Call for Manuscripts: work-based mobile learning: concepts and cases

Mobile phones were identified in the Horizon Report (2009) as the technologies with the highest likelihood of entry into the mainstream learning … Issues surrounding mobile learning in work-based contexts have only been marginally covered to date despite the potentially huge impact of mobile technologies on supporting work-based learning activities.

Against the background of an increasingly mobile workforce, technological innovations and a changing corporate learning landscape, the central question of this book will be how mobile devices can be used to support work-based learning … The aim is to provide innovative approaches of how mobile devices can encourage work-based learning activities. Contributions can relate to placements as part of education courses, to (semi-formal) on-the job training provided within organisations or to the manifold forms of informal and incidental learning experiences at the work place.

The first deadline for expression of interest is 27 April 2009.
