* Conference background and goals

User Created Content & Mobile Technologies: From Consumers to Creators 
bypassing the Learning opportunity?

Over the pass three years Mobile and Social technologies have featured 
strongly in the Horizon Report series which examines emerging technologies 
likely to have an impact on teaching, learning. Mobile devices have progressed 
from an adoption 
projection of two to three years in 2006, to a much more imminent adoption 
prediction trajectory of a year or less in 2008. 
Whether earlier the educational value of mobile technologies was thought to 
be delivery of content to people’s devices, the emphasis now has clearing 
changed to focus on their capabilities that enable users creating and sharing 
content.    

The ‘former audience’ combines traditional activities such as searching, 
reading, watching and listening, with producing, commenting, sharing, and 
classifying its own content. New genres of filmmaking and photography where 
the message gains ground over the form are developing. The proliferation of 
user-created content is fuelled by the wide availability of at-hand mundane 
technology such as mobile telephones, and the wider broadcasting outlets. 
These are mainly web-based however increasingly user-created content such 
as videos of breaking news stories feature in traditional broadcasting channels 
as for instance television.
The increasing range of web 2.0 and mundane technology choices, facilitating 
the development of user-created content and providing opportunities to meet 
and collaborate, offers immense potential for teaching and learning. However, 
the danger remains that the transition from consumer to creator might miss 
the learning opportunity. 

The IADIS Mobile Learning 2009 International Conference seeks to provide a 
forum for the discussion and presentation of mobile learning research. In 
particular, but not exclusively, we aim to explore the transition from content 
consumer to 
content creator in experiences that take advantage of the learning 
opportunities this provides.

* Format of the Conference 
The conference will comprise of invited talks and oral presentations. The 
proceedings of the conference will be published in the form of a book and CD-

papers in the IADIS Journal on Computer Science and Information Systems 
(ISSN: 1646-3692) and also in other selected Journals.
