Mobile Learning

<p><em>Mobile Learning: The Next Generation</em> documents the most innovative projects in context-aware mobile learning in order to develop a richer theoretical understanding of learning in modern mobile-connected societies. Context-aware mobile learning takes advantage of cell phone, mobile, and pervasive personal technologies to design learning experiences that exploit the richness of both indoor and outdoor environments. These technologies detect a learner’s presence in a particular place, the learner’s history in that place or in relation to other people and objects nearby, and adapt learning experiences accordingly, enabling and encouraging learners to use personal and social technologies to capture aspects of the environment as learning resources, and to share their reactions to them.</p> <p>Chapter 1: Introduction to the Next Generation of Mobile Learning by John Traxler & Agnes Kukulska-Hulme</p><p>Chapter 2: Technologies and Applications for Context-aware Mobile Learning by David Metcalf and Angela Hamilton</p><p>Chapter 3: Integrating Mobile Technologies in the Italian Educational Context by Marco Arrigo, Giovanni Fulantelli, Manuel Gentile, and Davide Taibi</p><p>Chapter 4: Mobile Informal Learning through Geocaching by Gill Clough</p><p>Chapter 5: Learning-through-Touring: A Methodology for Mobilising Learners by Juliet Sprake</p><p>Chapter 6: Technology Integration in Next Generation Mobile Learning by Teemu H.
