You are invited to participate and to present your work at Mobile Learning: Gulf Perspectives,
a research symposium on Thursday 25 April 2013 at Zayed University’s Abu Dhabi
campus.
The goals of the symposium are to provide a forum for
research on mobile learning and teaching in all subject areas in Gulf universities and colleges, and
to stimulate research in the region. The
symposium will include plenary talks, interactive presentations and a panel
discussion on iPad use, BYOD and other
aspects of mobile learning. It will also
include workshops by leading local and international researchers, in which
participants will discuss how to apply insights from the symposium to their own
work in a Gulf context, and how to gather their own data for possible future
publication.
The symposium is organized by ZU’s Center for Educational Innovation in
collaboration with the Office of
Research, and is linked to the refereed online journal Learning and Teaching in Higher Education: Gulf
Perspectives (LTHE), published by ZU Press.
You are invited to submit a proposal for an interactive
presentation in the symposium. The
interactive presentations will take place in an open space during the
symposium, and should present data and insights related to mobile learning with
Gulf university/college students, using visual and other media to engage
participants in discussion. This may be
done for example through poster presentations
or interactive presentations on screen.
We particularly encourage presentations which allow participants to
interact with the presented materials using mobile technologies (for example via
QR codes or augmented reality).
If you would like to propose an interactive presentation,
please send your proposal to Dr. David Palfreyman (email address below), including:
* The title of your presentation
* The proposed medium for the
presentation (see possible ideas above)
* An abstract (150 words max) outlining
(a) the context in which you carried out your work (where, when, why, how, with
whom), (b) the data you will present and (c) key insights arising from this
data.
The deadline for interactive presentation proposals is 28
February 2013. Selected presenters will
be informed by 7 March; their registration fees will be waived and they will be
invited to write up their presentation for publication in a special issue of LTHE.
Registration will open soon.
To keep informed of further details, please check the symposium website regularly, register as a
reader with LTHE and/or follow LTHEgulf
