Preparing for Mobile Learning

Studies, reports, and predictions all agree that 2010 is the year of the mobile device: a year in which smartphones, e-readers, slates, and netbooks move from being novelties to being ubiquitous. What are the implications for learning? Is the anywhere, anytime nature of these devices driving us toward incremental or transformative changes? How can we design support programs at our campuses that will enable faculty and students to take advantage of the opportunities that mobile devices present? In this workshop, we will explore the question of incremental and transformative change and work collaboratively to begin to design support strategies for this new dimension of the campus learning environment.
