Research Focus and New Papers: mobility and the distribution of agency in assemblages of connectivity
In between terms seems like a natural enough time to pause for a bit and refine my research focus for the next few years. I have been writing chapters and papers (hence my lack of writing here) largely around speculative topics and have enjoyed that quite a bit. The topics are seemingly disparate but they […]
Surfacing Local Practice, Placelessness, And Digital Education
This was originally posted at Panoply Digital. I try to let my ICT4D work feed into my academic work and vice versa and this is a case where my research is directly informed by my work at Panoply. I am part of the Centre for Research in Digital Education at the University of Edinburgh and […]
Slides from recent Networked Learning Conference presentation in Zagreb
I am currently basking in the light of a Dalmatian coastal city and thought I should post these slides lest I forget. I recently presented at the Networked Learning Conference in Zagreb, Croatia and it was stimulating. The full papers can be found here, (and mine here) but I posted my abstract below the presentation. […]
Mobile Learning in Distributed Universities: Summary of recent Festival of Creative Learning Event
James Lamb and I recently ran a Festival of Creative Learning workshop at the University of Edinburgh, largely a showcase event for what is possible with mobile learning. We developed it loosely as running parallel to the Near Future Teaching project, so the project was largely future oriented, an attempt to push past ideas around […]
Future of Learning at the University of Edinburgh (and speaking engagements): Near Future Teaching, distributed and mobile universities, and ICT4D/SMS projects
Bouncing around a bit over the next few weeks/months with speaking engagements, conferences, seminars, or otherwise. All of them are in some way or another about learning futures and all touch on my research interests in one way or another. I will write longer posts providing full slidedecks and some notes, but for now I […]
The Mobile Campus: Imagining The Future of Distributed Education at the University of Edinburgh
James Lamb and I, both of the Centre for Research in Digital Education, are hosting a mobile learning event as part of the Festival of Creative Learning at the University of Edinburgh. James has written an excellent post exploring the parameters of what we are trying to do so my post is really just about […]
#mLearning in Bremen: takeaways from a recent field activity
James Lamb and I, both of the Centre for Research in Digital Education at the University of Edinburgh recently completed a mobile learning activity as part of the 3rd Bremen Conference on Multimodality in Germany. We had about 20 participants for this activity, which involved an attempt to activate seminal literature into some sort of […]
