- We design a mobile learning activity with the aim of supporting inquiry-based learning and analyze it to understand how students interact with mobile devices. For analysis we use a model of contextual human-technology interaction, which is an expansion of an older model by Buxton (1995). Our research question is: How can student interaction in a mobile learning activity be described in the model of contextual human-technology interaction? We approach this question by analyzing an eight minute long video clip of a group of three students using mobile devices for calculating the distribution of trees in a forest area. We categorize the results in six different ways of interacting with technology according to the model. The analysis shows how the model of contextual human-technology interaction can be used for describing placement of technology in mobile learning activities when students are mobile in and between contexts relevant for their learning goals.

- This conceptual paper describes challenges in the field of Interactive Media and Learning (IML), striving towards a research and teaching field for mobile learning. The theoretical background is provided and arguments are listed, specifically what challenges researchers, practitioners (e.g., teachers, employers, employees) and designers face today on the way to mobile learning. This will be done from an educational perspective, in particular from Educational Technology from a Scandinavian community. The leading issue is how to educate the Homo Interneticus? Is learning supported by mobile devices one option? Is there a need to rethink the learning spaces of today? The paper provides answers by illustrating challenges in research and teaching with regard to mobile learning.

A theoretical grounding of learning mathematics in authentic real-world contexts supported by mobile technology
- 2012

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- The problems associated with de-contextualized learning are prominently accentuated in abstract and strongly formalized educational subjects such as mathematics. As means to overcome these problems, the research domain of mathematics education has repeatedly called for situated, embodied and multimodal ways of learning. Interestingly, with the emergence of mobile learning, and through the affordances of mobile technology, opportunities are offered to extend the education of mathematics to authentic contexts for these kinds of learning practices. In this paper we give an account of theories on situated learning/cognition, multimodality, and embodied learning, and present four empirical studies on mobile mathematical learning characterized according to these theories. The paper contributes with a theoretical grounding for mobile mathematical learning.
