the ALPS project (Assessment and Learning in Practice Settings), it is being used by tutors to manage the learning, assessment, and development of Health and Social Care students on work based practice. Each student in the project has been given a mobile device from which they can access a personal learning space. Using Multi Port Mobile they have been able to build up e-portfolios which provide evidence of the skills and competencies they have gained during their work experience.

Rob Arnsten, CEO of MyKnowledgeMap explains why Multi-Port Mobile has been such a good fit for the ALPS users: "Developing competence and confidence in a practice setting is vital for students training for a career in health and social care because there is a wide range of general and specific skills that can only be developed in the clinic, hospital or workplace. Accessing learning systems between dealing with patients matters most to these people and that's where mobile technologies come in."

The pre-conference e vent being held on the 8th September will include a demonstration of the system in action. Attendees will learn more about the technology involved and will have the opportunity to use the mobile devices themselves.
