16th World Conference on Mobile and Contextual Learning<\/p>\n

mLearn 2017<\/p>\n

Golden Bay Beach Hotel, Larnaca, Cyprus<\/p>\n

30 October – 1 November, 2017<\/p>\n

\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>In Cooperation with ACM SIGAPP (proceedings in ACM ICPS)<\/span><\/p>\n

The International Association for Mobile Learning (IAmLearn)
\n(www.iamlearn.org<\/a>) is the custodian of the mLearn conference series.
\nmLearn is the leading annual international conference for researchers,
\npolicy makers, educators, developers and solutions providers in the fields
\nof mobile, ubiquitous and contextual learning, as well as learning with
\nemerging ambient and wearable technologies. mLearn attracts a large
\nnumber of participants from more than 60 countries representing all
\ncontinents, and is, therefore, the world’s largest international conference
\non mLearning and emerging ambient technologies.<\/p>\n

Conference Themes<\/p>\n

<\/b>The overarching conference theme is ‘mLearning and Design for Social
\nChange and Innovation<\/i>‘. Higher education institutions are called upon to
\nprovide for the competencies and skills that foster design for social
\nchange and innovation. In addition, knowledge and skills alliances are
\nencouraged by funding bodies to cultivate, share and disseminate
\ncompetencies that foster social entrepreneurship and innovation. However,
\nlittle is known on how mlearning can facilitate this process, how it can
\ncontribute towards social change, innovation and entrepreneurship.<\/p>\n

The topics of interest can go beyond the conference theme, and can
\ninclude any of the following:<\/p>\n

\u00b7 The development, deployment and implementation of mlearning in the
\ncontext of social entrepreneurship, innovation and social change
\n\u00b7 mLearning as a tool that fosters social change and social entrepreneurship
\n\u00b7 Innovations in mlearning theory and pedagogy
\n\u00b7 From pilot projects to mainstream implementation: strategies for the
\ndeployment of mLearning
\n\u00b7 Mobile technology to support open and distance learning
\n\u00b7 Mobile technology for teaching and learning support
\n\u00b7 Assessment techniques and practices in mLearning
\n\u00b7 Design and development of learning material for mLearning
\n\u00b7 Learning objects and metadata for mLearning
\n\u00b7 Informal and lifelong learning with the aid of mobile technologies
\n\u00b7 Challenges for mLearning in developing countries
\n\u00b7 Building and implementing mLearning strategies in educational
\ninstitutions, companies and public sector organisations
\n\u00b7 mLearning management systems (mLMSs)
\n\u00b7 Computer tablets
\n\u00b7 Creating interactive and collaborative mLearning environments
\n\u00b7 Future trends in mLearning technology, including the impact of emerging
\ntechnologies
\n\u00b7 Emerging hardware and software for mLearning including wearable
\ntechnologies
\n\u00b7 Location-aware technologies
\n\u00b7 Contextual and situated learning
\n\u00b7 Augmented reality
\n\u00b7 Serious gaming and simulations
\n\u00b7 Ambient intelligence and ubiquitous learning<\/p>\n

Submission Information<\/p>\n

<\/b>The conference solicits regular papers (no more than 8 pages), short papers
\n(no more than 4 pages), as well as posters (no more than 2 pages). The
\nProgram Committee may require an accepted paper to be adapted into a
\nshort paper or poster. All papers must be prepared according to the
\nACM SIG Proceedings Template format (see the conference web site for
\nfurther information). The papers must be original contributions not submitted
\nor accepted for publication elsewhere. A submitted contribution should
\nclearly indicate the conference topics it targets. For an accepted contribution
\nto be included in the proceedings, at least one author must register and
\npresent the paper at the conference. For further information, see the
\nsubmission guidelines on the conference web site. The conference
\nproceedings will be published by ACM ICPS and archived in the ACM
\nDigital Library.<\/p>\n
