“…The formalized context involves students' engagement confined to classrooms such as introductory programming courses (Qusay et al 2008) and mobile game development (Kurkovsky, 2009). The socialized context for mobile learning in computing education manifests itself through students' collaborations on networks such as mobile blogging (Laine et al 2008) and mobile social learning environments ).…”

The majority of the existing research regarding mobile learning in computing education has primarily focused on studying the effectiveness of, and in some cases reporting about, implemented mobile learning solutions. However, it is equally important to explore development and application perspectives on the integration of mobile learning into computing education and identify practical implications for learning and teaching practices. In this study, the authors performed a systematic review of scientific publications related to mobile learning in computing education. After identifying relevant publications, they analysed them from three main aspects: technology and development, design of mobile learning solutions and applications, and implications for learning. The authors' study reveals that mobile learning in computing education has the potential to increase several affective traits of learners. In addition, mobile learning in computing education has matured enough to be mainly concerned with the mainstreaming of the computing curriculum rather than basic research.

“…Teaching and learning innovations are best implemented when informed by learning theory (Ally, 2004(Ally, , 2008Mishra, et al, 2007). A review of the literature (Cobcroft, 2006;Koszalka & Ntloedibe-Kuswani, 2010;Laine & Suhonen, 2008;Naismith, Lonsdale, Vavoula, & Sharples, 2004;Wingkvist & Ericsson, 2009) indicates that the field of mlearning educational research is relatively young and theoretical framework development has been hampered by the rapid changes in mobile technologies:…”

Web 2.0 tools provide a wide variety of collaboration and communication tools that can be appropriated within education to facilitate student-generated learning contexts and sharing student-generated content as key elements of social constructivist learning environments or Pedagogy 2.0. “Social software allows students to participate in distributed research communities that extend spatially beyond their classroom and school, temporally beyond a particular class session or term, and technologically beyond the tools and resources that the school makes available to the students.” (Mejias, 2006, p1). This paper illustrates this by describing and evaluating the impact of the introduction of web 2.0 and mlearning to facilitate student eportfolios within the context of a first year Bachelor of Design and Visual Arts course in New Zealand (Unitec). Core web 2.0 (social software) tools used in establishing students’ web 2.0 eportfolios included: Vox, Qik, Picasaweb, Prezi, Google Docs, and YouTube. The participating lecturers and the technology steward also used these web 2.0 tools to collaborate on the design of the project. The paper reflects upon the impact of the participants’ previous web 2.0 experience and the use of these tools to facilitate student-generated content and at the same time to act as catalysts for pedagogical change. The project is evaluated as an action research cycle within a framework of longitudinal action research investigating the impact of mobile web 2.0 on higher education from 2006 to the present.

“…ViSCoS Mobile thread focuses on developing mobile learning solutions (Laine et al 2006). Two prototypical applications have been developed in the ViSCoS Mobile thread: a mobile blog environment and a tool for compiling and running Java programs via a mobile phone (Laine and Suhonen 2008). Finally, development of the ViSCoS Intermediate Studies commenced in 2008 with the goal of extending the study programme to include additional studies.…”

Formative development method (FODEM) is a multithreaded design approach that was originated to support the design and development of various types of educational technology innovations, such as learning tools, and online study programmes. The threaded and agile structure of the approach provides flexibility to the design process. Intensive stakeholder feedback is a vital aspect of FODEM. As a formative method that emphasizes research-orientation and evaluation through the entire development process, this article proposes that FODEM is fundamentally also a research and development method. FODEM provides tools to conceptualize the development process via its distinguishing feature, namely a dynamic thread structure. FODEM can be used to manage, analyse and visualise the overall design process at different stages. FODEM can also be used to create different conceptulisations of a design process in order to identify successes and failures.
