Series: Ubi-Learn

Published on January 19, 2011 in Journal and Newsletter. 0 Comments Tags: sticky-even.

We are accepting book proposals for our imprint Ubi-Learn.

Common Ground is setting new standards of rigorous academic knowledge creation and scholarly publication.

Unlike other publishers, we’re not interested in the size of potential markets or competition from other books. We’re only interested in the intellectual quality of the work.

If your book is a brilliant contribution to a specialist area of knowledge that only serves a small intellectual community, we still want to publish it. If it is expansive and has a broad appeal, we want to publish it too, but only if it is of the highest intellectual quality.

Ubiquitous Learning Journal Submissions

We are accepting submissions for the next volume of Ubiquitous Learning: An International Journal.

Ubiquitous Learning: An International Journal sets out to define an emerging field. Ubiquitous learning is a new educational paradigm made possible in part by the affordances of digital media.

Ubiquitous Learning is a counterpart to the concept ‘ubiquitous computing’, but one which seeks to put the needs and dynamics of learning ahead of the technologies that may support learning. The arrival of new technologies does not mean that learning has to change. Learning should only change for learning’s sake. The key perspective of the conference and journal is that our changing learning needs can be served by ubiquitous computing. In this spirit, the journal investigates the affordances for learning in the digital media, in school and throughout everyday life.

Refereeing of submitted papers will commence shortly so start the submission process early by submitting your proposal.

Paper submission guidelines and timelines are available online.

document31 Congratulations to Tabitha McKenzie, Rawiri Toia and Hiria McRae the winners of the International Award for Excellence in the area of learning and education with their paper

Anywhere, Anytime – Creating a Mobile Indigenous Language Platform.

Abstract: A group of academics from Victoria University of Wellington has developed an innovative approach to teacher professional development.

In response to limited teaching reliever numbers in schools and heightened by a dearth of language specialists a model using video podcasts, online support and in-school facilitation was developed to advance areas of M?ori language and language acquisition amongst teachers.

This paper will examine the innovative approach to in-school facilitated language development and discuss outcomes of the project.

The Ubiquitous Learning Journal presents an annual International Award for Excellence in the area of learning and education. All papers submitted for publication in the Ubiquitous Learning Journal are entered into consideration for this award.

The review committee for the award is the International Advisory Board for the Journal and the Conference, who select the winning paper from the ten highest-ranked papers emerging from the referee process and according to the selection criteria outlined in the referee guidelines.
