Paper Abstract:
|
Over the last four or five years there have been a variety of mobile learning pilots and projects exploring the possibilities
of using handheld computers, mobile phones, personal media players and games consoles to deliver, support and enhance
learning, assessment, guidance and administration. These developments are often driven by pedagogic necessity,
technological innovation or funding opportunity and work within relatively narrow educational and social discourses.
This is potentially problematic since it potential ignores the ways in which mobile devices and technologies are
transforming society quite profoundly, creating new forms of art, business, crime and artifact and challenging existing
ideas of identity, community and discourse, and consequently challenges accepted notions of education, learning and
knowledge. These changes are the wider environment of the technological and pedagogical components of mobile
learning. |
