| Mobile Learning:
Structures, Agency, Practices (2007-2009)
Authors: Norbert Pachler, Ben Bachmair and John Cook, with
contributions from Gunther Kress, Judith Seipold, Elisabetta Adami and
Klaus Rummler
Publisher: Springer. ISBN: 978-1-4419-0584-0
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 title is due February 2010.

Work-based mobile
learning: concepts and cases. A handbook for evidence based practice (2009-2010)
Editors: Norbert Pachler, Christoph Pimmer and Judith Seipold
Publisher: Peter Lang
Against the background of an increasingly mobile workforce, technological
innovations and a changing corporate learning landscape, the central question
of this book will be how mobile devices can be used to support work-based
learning.

| MyMobile - Education
on the move. Responsive learning contexts in European Adult Education
(2010-2012)
In collaboration with partners from Germany (medien+bildung.com),
Italy (Facoltà di Scienze della Formazione, Università degli
Studi di Firenze) and Belgium (Media Animation asbl).
The aim of the partnership is to cultivate exchange on existing approaches
and methods in mobile learning and mutually to develop overall guidelines
for mobile learning in adult education within the context of lifelong
learning. These general principles will be applied and tested in diverse
learning scenarios. Upon conclusion of the project, practical guidelines
for multipliers will be available, showing how mobile learning scenarios
and methods can be integrated into adult education and further developed.
These will enable multipliers to employ the mobile phone as a learning
tool, a didactic method, and a field of pedagogical endeavour in their
work with, e.g., migrants, multigenerational houses, seniors, media education
support schemes (which are of growing significance for all types of educational
institutions), in integration work with socially marginalized groups,
in museum programmes, etc. |

In collaboration with medien+bildung.com
Mit „taschenfunk“ hat medien+bildung.com vor allem die kreativen
Möglichkeiten des Handys in der Schule erprobt, mit „MyMobile“
hält das Handy Einzug im Fachunterricht. Das Projekt MyMobile sieht
vor, dass der Einsatz von Handys im Unterricht im Schuljahr 2009/2010
an sechs verschiedenen Schulen erprobt und evaluiert wird. (Source: http://medienundbildung.com/index.php?id=531)

"And don't forget
to bring your mobile" - Informing educational target groups about mobile
learning opportunities (2008-2010)
Supporter: WLE Centre, IoE, London.
Project holder: Judith Seipold
The project focuses on the dissemination of concepts and projects for
mobile learning conducted inside and outside school, with the aim to provide
support for educational professionals and stakeholders through website,
online-databases and publications, and thus to support 'at-risk learners'
in successful and sustainable learning.

Mobile Medienbildung
- Mobile Education: Educational potentials of mobile technology for adolescent
'at-risk learners' (2007-2010)
PhD thesis: Klaus Rummler, University of Kassel, Germany
The focus is on the 'At-risk learners'' use of mobile technology and the
implications for media education in the perspective of Cultural Studies.
Central questions are e.g. What are the patterns of mobile media usage
of male adolescents from low socio-economic segments, What are the 'at-risk
learners' specific strategies of successful meaning-making with mobile
technology outside school. |

Learning with mobile
media. Professionalisation of theories, structures, agencies and cultural
practices at the interface between formal and informal learning (2007-2010)
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. |

A Design Toolkit
for Emerging Learning Landscapes Supported by Ubiquitous Computing
Ph.D. Thesis, Daniel Spikol, Linnaeus University, Växjö,
Sweden
Almost twenty years ago, Kaput (1992) argued that the limitations of computer
use in the coming decades are likely to be less a result of technological
limitations than a result of limited human imagination and the constraints
of old habits and social structures. Therefore, it can be argued that
different approaches need to be explored to promote innovate educational
practices and this thesis will argue for design as this catalyst. The
aim of this thesis is to explore how different design approaches can be
used to guide emerging learning landscapes supported by ubiquitous computing.
The empirical work presented in this dissertation is based on the activities
and outcomes from three projects that include informal and formal games
for education, inquiry based science learning, and mathematics learning
activities. The analysis of these projects is discussed and the different
design approaches used in each one of the efforts are compared in order
to see their advantages and drawbacks. From this analysis, the most salient
design factors and approaches are identified in order to provide the foundations
of a design toolkit. |

MoLeaP - The mobile
learning project database is a public and free-of-charge online database
for teachers, researchers and other (education) professionals interested
in learning and teaching with mobile media. The concept behind MoLeaP
builds on LMLG's research on mobile learning. MoLeaP is part of the project
"And don't forget to bring your mobile" - Informing educational target
groups about mobile learning opportunities.

The literature database
of the London Mobile Learning Group (LMLG) contains a vast range of references
with a wider relevance to mobile learning. Besides the almost 400 references
that were cited in the book 'Mobile Learning: Structures, Agency, Practices'
(Springer, 2010) this resource contains approximately 1400 additional
references.
