This article proposes appropriation as the key for recognition of mobile devices — well artefacts accessed through, and produced with them cultural resources across different practices use, in everyday life formal education. The analyses interrelationship users structures, agency of, relation to what authors call “mobile complex”. Two examples are presented some curricular options assimilation into settings learning discussed. Also, a typology is that serves an explanatory, analytical frame...

The purpose of this paper is to begin examine how the intersection mobile learning and design research prompts reconceptualization individually as well their integration appropriate for current, complex environments.

Mobile devices are increasingly being used to support learning in work contexts. In exploring the emerging field of work-based mobile (WBML), researchers need give consideration theoretical and empirical findings from learning. this paper, authors provide an overview key issues dominant debates these fields with aim providing a systematic introduction for interested use This paper’s focus is aimed at scoping possible commonalities across order establish baseline future conceptual research...

This article argues that mobile phones should be viewed as new cultural resources operate within an individualized, and convergent mass communication; such a recognition facilitates the options for ecology.

The authors expand their argument, first, by discussing devices theoretically from perspective position what they call triangular-oriented complex; second, means this...

Very little is known, however, about relationship between competence development more loosely framed, day-to-day practices such as doctor–doctor consultations, although interactions are frequent typical work. METHODS To address this gap literature, a study was conducted using semi-structured interviews four different hospitals participant observation at one...
