Table Of ContentMOBILE LEARNING AND HIGHER EDUCATION
Mobile Learning and Higher Education provides case studies of mobile learning in higher
education settings to showcase how devices can transform learning at the undergraduate and
graduate levels. With the rapid diffusion of networked technologies among the adult populations of
many countries and the supersession of the once-ubiquitous lecture approach with active learner-
centered teaching for deep understanding, mobile devices are increasingly used in higher education
classrooms to offer unique and effective new approaches to teaching and learning. A cutting-edge
research volume, this collection also provides a springboard for building better practices in higher
education institutions.
Helen Crompton is Assistant Professor of Instructional Technology in the Department of Teaching
and Learning at Old Dominion University, USA.
John Traxler is Professor of Mobile Learning and Director of the Institute of Education at the
University of Wolverhampton, UK.
