10 Background to the Conference Session and discussions: MicroLearning & Mobile Ecology Learning for the Knowledge Society Welcome to MicroLearning 5.0 the 5th international conference on MicroLearning, Mobile Knowledge and Mobile Learning. About participants and speakers from Europe, North America, and Asia are expected. Welcome to an interactive Conference, because MicroLearning is a different kind of meeting: it is an Unconference. It is about personal meetings and sustainable Exchange, blending the different perspectives of technologists & academics, visionaries & entrepreneurs, practitioners & corporate professionals. Welcome to the knowledge revolution in mobile applications. There are three times as many mobile devices and Smartphones as there are internet PCs. From 2013 on, mobile usage will overtake the fixed line for internet access & usage. Small devices are well-suited for small content and vice versa. Micro-content based learning applications can be considered an innovative leap forward. Personalization and collaboration can be done with existing technical know how and are genuine enablers for mobile learning. Information and knowledge are changing, here and now and also tomorrow. Knowledge transformation... for mobile usage is the challenge. How can we build up knowledge for easy use, quick comprehension and sustained memory? What is MicroLearning? 1. Free learned knowledge from school MicroLearning assumes that people have to learn much more than what they have time. Life is not like school with fixed times and hours. Why? There is just too little time when one is working or busy and too much content. MicroLearning offers an answer. Break down content into small unites and use time flexibly. 2. Employ MicroContent technology as help MicroLearning uses technology to support the learners, so that they can learn regularly and step by step. Static macrostructures will be resolved, and learning can be done in between. Along with Mobile Learning, Rapid Learning or Workflow-integrated Learning emerge as new forms and also challenges for teachers, trainers and learners in formal and informal contexts. 3. MicroLearning as a didactical concept»integrated MicroLearning«is a special didactical concept developed by the Research Studio Austria FG and its Innsbruck Research Studio to make learning easier, use the frequent changing of activities and employ MicroContent as a foundation for knowledge building and management. This concept has lead us to develop the MicroLearning application called Knowledge Pulse ( MicroLearning is discussing the consequences and solutions for corporate training, educational institutions and lifelong learning. We look forward to meeting you in Innsbruck!
