As part of our 2012 focus on mobile learning, we welcome Steve Wheeler from the University of Plymouth to describe the latest developments in mobile learning.

Steve Wheeler is a Web 2.0 researcher, author of The Digital Classroom, and an international speaker with an active interest in mobile learning. Ownership of smart mobile devices on the rise, and in this session Steve will consider:

• the use of these technologies for different learning contexts,
• the potential of social media and informal learning,
• issues of integrating the use of smart devices into mainstream teaching practices,
• features which are on the horizon such as augmented reality and wearable computing.

There is an opportunity to meet for lunch at 12:00 with others interested in mobile learning. If you’d like to attend lunch and stay on for the webinar at 13:00, please book.
Feel free to bring phones, etc., along for participation.

If you aren’t able to attend in person, you can also join us online at 13:00.
