CyprusThe overarching conference theme is 'mLearning and Design for Social Change and Innovation'. Higher education institutions are called upon to provide for the competencies and skills that foster design for social change and innovation. In addition, knowledge and skills alliances are encouraged by funding bodies to cultivate, share and disseminate competencies that foster social entrepreneurship and innovation. However, little is known on how mlearning can facilitate this process, how it can contribute towards social change, innovation and entrepreneurship.
The topics of interest can go beyond the conference theme, and can include any of the following:
- mLearning as a tool that fosters social change and social entrepreneurship
- From pilot projects to mainstream implementation: strategies for the deployment of mLearning
- Mobile technology for teaching and learning support
- Design and development of learning material for mLearning
- Informal and lifelong learning with the aid of mobile technologies
- Building and implementing mLearning strategies in educational institutions, companies and public sector organisations
- Computer tablets
- Future trends in mLearning technology, including the impact of emerging technologies
- Location-aware technologies
- Augmented reality
- Ambient intelligence and ubiquitous learning
