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.

Project Leader: Bernadette Simpson Institution: Ericsson Title: The Impact of New Technologies on Distance Learning Students This is a reference material project on the impact of new technology on distance learning students. The extant literature of the impact of technology on learning is fragile and inconclusive. This was the view of the World Bank in March 2005 (Impact of ICTs on learning and achievement). In the UK in January 2004 Cox et al (A review of the research literature relating to ICT and achievement) reach the same conclusion. In the USA in 2005 similar findings come from the University of California at Santa Barbara. A detailed search of the literature shows that what research there is is nearly all on the impact of technology on children in schools. There is little or nothing on adult education, on lifelong learning or on distance learning. This is the focus of this new proposal. ...
