A Theory of Learning for the Mobile Age
Course 2: A Theory of Learning for the Mobile Age (Mike Sharples, University of Nottingham)
The main goals of this course is to provide a definition and/or the main features of mobile learning and to propose a theory of learning for a mobile society which encompasses both learning supported by mobile devices and learning in mobility.
• Criteria for a theory of mobile learning
• Learning as conversation
• Learning and context
• The dialectical relationship between learning and technology
• Education in the mobile age
The main idea is to provide an overview of mobile learning before going in depth on different aspects.
