[ecrea] Call for Papers: M-Learning special edition of International Journal of Innovation and Leadership in the Teaching of Humanities

*Volume 2: M-Learning for Tertiary Education*

*Guest Editor: David Robison (University of Bradford, UK)*

IJILTH invites papers addressing the connections between mLearning 
(learning with the aid of mobile phones, portable computers, ubiquitous 
location-based services etc.) and tertiary education, with special 
attention to the field of Humanities.

MLearning is becoming a vibrant strand of e-learning, but it is not 
contained within this field, drawing as it does on numerous disciplines 
for an understanding of location-based social contexts. Following from 
the use and impact of ICTs in general and portable technologies in 
particular, and in close connection with its disciplinary neighbours 
like CALL, CMC or Distance Learning, mLearning offers challenges to 
conventional teaching-and-learning practices.

MLearning is becoming a fundamental area for future developments of 
learning autonomy and independence. Although other topics may be 
considered, we welcome paper proposals dealing with, but not being 
limited to, issues such as the following:

1. Theorizing mobile learning within tertiary education.

2. Mobile learning and its disciplinary neighbours.

3. Mobile learning and its potential for blended learning programmes.

4. Portable technologies and their integration within conventional 
face-to-face tuition practices.

5. Mobile learning devices and virtual platform.

6. The potential of portable technologies for the teaching and learning 
of 'culture'.

Please send your full papers (including a short abstract and keywords) 
to submission(@)ijilth.mobilearn.es before 15th October 2011. If 
accepted, we will require the definitive version of your paper before 
15th of November.

(We'd also be happy to discuss an abstract with you in advance.)

Best wishes,


Dave
