“…Although mobile devices are highly flexible, accessible and convenient, users are still facing great problems in rendering and navigating web contents on mobile devices. Most of the present websites are developed for desktop users only and they are not mobile friendly (Martin, Pastore, & Snider, 2012;Roudaki, Kong, & Yu, 2015). They are poorly suited for mobile devices, making the web content look visually unpleasant and hard to navigate (Adipat, Zhang, & Zhou, 2011;Fernandes et al, 2014).…”

This paper reviews major issues of mobile technology and mobile web usage among university students, including characteristics, importance and problems faced by university students when accessing web sites through mobile devices. This article also reviews the technology adoption models/theories that will best explain the adoption of IT/IS. The author identified Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) as the best model in explaining adoption of mobile web because TAM is the most suitable in explaining behavioural intention in the context of mobile devices. Mobile Web is the World Wide Web which is accessed through a mobile device such as laptop computer, smart phone or tablet. It establishes the entirety of the Internet and is not limited to webpages which have been specifically designed to be viewed through mobile devices. Distinctive features of mobile technology especially mobile web technology and its progressive impacts on information transfer and learning process has created many educational opportunities for higher education institutions. Although mobile devices are highly flexible, accessible and convenient, students are still facing great problems when they use mobile web for educational purpose.

Mobile learning (mlearning) has been emerging as an innovation with incredible potential to transform the educational practice. However, limited research has focused on how mlearning has been investigated in the context of language teaching and learning around the world. This paper presents a survey on the educational scenario that pervades the teaching and learning English as a second or foreign language mediated by technology. This study conducted an analysis of publications (N=18) involving mlearning in the context of teaching or learning English as a foreign or second language and published from 2010 to March 2019. The aims were to verify in what perspective mlearning has been investigated in the context of teaching and/or learning a foreign or second language, what critical success factors (CSFs) have influenced the implementation of mlearning and identify possible gaps of study that need to be fulfilled in future researches. The results indicate that: i) mlearning has been most investigated in the tertiary educational level, ii) the learners` perspective has been the focus of most publications, iii) English is the target language in all studies, and iv) the dominant topic concerning this theme is mlearning technologies, apps and uses. In addition, the findings also report that 19 CSFs were pointed out in 14 publications and assimilation of curriculum (50%) was the most cited CSF. Moreover, the results indicate that there has been a recent increase of interest in mlearning related to foreign language teaching and learning. Further topics of investigation concerning mlearning in language education are suggested.

“…Despite this high -and increasing -demand for resources, the production and use of medical, nursing and allied health textbooks and their relevance to actual health care practice has rarely been investigated. In the absence of such enquiry, there is however a groundswell of support for texts that offer more possibility for student interaction (McKinsey 2009, GSMA 2011, Martin et al 2012) and also, importantly, provide access to the lived experience of the health/illness concept addressed in such volumes (Charon 2006, Griner 2012). The days of such tomes as the well-known 'Gray's Anatomy' 1 and other texts that aim to cover all content in a discipline are all but over.…”

Off the shelf and into practice: creatively repackaging popular memoirs as educational resources in health disciplines

This article reports on a learning design project that encourages the creative (re)use of popular literature as educational materials by bringing together scholars and insights from diverse disciplines to engage learners and build the human(ising) skills needed in health professions. A capable health professional is one who has technical competence, interpersonal and critical thinking skills. They need to be able to understand and cope with complexity and ambiguity, human diversity, and the reality that people differ in the factors that assist them to become ready for change and stay well. Critics of the direction that health education has taken to prepare graduates indicate that there is a preference for technical skill development, whilst overlooking craft knowledge. Students still need to learn bio-technological knowledge, but they also need to understand the multiple social, cultural, and environmental contexts that can impact on a person's journey of change in health. The project reported in this paper outlines a novel process of engagement in case-based learning. Particular illness memoirs have been selected, and important plot lines within the stories extracted to depict variations of a person's health journey. A book club process, familiar to most people as a fun way to engage in multiple readings and perceptions about the merit of a text, is the medium through which these excerpts are discussed. Thus, the materials act as triggers, not solely for inquiry, but for the development of empathy and undestanding of different contexts, which are then aligned to clinical strategies assisting students to develop technical skills and interpersonal abilities.
