PhD thesis: Judith Seipold, University of Kassel, Germany

The work analytically engages in the development of the mobile learning discourse in Great Britain and Germany, with a particular focus on mobile learning practice in schools. Multimedia and multimodal structures, the learners' agencies, and transformation processes which are settled at the interface between formal school learning and informal learning in everyday life will be considered in order to highligt the professional development of learners in objective school contexts on the basis of individualised and situated meaning making.
