About this eBook
Sustainability is a complex but crucial issue in mobile learning as educational institutions are usually required to make substantial investments in mobile devices and associated technologies, time and training to initiate mobile learning programs. The complexity of sustainable mobile learning programs is further exacerbated by the fast pace of change of digital technologies, where with every change, new possibilities are opened up and investments required. In addition, educators are still attempting to reconcile institutions of formal education with informal mobile learning. The book addresses these issues, with a particular focus on:
- exploring the challenges surrounding the sustainability of mobile learning in K-12 and higher education
- investigating the importance of sustaining mobile learning for diverse populations of students globally
- discussing theoretical models for the sustainability of mobile learning
- providing the reader with strategies for sustaining mobile learning.
Presenting new research alongside theoretical models and ideas for practice, the book will appeal to researchers, academics, and postgraduate students in the fields of education and mobile learning, as well as those working in teacher education.
