* Conference background and goals
Big issues in Mobile Learning: An International Perspective
In June 2006, under the auspice of the Kaleidoscope Network of
Excellence Mobile Learning Initiative, European researchers convened
for the Big Issues in Mobile Learning Workshop. The Workshop aimed to
provide a forum for reflecting on the issues that have triggered the
staggering growth in mobile learning and for identifying what are the
big challenges facing mobile learning.

An outcome of the workshop is the Big Issues in Mobile Learning Report
which indicates that mobile learning is concerned with "a society on
the move". It is learning across contexts rather than just learning
with portable devices. The report points to the need to move away from
'porting' existing activities into mobile devices, to design with
evaluation in mind, to consider the complexity of the dialectic
relationship between learner & technology, to explore new conditions &
ways of learning supported by mobile technology, to investigate
innovation in a social context and to consider the tensions between
mobile technology and learning in schools, among others (Sharples,
2006).
The IADIS Mobile Learning 2007 International Conference seeks to
provide a forum for the presentation and discussion of mobile learning
research. In particular, but not exclusively, we aim to enrich the Big
Issues in Mobile Learning debate with an international perspective and
with empirical research that will further contribute to forge
understanding of the Big Issues in Mobile Learning.
