Mobile Technology for Learning

Join us for a two day conference in Copenhagen on Mai 28-29th.

As mobile technology mature and nearly all learners carry an advanced computer with vast memories in their pocket at all times, it is relevant for learning professionals to intensify their considerations about how these instruments can be of use for their learners.

Already there are useful examples of how various local and international players in the learning field have harnessed the mobile technology to support their learners. (Check out and participate in writing our "Background Page")

During our annual conference - together with FLUID - we will study various aspects of M-Learning; How and why we and our learners will benefit from our adaptation of the mobile device.

On the first conference day May 28th the focus will be on mobile technology and pedagogies.
On the second day: May 29th we will carry on the successful experiment from last year - and become mobile ourselves and visit various interesting companies in Copenhagen which are active within the field of flexible learning.
