There can be no doubt that mobile technologies are here to stay.
Global mobile traffic grew 74 percent in 2015 alone, with 563
million devices and connections added -- most of them tablets and
Smartphones. This growth has been 4000-fold in the past 10 years
and 400 million-fold in the past 15 years (Cisco, 2016). Mobile
technologies permeate the lives of 21st century citizens as
mainstays of organizational and institutional day-to-day
operations, commerce, and communication and as tools used to
support individuals' personal, social, and career responsibilities.
In both the corporate and educational worlds, e- and m-learning and
marketing with mobile technologies are moving forward at breakneck
speed with, in many cases, a blurring of traditional sector
boundaries. As neither the technology nor the uses are static,
exploring practices and policies that underpin this quickly
shifting mobile technology context is crucial for ensuring its
intelligent, purposeful, and equitable use. This edited book
provides a venue for researchers to share their work on mobile
learning with a focus on uses for mobiles in informal settings and
PK-20 classrooms, language learning, mobile gaming, leadership and
policy issues, and what mobile learning in the future may be. It
assists researchers and educators to consider and answer questions
such as: What is "mobilelearning" today? How can mobiles be used to
enable learning? How is mobile learning crossing or connecting
economic, social, and/or cultural sectors? How do specific cultural
practices with media influence mobile learning (e.g., youth
practices, educator practices, parent practices, community
practices)? What are policy and leadership implications in
supporting mobile learning? What policies, practices, and/or
pedagogical approaches are necessary to move forward with mobiles
in schools or universities? In what ways is mobile learning
impacting education; including how students learn and teachers
teach? What will/ should/might mobile learning look like in the
future?
