Past

Mobile Learning for Expanding Educational Possibilites Workshop:  Papers and presentations

This workshop was held in Tokyo from 16-20 May 2005. It was organized in collaboration with UNESCO in Bangkok. Several non-government organizations (Academic ADL Co-Lab, APSCC, CPSC, PREL, and the Simputer Trust) and the private sector (Heuristix Lab, HP, IBM, and Microsoft) supported it in addition to ADB and the World Bank. Forty-five participants from 18 countries attended. Through this workshop we were able to document our resource speakers’ presentations that will be published on this web site.

Ericcson Education Conference  2005. Papers and presentations

Today as we face into a wireless future, there is an inevitable movement towards mobile learning, that is, education and training on PDAs (Personal Digital Assistants), palmtops, handheld devices, smartphones and mobile phones. All over the world wireless technologies are taking over from wired technologies. The statistics are stunning: there are now 1.500.000.000 mobile devices in the world; over 50% of all employees spend up to half of their time outside the office; by the end of 2003 more than 525.000.000 web-enabled phones had been shipped; worldwide mobile commerce reached $200 billion in 2004; multi-purpose handheld devices (PDAs and telephone) will outsell laptop and desktop computers combined by 2005. Nearly all higher-education students in Europe use mobiles in their everyday lives. However, these students do not use them for education, a situation that is now being addressed by the Leonardo-funded Mobile Learning project In this project, mobile learning was made available initially on PDAs. This development has now been followed by mobile learning on smartphones. The Opera browser has been adopted and development now takes place in XHTML rather than WML. The result is that dynamic pages with interactivity and much greater interest for the student can be produced. This conference will explore the future of mobile learning.

SUMMER SCHOOLS

CNRS. Mobile learning summer school Brest 2009. Association des Technologies de l’Information pour l’Education et la Formation - Université Paris 6, LIP6

The sixth Summer School on Technology Enhanced Learning is organized by CNRS, in collaboration with the community of the network of excellence Kaleidoscope. It is hosted by Telecom Bretagne, a prestigious graduate engineering school and international research centre in the field of information technologies. The main goal of the summer school is to bring together PhD students with experienced researchers from the techno- logy enhanced learning community about mobile Learning. This topic will be addressed from a cognitive viewpoint (pedagogy, didactic, education, etc.) and a technological viewpoint (computer-based models, architectures, etc.): Educational Practices with Mobile Devices, Pervasive Learning Environments, Adaptive Components and Mobile Architecture, Mobile Interaction, Augmented Reality Semantic Web, Context, Context-Aware Adaptation
