The ALMS Project: Mobile Technology for the Instruction of Music Technology This paper details the design and development of new resources for the instruction of Music Technology to tertiary music students made possible by recent developments in mobile technologies. It focuses primarily on interactive and media-rich content delivered by Audio Literacy for Music Students, a novel mobile app (iOS and Android OS) augmented with other interactive teaching materials. In addition to the introduction of these resources, the paper details common pedagogical difficulties instructors face when teaching technology to music majors and how these issues inform the pedagogical, user-interface and user-experience design of the app and supporting materials. Design flaws in a previous desktop application conveying the same content are discussed with an emphasis of design elements critical to its pedagogical effectiveness.
