The New Landscape of Mobile Learning

by Charles Miller (Editor), Aaron Doering (Editor)

The New Landscape of Mobile Learning is the first book to provide a research based overview of the largely untapped array of potential tools that m-Learning offers educators and students in face-to-face, hybrid, and distance education. This cutting edge guide provides:

An essential explanation of the emergence and role of Apps in education

Design guidelines for educational Apps

Case studies and student narratives from across the US describing successful App integration into both K-12 and Higher Education

Robust, research-based evaluation criteria for educational Apps

Although many believe that Apps have the potential to create opportunities for transformative mobile education, a disparity currently exists between the individuals responsible for creating Apps (i.e. developers who often have little to no instructional experience) and the ultimate consumers in the classroom (i.e. K-20 educators and students). The New Landscape of Mobile Learning bridges this gap by illuminating critical design, integration, and evaluation narratives from leaders in the instructional design, distance education, and mobile learning fields.

[Stephen Victor · Rating 3 out of 5]

A bit mistitled, since it's all about apps for iOS, a most limited perspective indeed--unless you're in academia, in which case it's probably your only perspective. Wouldn't recommend for anyone interested learning more about mobile learning.
