Description

The New Landscape of Mobile Learning is the first book to provide a research-based overview of the largely untapped array of potential tools that m-Learning offers educators and students in face-to-face, hybrid, and distance education. This cutting-edge guide provides:

  • An essential explanation of the emergence and role of Apps in education

  • Design guidelines for educational Apps

  • Case studies and student narratives from across the US describing successful App integration into both K-12 and Higher Education

  • Robust, research-based evaluation criteria for educational Apps

Although many believe that Apps have the potential to create opportunities for transformative mobile education, a disparity currently exists between the individuals responsible for creating Apps (i.e. developers who often have little to no instructional experience) and the ultimate consumers in the classroom (i.e. K-20 educators and students). The New Landscape of Mobile Learning will bridge this gap and illuminate critical design, integration, and evaluation narratives from leaders in the instructional design, distance education, and mobile learning fields.

Part 3: Educational app design and development narratives

Part 4: App integration cases, stories, and research

Part 5: Evaluation criteria for educational apps

Part 6: The not-so-distant future of apps and mobile learning
