This timely introduction to the emerging field of mobile learning explains the technologies involved, their applications and the multiple effects on pedagogical and social practice. Mobile devices include handheld computers, smartphones and PDAs, and this handbook will emphasize the issues of usability; accessibility; evaluation; and effectiveness; drawing from case studies written by researchers and practitioners, all experts in the field. This is a cutting-edge subject in open and flexible learning, with e-learning a key issue in the UK Government's strategy to increase the number of people going in to higher education. Yet in spite of discussions at a number of e-learning conferences, very little has been published on it. The first of its kind, this handbook will be of great interest to professionals in higher and further education, and will also appeal to trainers in the business sector wanting to find out about the opportunities offered by these new technologies.

Industry Reviews

'There is a wealth of experience reported in the form of eight overview chapters and twelve case studies, and no significant prior knowledge of mobile technologies is assumed. It is therefore highly suitable as an introduction to the topic and will prove useful to any practitioners contemplating the feasibility and possibilities of mobile devices in learning and teaching.' - Peter Brophy, www.ics.heacademy.co.uk

'Provides a useful snapshot of the state of the art in mobile learning in early 2005...There is much food for thought here.' - British Journal of Educational Technology

'This book can be recommended to educators and trainers developing or using mobile learning. Most of the materials in the contextual chapters (and useful glossary) will endure, and the case studies provide a useful and interesting snapshot of some of the projects undertaken by mobile learning pioneers and early adopters. Whilst the technologies used in future mobile learning initiatives may differ from those used in the projects reported in the book, some of the issues faced may be similar, particularly those relating to human and organisational factors, and it is helpful that we can learn from the experiences of others.' - ESCalate, Higher Education Academy
