"Learning with mobile technologies is an emerging field with a developing research agenda and many questions surrounding the suitability of traditional research methods to investigate and evaluate the new learning experiences associated with mobility and support for increasingly informal learning. This book sets out the issues and requirements for mobile learning research, and presents recent efforts to specify appropriate theoretical frameworks, research methods and tools. Through their accounts of particular mobile learning projects, leading researchers in the field present their experiences and approaches to key aspects of mobile learning research such as data capture and analysis, and offer structured guidance and suggestions on adopting and extending these approaches."

The term has been bandied about for years now. Mobile learning, aka m-learning, seems to be on everyone's lips but few people's mobile devices. Learning Circuits's associate editor Eva Kaplan-Leiserson talks to two of the field's foremost experts to sort the reality from the hype. What's currently working in m-learning, and why? What's been stopping its widespread adoption? And what's necessary to make it more pervasive?

The Future of Learning Group explores how new technologies can enable new ways of thinking, learning, and designing. The group creates new "tools to think with" and explores how these tools can help bring about change in real-world settings, such as schools, museums, and under-served communities.

"DMLcentral.net is the online presence for the Digital Media and Learning Research Hub located at the system-wide University of California Humanities Research Institute and hosted at the UC Irvine campus. We think digital media practices are fundamentally reshaping society in far-reaching ways, especially in how people all around the world are learning and connecting with one another."

"Futurelab is passionate about transforming the way people learn. Tapping into the huge potential offered by digital and other technologies, we develop innovative resources and practices that support new approaches to learning for the 21st century."

""Self-organised learning in the interactive Web" - A change in learning culture?"

"Abstract: In our rapidly changing technological society, formal training alone cannot meet the need for development of working individuals. Self-directed learning is seen as a solution for adult learners to keep up with these changes."

Abstract: The application of computer-generated imagery in live-video streams on mobile devices, as a way to expand the real-world, is finally available for the masses on an affordable basis. Augmented and mixed-reality scenarios are now a common fixture of our technology arsenal of methods to acquire information about our surroundings. This emergence of augmented reality (AR) also has great potential to support individual and group learning. I will share thoughts and experiences on how AR will change the way we view and experience learning in a situated context."

How can today's schools be transformed so as to become environments of teaching and learning that makes individuals lifelong learners and prepare them for the 21st Century?

"The aim of this foresight activity is to contribute to this vision building process by providing a range of imaginative visions on the key components of creative and innovative learning in Europe in 2020 (also labeled Learning Spaces in 2020)."

The mission of The Joan Ganz Cooney Center is to catalyze and support research, innovation and investment in digital media technologies to advance children's learning.

"Workshop 'Technology-enhanced learning in the context of technological, societal and cultural transformation' November 30 to December 1 in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Bavaria"

The Horizon Project, as the centerpiece of NMC's Emerging Technologies Initiative, charts the landscape of emerging technologies for teaching, learning and creative expression and produces the NMC's annual Horizon Report. Since the launch of the Horizon Project in March 2002, the NMC has held an ongoing series of conversations and dialogs with hundreds of technology professionals, campus technologists, faculty leaders from colleges and universities, and representatives of leading corporations.
