Welcome to the homepage of the Kaleidoscope Mobile Learning SIG

Mobile and contextual learning is a thriving research field. Europe has led the way through the MOBIlearn and Mobile Learning Framework 5 projects and the Kaleidoscope mobile learning initiative. The Mobile Learning SIG offers an opportunity to share new findings and technology, to develop joint methods and initiatives, and to reconceive learning for the mobile age. It will collate an extensive resource of news, documents, projects and provide a forum for researchers with an interest in research into mobile, contextual and ambient learning across Europe and beyond.
