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.
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.

Congratulations to Larry Taylor, the winner of the International Award for Excellence in the area of learning and education for his paper Tech Pushers: Making Administrators into Tech Integration Facilitators
Abstract: Current research suggests that students are more technology savvy than previously understood and may even be “dumbing down” for school. This coupled with strong evidence that technology integration into everyday life is growing in both volume and level of sophistication suggests that teaching students to engage technology by making it a common component of their learning environment is not just appropriate, but critical. Nevertheless, current top-down models for technology integration do not seem to be facilitating integration. Current research on motivation strongly suggests that adoption motivation is linked to perceived outcome value. This paper explores these issues en route to a discussion of how education might make use of a current popular business model for integration. This model can be utilized to empower and place greater responsibility on local administrators to facilitate integration of technology into education.
