Big issues in Mobile Learning: An International Perspective
In June 2006, under the auspice of the Kaleidoscope Network of Excellence Mobile Learning Initiative, European researchers convened for the Big Issues in Mobile Learning Workshop. The Workshop aimed to provide a forum for reflecting on the issues that have triggered the staggering growth in mobile learning and for identifying what are the big challenges facing mobile learning.
An outcome of the workshop is the Big Issues in Mobile Learning Report which indicates that mobile learning is concerned with "a society on the move". It is learning across contexts rather than just learning with portable devices. The report points to the need to move away from 'porting' existing activities into mobile devices, to design with evaluation in mind, to consider the complexity of the dialectic relationship between learner & technology, to explore new conditions & ways of learning supported by mobile technology, to investigate innovation in a social context and to consider the tensions between mobile technology and learning in schools, among others (Sharples, 2006).
The IADIS Mobile Learning 2007 International Conference seeks to provide a forum for the presentation and discussion of mobile learning research. In particular, but not exclusively, we aim to enrich the Big Issues in Mobile Learning debate with an international perspective and with empirical research that will further contribute to forge understanding of the Big Issues in Mobile Learning.

From 09 July 2007 till 13 July 2007 Location: Marina Beach Marriott Hotel, Los Angeles Building Technology Rich Learning Contexts that Work
The 13th International Conference on Artificial Intelligence in Education (AIED 2007) is in an ongoing series of biennial international conferences for top quality research in cognitive science and intelligent systems for educational computing applications. The conference thus provides opportunities for the cross-fertilization of information and ideas from researchers in the many fields that make up this interdisciplinary research area, including: artificial intelligence, other areas of computer science, cognitive science, education, learning sciences, educational technology, psychology, philosophy, sociology, anthropology, linguistics, and the many domain-specific areas for which AIED systems have been designed and built.
From 15 July 2007 till 22 July 2007 Location: Salt Lake City, USA
In the last few
years we have witnessed an explosive growth of
multimedia computing, ambient intelligent (AmI),
pervasive and ubiquitous computing. The few key
technologies interact in an interesting and yet useful
way, bringing profound impact and revolution. The
revolution is transforming the way people live, work,
and interact with each other, and is impacting the way
business, government services, education, entertainment
and health care are operating.
IMAI 2007 is
the continuous of IMMCN (International Conference on
Intelligent Multimedia Computing and Networking) series
running since the beginning of this century. IMAI 2007
seeks the contribution of high quality papers addressing
various aspects of multimedia and ambient intelligence,
in particular the techniques that lead the merging of
both intelligences, for presentation at the conference
and publication in the
JCIS proceedings.
