1. Aims

The database aims to

• provide opportunities for the systematic gathering of practice,

• distribute knowledge which was gained within such projects in order to make practice less ephemeral,

• enable synergies,• contribute to sustainability in teaching, learning and

research, as well as• enhance replicability of mobile learning projects.

2. Theoretical background: Mobile learning as socio-cultural ecology

Theoretical and conceptual framework of mobile learning:• educational uses of mobile devices, • viewed in ecological terms,• as part of cultural and pedagogical contexts in transformation.

The socio-cultural ecology considers different components:• the learners’ agency, appropriation and cultural practices,• their everyday lives and school contexts,• structures and cultural resources as potential links• between different system components.

All for the benefit of learners.
