Conference announcement
and call for papers "Mobile learning:
Crossing boundaries in convergent environments" Conference
Monday to Tuesday, March
21st to 22nd, 2011 in Bremen, Germany
Submission
deadline: January 7, 2010 The conference is hosted
by the University of Bremen, run by the Department for Media
Education and Design of Multimodal Learning Environments and by
the
Institute Technology and Education (ITB) in association with the
London Mobile Learning Group (LMLG), Pontydysgu and MirandaNet.
The 'Mobile learning:
Crossing boundaries in convergent environments' Conference builds
on
a series of mobile learning research symposia hosted by the WLE
Centre for Excellence at the Institute of Education, University of
London between 2007 and 2009. It will focus on the challenges of
developing new pedagogic approaches and on the potential of mobile
devices for learning in formal and informal contexts. As mobile
learning is not only about learning with mobile technologies, but
also considered to be "new" learning, the conference will
look at challenges for research and practice in understanding the
changing social and technological structures allowing the use of
technology for learning that are present in our personal lives, in
school and in work places. Thus mobile learning crosses the
boundary
of institutional learning and looks at practical fields like
work-based learning and medicine, too. Also, the conference will
look
at the latest developments in hardware and software which can
support
personalised learning. By focusing on theory and practice,
development and use, teaching and learning, formal and informal
contexts, the conference intends to offer spaces for researchers,
practitioners, developers, the industry and policy makers to
exchange
ideas, experiences and research around issues and approaches to
mobile learning, including sociological and educational issues and
their effectiveness and desirability as learning spaces as well as
the design of environments.
The conference is preceded
by the EduCamp, a BarCamp for people interested in media and
learning, which will take place in Bremen from March 19-20, 2011.
In
collaboration with MirandaNet, the conference is running a
MirandaMod
on March 21-22, 2011 which addresses teachers and practitioners
who
are interested in teaching and learning with new technologies.
Pontydysgu will broadcast their live internet radio show "Sounds
of
the Bazaar LIVE Radio Programme" from the conference. The
call for papers

EUR (students and unemployed are free)
