Intentionally mobile pedagogy: the M-COPE framework for mobile learning in higher education

Are social media applications a facilitator or barrier to learning for tourism and hospitality management students?

“…Whichever stream of learning theories a researcher advocates, it directly shapes her/his understanding of technology-mediated learning and the resultant conclusion of pedagogical design. For example, Dennen and Hao (2014) discuss pedagogies for mobile learning in higher education that account for mobile technology-supported collaborative learning, and one can quickly find the root of this in social constructive learning theories (Bandura, 1977;Vygotsky, 1978). Garcia et al (2015) investigate how blog practice can facilitate collectivist learning.…”

Towards Massive Data and Sparse Data in Adaptive Micro Open Educational Resource Recommendation: A Study on Semantic Knowledge Base Construction and Cold Start Problem

“…Similarly, P k,j sums up all the predicted preferences from the learner L j versus micro OERs that k contains. η = min(αVD k + βRT k,j + γ/P 1 k,j + δ/P k,j ) (8) where α, β, γ and δ serve as weight for each variable and suggestively α > β > γ > δ, P 1 k,j denotes the L k 's preference value of the first micro OER in the candidate learning path k.…”

“…Using mobile devices, learners are easily affected by their mood or environmental distractions [8]. In this paper, we will present our research on profiling micro learning processes through OERs and building a knowledge base to support the decision-making process of micro OER adaptation.…”

El smartphone en la educación superior. Un estudio comparativo del uso educativo, social y ubicuo en universidades españolas e hispanoamericanas

“…La educación superior se encuentra todavía en un proceso de comprensión, análisis y adaptación a este nuevo escenario social y educativo, pero es claro es que la universidad no puede ignorar este nuevo contexto de computación móvil (Ciampa, 2014;Dennen y Hao, 2014). La sociedad de la ubicuidad propicia un aprendizaje ubicuo (Cope y Kalantzis, 2009), donde "aprendemos cualquier cosa, en cualquier momento y en cualquier lugar, utilizando tecnologías e infraestructuras de informática ubicua" (Sakamura y Koshiznka, 2005, p. 4).…”
