THE 2012 - Mobile Learning: Challenges and Opportunities
Mobile computing has created new potentials for delivering content, promoting student engagement, and introducing efficiencies to campus operations. Changes induced by the technology are characterized by the proliferation of mobile devices on the network, expectations of ubiquitous availability of learning resources anywhere and anytime, and nomadic work/study style. The models of teaching, learning and its support are under stress and we need to understand the challenges, and opportunities related to mobility. These are some of the questions that THE 2012 will address:

• What are the impacts of mobile computing on the learning technology landscape?
