Researching Mobile Learning
This title sets out the issues and requirements for mobile learning research and presents recent efforts to specify appropriate theoretical frameworks, research methods and tools. Leading researchers in the field present their experiences and approaches to key aspects of mobile learning research such as data capture and analysis.
Mobile Learning
As with television and computers before it, today’s mobile technology challenges educators to respond and ensure their work is relevant to students. What’s changed is that this portable, cross-contextual way of engaging with the world is driving a more proactive approach to learning on the part of young people. The first full-length authored treatment of the relationship between the centrality of technological development in daily life and its potential as a means of education, Mobile Learning charts the rapid emergence of new forms of mass communication and their potential for gathering, shaping, and analyzing information, studying their transformative capability and learning potential ...
Ubiquitous Learning
This collection seeks to define the emerging field of "ubiquitous learning," an educational paradigm made possible in part by the omnipresence of digital media, supporting new modes of knowledge creation, communication, and access. As new media empower practically anyone to produce and disseminate knowledge, learning can now occur at any time and any place. The essays in this volume present key concepts, contextual factors, and current practices in this new field. Contributors are Simon J. Appleford, Patrick Berry, Jack Brighton, Bertram C. Bruce, Amber Buck, Nicholas C. Burbules, Orville Vernon Burton, Timothy Cash, Bill Cope, Alan Craig, Lisa Bouillion Diaz, Elizabeth M. Delacruz, Steve Do...
Digital Technologies and the Museum Experience
The biggest trend in museum exhibit design today is the creative incorporation of technology. Digital Technologies and the Museum Experience: Handheld Guides and Other Media explores the potential of mobile technologies (cell phones, digital cameras, MP3 players, PDAs) for visitor interaction and learning in museums, drawing on established practice to identify guidelines for future implementations.
Advances in Informatics
This volume contains a subset of the papers presented at the 10th Panhellenic Conference in Informatics (PCI 2005), which took place at the City of Volos, Greece, during November 11–13, 2005. After an international call for papers, 252 full papers were submitted. The number of the submitted papers constitutes a record number for the conf- ence and reveals its growing dynamics. The authors represented universities and institutes from the following countries: Algeria, Bulgaria, China, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Finland, Greece, The Netherlands, Hungary, Italy, Japan, Korea, The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Lebanon, Lithuania, Malaysia, Poland, Romania, Spain, Taiwan, Turkey, Ukraine, UK, and USA.

Refining Current Practices in Mobile and Blended Learning: New Applications
This volume draws together all the articles published by the International Journal of Mobile and Blended Learning in its second year of publication (2010). As the use of mobile technology for personal and business applications continues to grow, it naturally follows that educators and researchers will investigate the use of mobile devices for knowledge sharing and learning. Refining Current Practices in Mobile and Blended Learning: New Applications provides perspectives on new approaches to learning theory and practice in increasingly mobile, immersive environments. Situated at the intersection of theory and practice, this book provides foundational research on the development and implementation of mobile games, the delivery of mobile and blended learning, and philosophical underpinnings of this emerging discipline.
Foreign Language Education and its Cross-Curricular Links
This volume focuses on a variety of aspects of foreign language learning and teaching. From a theoretical perspective, it explores the multidimensional character of language classes and delineates ways of developing students’ knowledge and skills, according to current educational conceptions and postulates. The book is divided into four parts, dealing with such notions as foreign language teaching and learning, ICT in foreign language didactics, intercultural components of language education, and CLIL in the contemporary language class. It will be useful to individuals who find the issue of foreign language teaching and learning, and its cross-curricular character, interesting.
Introductions to ijCSCL
The interdisciplinary field of Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning (CSCL) explores ways of making learning more engaging, stimulating, and effective by promoting collaboration among learners through the use of computer networking, simulations, and computational support. This volume reproduces the editorial introductions to the International Journal of Computer-Supported Collaborative Learning (ijCSCL) since its beginning in 2006. The introductions situate the articles in each quarterly issue within current CSCL research activity and highlight the unique perspectives and important contributions of the included papers. The introductions also present reflections on topics of CSCL theory and methodology, providing concise contributions of their own. Written in different styles, the introductions as an ensemble provide a lively, stimulating introduction to the CSCL research field as it has grown over the years.
Technology-Enhanced Learning
Technology-enhanced learning is a timely topic, the importance of which is recognized by educational researchers, practitioners, software designers, and policy makers. This volume presents and discusses current trends and issues in technology-enhanced learning from a European research and development perspective. This multifaceted and multidisciplinary topic is considered from four different viewpoints, each of which constitutes a separate section in the book. The sections include general as well as domain-specific principles of learning that have been found to play a significant role in technology-enhanced environments, ways to shape the environment to optimize learners’ interactions and ...
