Abstract
"Mobile learning is a relatively new phenomenon and the theoretical basis is
currently under development. The paper presents a pedagogical perspective of
mobile learning which highlights three central features of mobile learning:
authenticity, collaboration and personalisation, embedded in the unique time-space contexts of mobile learning. A pedagogical framework was developed and
tested through activities in two mobile learning projects located in teacher
education communities: Mobagogy, a project in which faculty staff in an
Australian university developed understanding of mobile learning; and The Bird
in the Hand Project, which explored the use of smartphones by student teachers
and their mentors in the United Kingdom. The framework is used to critique the
pedagogy in a selection of reported mobile learning scenarios, enabling an
assessment of mobile activities and pedagogical approaches, and consideration of
their contributions to learning from a socio-cultural perspective"
