Description & Coverage
Description:

Rapid advancements in technology are creating new opportunities for educators to enhance their classroom techniques with digital learning resources. Once used solely outside of the classroom, smartphones, tablets, and e-readers are becoming common in many school settings.

Advancing Higher Education with Mobile Learning Technologies: Cases, Trends, and Inquiry-Based Methods examines the implementation and success of mobile digital learning tools. With the inclusion of data on specific learning environments enhanced by ubiquitous educational technologies, this publication emphasizes the benefits of exploration and discovery in and out of the classroom. This book is an essential reference source for academicians, professionals, education researchers, school administrators, faculty, technology staff, and upper-level students interested in understanding the future of higher education.

Coverage:

The many academic areas covered in this publication include, but are not limited to:

  • Constructivist Classroom
  • Global Learning
  • Online Learning
  • Pedagogical Frameworks
  • Social Communications
  • Social Media
  • Teacher Development
Reviews & Statements

Education researchers who study and professionals who apply mobile technologies in educational settings share paradigms, perspectives, challenges, and effective models. They also assess the effectiveness of mobile technologies in 21st-century classrooms and the constructivist or inquiry-based learning environment. Among the topics are a guide for department chairs on developing faculty to use mobile learning technologies in college classes, using mobile technology for student teaching observations of special education candidates, a case study of mobile technologies in higher education pedagogy in Africa, promoting strategic reading using the iBooks author application, and integrating mobile technologies in multi-cultural multi-lingual multi-media projects.

An excellent resource to be introduced to m-Learning literature. The theoretical, pedagogical, and practical frameworks it presents empower the content and are not elusive to the reader. It stands out as a tremendously useful guide not only for teachers, but also for students in collegiate classes and/or master’s programs. I highly recommend this book.
