EUROPEAN WORKSHOP ON MOBILE AND CONTEXTUAL LEARNING.
June 20th and 21st, University of Birmingham, UK
In collaboration with the European M-Learning Forum.
The workshop is for researchers and practitioners in industry and education
with an interest in developing new approaches to mobile and contextual
learning. This includes the design of new technology and software for mobile
learning, as well as research and development in technology-supported
informal and lifelong learning. A central aim of the workshop is to broaden
the horizons of mobile learning, to explore possibilities for experiential
learning, personal learning projects, on the job learning, and just-in-time
learning. It will also provide a showcase for new learning technologies and
solutions, including wearable learning devices, learning organisers, and
multimedia content delivery to handheld devices.
The University of Birmingham is a pioneer of research into mobile learning
and wearable technology (see http://www.eee.bham.ac.uk/handler

<http://www.eee.bham.ac.uk/wear-it> ). The workshop venue is equipped with
an IEEE 80211b wireless LAN system, multimedia presentation, and ISDN and IP
videoconferencing facilities.
The workshop will run from mid-day June 20th to mid-day June 21st, including
buffet lunches and a dinner on the evening of June 20th. Conference
accommodation will be available at the University.
