This book provides faculty and instructors with an introductory
guide to integrating mobile learning in their courses. Recognizing
that a smartphone is the first and main piece of technology anyone
owns, with ownership exceeding 95% for those aged 18-29, with a
sizable minority of these being smartphone-dependent; and that
instructors are relying on technology for teaching and learning
more than ever; this book addresses the imperative that course
materials and interactions be increasingly available through the
technology that students use most often. Dispelling the notion that
mobile learning is for the tech-savvy and adventurous,
mobile-mindful teaching offers teachers a way to take a few
steps at a time, share options with students, and progressively
develop ideas and practices. The book invites you to explore your
own way into mobile learning. Christina Moore stresses two
principles as you engage with mobile learning--intention and
fluidity. This begins with mindfully implementing mobile learning
opportunities so that students see the usefulness of learning via
phone; and recognizing the fluid learning environments in which
students learn so you can offer online modalities and functions
appropriate to purpose and situations. The book opens with a
“start with self” section on How to Be a Mobile Mindful
Learner, offering ideas on exploring the almost infinite available
online resources in your discipline to curate a rich and
ever-expanding compilation of ideas for use in your scholarly work
and teaching; and identifying different types of learning (digital
reading, audio and visual learning, and social learning) across
multiple devices and contexts to consider as you develop your
course. The section “Toward Mobile-Mindful Teaching” explores
ways to add mobile options to existing learning materials and how
they and the LMS functions you use are rendered on a phone by
taking a mobile test drive through your course. Christina Moore
shows how, by building up your mobile learning skills to be a more
productive scholar and developing habits that feed your curiosity
and creativity, you can start planning how you can create fluid
learning opportunities for your students they can access across
devices, time, and space, and take advantage of found moments of
time and informal spaces.

Simon Temple knew when he met Laura Marshall in the third grade
that he would love her forever-though it wasn't until middle school
that she finally admitted she felt the same way about him. College
and career plans parted them for nearly a decade, but when Simon
returned to Gracechurch to join the fire department there, it was
not long before he and Laura were reunited. For both, it was as
though they'd never been apart, and an engagement soon followed.
Then Laura shocked the entire town when she suddenly called off the
wedding two weeks before they were set to walk down the aisle. No
amount of pleading on his part got an answer Simon could live with,
and so he was left to pine away for a woman whom he had loved for a
lifetime, but who apparently no longer wanted him. Out of the blue,
Laura is drawn into a police case being investigated by Simon's
detective brother, and his protective instincts come roaring to the
surface. Will the connection between an abandoned infant and a
series of threatening phone calls be discovered before the truth
finally comes out, or will Laura take her secrets to her grave?
Wilhelmina "Billie" Ryan was a Marine Corps sniper with SpecOps
training. When her six-year tour of duty came to an end she was
recruited by the CIA, where she applied her knowledge of warfare
tactics to the shadowy world of international espionage. But not
even a tough as nails former soldier-turned-spy known as the
She-Devil was immune to heartbreak: A gangbanger's bullet took the
life of her fiance in a drive-by shooting where someone else was
the target, and she was so devastated by the loss that she
ran-leaving behind her job, her friends, and even her family. A
year later, CIA agent John Courtney is tasked with finding Billie
and bringing her home. Three members of her former Force Recon unit
have gone missing, and she's quite possibly the only person who can
find them. When he does locate her, she's living under an assumed
name and tending bar on the beach with an old nemesis from her own
days as an agent...and before he can explain why he's there, the
two are forced to flee for their lives when the Russian mafia makes
it known that they're after Billie too. Back home, Billie struggles
to reconnect with her family on top of finding out what really
happened to her former teammates. She and John are also fighting
the attraction growing between them, which he is more than willing
to pursue but for which she's not even sure she's ready. Giving in
to her burgeoning feelings for her fellow spy means taking the risk
of getting hurt again, not to mention she doesn't believe she's
fully over her grief for the man she loved and lost. Matters are
further complicated when it seems a high-ranking Pentagon official
is not being entirely truthful, and may in fact be involved in
something highly illegal. Hired guns and a mystery with no leads
make for one hell of a welcome home. When painful memories threaten
to cripple her ability to keep a clear head, will Billie remember
her strength in time to save the lives of everyone she loves-as
well as her own?
Shapeshifter Juliette Singleton left her home to escape the
oppressive concern of her family ... and the memory of being raped.
She finds little solace, however, as her sleep is plagued with
nightmares, forcing her to re-live the brutal assault over and over
again. Race Covington, a chimaera, thought he was the only one of
his kind. Then he reunited with Juliette, whom he had known as a
child, and discovered to his delight that he was not alone after
all -- and the both of them discovered that they were destined to
be together. Meeting her mate leads Juliette to open up about the
attack and begin the healing process, while Race believes meeting
his means it is definitely time to escape the employ of a dangerous
and vindictive vampire. They decide it is time to start their lives
over again -- together -- but going home proves to be harder than
they expected when they are forced to confront a dangerous foe
neither could have ever imagined.
Firefighter Chris Paytah has been in the business of battling
flames for nearly two decades, but nothing he's faced could have
prepared him for the worst thing he could have ever imagined:
losing the man that taught him everything he knows. Now he's got to
find a way to pick up the pieces, as well as take up the reins as
captain of a new fire station in Calvin's place. Martie Liotta is
the arson investigator assigned by the Montana Bureau of Fire
Safety to investigate the fire that led to a 30-year veteran's
death. She's hoping that she'll find evidence tying the fire to a
shady businessman who happens to be the owner of the burned-out
building - and is already suspected of insurance fraud. She's
completely unprepared to find herself instantly attracted to Chris,
or for the passion that ignites between them to burn so hot. While
the two of them work to discover the cause of the fire, they're
also navigating the precarious terrain of their new relationship.
But someone with a more than passing interest in the beautiful
Martie causes her to doubt her judgment, leading her to make a
terrible decision that drives Chris away in anger. Can he overcome
the hurt in time to save her and an innocent woman from suffering
at the hands of a madman with a dangerous obsession?
Saphrona Caldwell is a 233-year-old human-vampire hybrid who
maintains a quiet existence in the strangest of places: on a farm,
where she raises chickens and breeds horses, pigs, and dairy cows.
A far cry from the life of Gothic glamour she once lived, she has
all but walked away entirely from the world into which she was
born. Her life is forever changed when she meets Mark Singleton, an
immortal human whose blood is powerfully alluring and even narcotic
to vampires. Though pleased to know her destined bondmate at last,
Saphrona's happiness is complicated by a request to find someone
who doesn't actually exist, Mark's shape-shifting half-sister, and
the danger posed by an individual who is not above committing
arson, kidnapping, and murder.
