Paper Abstract:	This paper explores the potential and challenges of collaborative mobile learning as a foundation for participatory curriculum development based on preliminary findings from a pilot phase of the iCollaborate project, which is an international collaboration project between university students and lecturers in four different countries. The project builds upon a heutagogical approach to m-learning integration (Cochrane & Rhodes, 2011) and serendipitous learning in social media (Buchem, 2011). The iCollaborate project incorporates international collaboration between groups of students in Germany (sociology of technology students in Berlin), Spain (educational technology students in Tarragona), UK (design students in Sheffield and Salford) and New Zealand (architecture students in Auckland) where participating lecturers have established partnerships aimed at exploring the potential of integration of collaborative m-learning in higher education. The focus of the project is on pedagogical strategies for cross-boundary, collaborative uses of mobile web for learning through the development of personal learning networks and user generated content. The paper reflects upon the potential and challenges related to international collaboration based on the application of mobile web 2.0 tools.
