Mobility in Physical Space
Submissions under this topic should critically
explore the implications of learner mobility in
physical space in relation to how the physical space
may contribute to the learner’s acquisition of new
knowledge, skills, and experience. Physical spaces
may include, amongst others, formal and informal
learning settings, work place, home and recreational
environments.
Mobility in Conceptual Space
Under this topic we seek contributions that will
investigate the notion of learner mobility in
conceptual space. Conceptual spaces may include,
amongst others, domain specific content, curriculum
based content, recreational content and content
generated by personal interests.
Mobility in Social Space
We invite submissions under this topic that examine
learner mobility in social space. Social spaces may
include, amongst others, formal and informal
learning situations, professional, family, and
recreational interactions.
Mobility of Technology
Under this topic we request contributions that will
investigate mobility of technology from the
perspective of the learner. We seek submissions that
examine how learners transition and alternate from
one tool to another or from one device to another in
order to perform tasks. Transitions may be
determined by numerous factors such as access to
technology and resources or suitability of the
technology in relation to the task at hand.
Interplay between Different Dimensions of
Mobility
We invite submissions under this topic that examine
the interplay of two or more dimensions of mobility.
We are keen on exploring how the added complexity of
transition between dimensions of mobility, for
example from social space to conceptual space or
from social space to the mobility of technology
space, influences learning processes.
Additional Dimensions of Mobility
Under this topic we seek contributions that propose
additional dimensions of learner mobility and that
examine how these dimensions contribute to learners’
acquisition of new knowledge, skills and
experiences.
Contributions under all of the above topics may
include, but are not limited to, the investigation
of areas such as:
-
How do the different conceptualisations of learner
mobility contribute to current definitions of
mobile learning?
-
Designing learning experiences, tools, and
technologies that support learner mobility in
spaces (for example
mobility from one physical space to another or
from one conceptual space to the next), and
between
dimensions of mobility (for example from social
space to conceptual space or from social space to
the mobility of technology space).
-
Educational pedagogies and approaches that support
learner mobility in spaces and between dimensions
of
mobility.
-
Learner mobility in spaces and between dimensions
of mobility as a learning context.
-
Studies that report on experiences of learner
mobility in spaces and between dimensions of
mobility.
-
Research methodologies to evaluate learner
mobility in spaces and between dimensions of
mobility
-
Technologies and tools to facilitate learner
mobility in spaces and between dimensions of
mobility.
