EDITORIAL: Ideas in mobile learning

Cook, John; Mor, Yishay; Santos, Patricia

Abstract

The contributions for this Special Collection on ‘Ideas in Mobile Learning’ expand on the trends explored in the successful ‘Bristol Ideas in Mobile Learning Symposium’ which ran on the 6th and 7th March, 2014 (see Cloudworks, 2014; BIML, 2014). Four papers in this Special Issue are expanded versions of presentations at the Bristol Symposium. Taken with the additional papers obtained from an open call we have a timely overview of mobile learning state-of-the-art research.
Contributions offer a combination of conceptual, critical, design, empirical, theoretical and/or experimental work that addresses at least one of the following three phases of mobile learning state-of-the-art research:
(1) Focus on new patterns of connected social learning and work-based practices.
(2) Focus on designing for ‘m-learning’ at scale.
(3) Focus on the boundaries of learning that the ‘m’ in m-learning forces us to explore.
