ScholarWorks

Descriptions and Schedule

1. Plenary Sessions
Presentations on Arizona State University's efforts in the mobile arena and Boise State University's new Mobile Learning Initiative.

2. Teaching and Learning
This track will highlight the experience of the mLearning Scholars, a group of Boise State faculty who worked with mobile technologies in the classroom during Spring 2011. These presentations will focus on lessons learned that include; problem areas to avoid, ways to foster student engagement and enhance faculty/student communication, and considerations in course design for mobile technologies.

3. Digital Content
When you are conducting a literature review, researching, or designing your courses, having the right resources at hand is crucial. During the research process, many want to have access to digital content instantaneously. Curious about the campus initiatives regarding digital content? There are many options you can integrate into your courses and use in your research. This track showcases the work of several campus experts and the initiatives taking place regarding how to use digital content in designing your mobile learning courses, and accessing information for research.

4. Student Life
Mobile devices offer students the opportunity to connect with each other and important information that can enrich their experience as students. This track offers insights on how social media and mobile apps can be leveraged to improve a Boise State student's experience.

5. Technology, Infrastructure & Support
Mobile devices are more than just game systems on the go. Anytime/anywhere access means that productivity can happen in the fill-in moments between the other important aspects of our lives. What do we need to know about devices, apps, data plans and the like to be productive? What changes and efforts need to be put into a support organization to assist in this process? These presentations start to answer these kinds of questions.

6. Tuesday Presentations
Because there were just too many great presenters for one day! These invited guests will focus on the issues raised in the tracks above and how they have been addressed at other campuses.
