Although mobile learning has different meanings for different communities, we know that learning is enriched when students are presented with multiple paths through course content. Mobile technology not only enables students to take their learning with them beyond the classroom – anywhere, at any time – but also makes possible a new array of interactions in the classroom. Precisely because of its fluidity and independence from physical boundaries, mobile learning offers the potential to enhance all types of instruction: face-to-face, blended, and online. The goal of this session is to reassess the potential of mobile technologies and identify new ways in which they can contribute to the learning experience. Join us for an online interactive session facilitated by EDUCAUSE, where we will work with teams across the country to

• Develop an understanding of mobile learning and its diverse application to all learning environments: face-to-face, blended, and online
• Explore various tools, devices, and instructional methodologies that support mobile learning
• Create a framework for the design of meaningful and purposeful mobile learning activities
• Reflect on the potential for mobile learning to promote critical thinking, student engagement, and success
• Consider assessment strategies for mobile learning activities
