Abstract:
The chapters of this e-book
comprise the pedagogical and
research endeavours of a team of
academics in higher education
who worked with mobile learning
devices over two years on a project
entitled New Technologies: New
Pedagogies project: Using mobile
technologies to develop new ways
of teaching and learning. The
project endeavoured to take an
innovative approach not only in
the creation of new, authentic
pedagogies for mobile devices but
also in the action learning
approach adopted for the
professional development of
participants. The project involved
15 people including teachers, IT
and PD personnel. It was a large
and ambitious project that resulted
not only in a range of innovative
pedagogies, but in the creation of
more knowledgeable and confident
users of mobile technologies
among teachers and students.
