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."
The Mobile Research Conference is the first industry event entirely dedicated to mobile surveys, connecting scientific research and best corporate practice.
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 ML4D initiative aims to engender a design-level discussion among practitioners in the field, in order to inform them of the challenges and potential solutions, and to facilitate rapid spread of critical design knowledge.
"The Rendez-Vous is a series of independent but collocated workshops broaching Technology-Enhanced Learning with a special focus on "Orchestration", "Connecting Learners" and "Contextualisation"."
"Workshop 'Technology-enhanced learning in the context of technological, societal and cultural transformation'
November 30 to December 1 in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Bavaria"
"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."
