M-learning
Learning with mobile device
• cheap mobile devices, one each
• connecting the classroom
• museums (Hsi, 2002; Londsdale et al., 2004; Chen, Kao, Sheu & Chiang, 2002)
• field trips (Chen et al., 2003)
• just in time learning (language, etc.)
Mobilearn
Learning in school - learning outside school• School as a factory for teaching
• flicker, twitter, mobile phone, ipod, iphone, youtube, digital camera, laptops, etc
• relation between school and work, as well as school and society at large. (Wellington, 2005).
Research and development bias
• Research on learning is school biased (Lave, 1996)
• Research on learning in schools is teacher biased
• Limited insights on how we, in general, and students in particular learn and know with everyday tools.
Limited work on:
• mobile life and everyday learning
• supporting work integrated learning in mobile work
• learning to use mobile devices
• learning with mobile devices IN education OUTSIDE of planned educational activities
Students digitalizing higher education
Personal mobile tools

“Old” questions E & M -learning
• Basic view that educators digitalize education
• Should we involve mobile IT?
• How to design mobile IT for pedagogical purposes?
• How to employ mobile IT as a pedagogical tool?
Students’ digitalization
• Mobile phones
• Laptops, 1-to-1
• Web-based platforms, ubiquitous access
• Open software, freeware, digital books, version management, etc
• Ubiquitous access to educational media
Some “new” questions
• Mobile ITs effect on education as a practice. The teacher as a topic authority. New tools transforming old roles.
• We learning in school supported by teachers vs. We learn everywhere supported by technology - questioning how we understand education.
• Lifelong learning, Mobile technology as a way for connecting educational activities and work practice. Questioning the idea of learn first do later?
• Students’ mobile IT, technical and pedagogical integration.
Some more open questions
• There is always something better to see, and now everyone can distribute as well as consume it from their mobile devices.
• When always available, when do we stop being teacher and when do we stop being students?
• When to disconnect? When to not be a user?
• Mashups not only as a way of concstruting services but also as a metaphore for organizing learning.
