Preface

While mobile technologies such as mobile phones, personal digital
assistants (PDAs) and digital music players (mp3 players) have
permeated popular culture, they have not found widespread acceptance
as pedagogical tools in higher education.

The purpose of this e-book is to explore the use of mobile devices in
learning in higher education, and to provide examples of good
pedagogy. We are sure that the rich variety of examples of mobile
learning found in this book will provide the reader with the
inspiration to teach their own subjects and courses in ways that
employ mobile devices in authentic and creative ways. This book is
made up of a collection of double blind peer-reviewed chapters written
by participants in the project New technologies, new pedagogies: Using
mobile technologies to develop new ways of teaching and learning.

The book begins with an introductory chapter that describes the
overall project, its aims and methods. The second chapter describes
the professional development process that was used for the teacher
participants involved in the project. This is followed by 10 chapters,
each describing a mobile learning pedagogy that was employed in the
context of a subject area within a Faculty of Education. The final
chapter presents guidelines or design principles for the use of mobile
learning in higher education learning environments.

We wish to acknowledge the support provided for the project on which
this book is based by the Australian Learning and Teaching Council, an
initiative of the Australian Government Department of Education,
Employment and Workplace Relations. This research was also funded by
generous support from the Office of Teaching and Learning at the
University of Wollongong. Jan Herrington, Anthony Herrington, Jessica
