Proceedings Of The 2nd International Conference On The Use Of Ipads In Higher Education

With the widespread implementation of tablet computers in Higher Education (HE), this book will be of interest to academics from a variety of disciplines, and to learning technologists who are considering the use of iPads for teaching and learning or have an interest in mobile learning in general. The proceedings from the 2nd International Conference on the Use of iPads in Higher Education (ihe2016) cover articles in the following areas: health, education, environmental management, fieldwork, medical education, law, teacher training and education, design, academic technologies, online assessments, and professional development. The contributors here use a wide variety of research methodologies to investigate the use of iPads in HE, including: surveys, questionnaires, focus groups, long-term studies, qualitative methods, pilot projects, multimodal approaches, observations, technology implementation models, action research case studies, ethnographic approaches, field studies, content analysis, and mixed methods.

The proceedings of the 1st International Conference on the use of iPads in Higher Education (ihe2014) gathered in this volume will be of interest to a wide range of academics regardless of research discipline. With the widespread implementation of the use of tablets, particularly iPads, in Higher Education, this book will be useful to academics that are interested in using iPads in teaching and learning, irrespective of the scale of implementation. The contributions to this volume cover a wide range of academic areas, including Urban Planning and Management; Urban Studies; Education; Environmental Management; Biology; Medical Education; Business Administration; Teacher Training and Education; Physics; Languages; Conference and Meetings Management; Art and Design; Computing and Mathematics; and Physiotherapy and Occupational Therapy. They also utilise a variety of research methods, such as surveys, questionnaires, focus groups, and field studies.

Mobile Learning and Higher Education provides case studies of mobile learning in higher education settings to showcase how devices can transform learning at the undergraduate and graduate levels. With the rapid diffusion of networked technologies among the adult populations of many countries and the supersession of the once-ubiquitous lecture approach with active learner-centered teaching for deep understanding, mobile devices are increasingly used in higher education classrooms to offer unique and effective new approaches to teaching and learning. A cutting-edge research volume, this collection also provides a springboard for building better practices in higher education institutions.

This book presents state-of-the-art intelligent methods and techniques for solving real-world problemsand offers a vision of future research. Featuring 143 papers from the 4th Future Technologies Conference, held in San Francisco, USA, in 2019, it covers a wide range of important topics, including, but not limited to, computing, electronics, artificial intelligence, robotics, security and communications and their applications to the real world. As such, it is an interesting, exciting and inspiring read.

This exemplary Handbook provides readers with a novel synthesis of international research, evidence-based practice and personal reflections to offer an overview of the current state of knowledge in the field of teaching geography in higher education. Chapters cover the three key transitions – into, through, and out of higher education – to present a thorough analysis of the topic.

Primary teacher training is challenging. Trainees must be prepared to consider teaching in innovative ways, while remaining focused on the unchanging requirements of children’s learning. The fourth edition of this popular core book supports trainee teachers working towards primary QTS who need to take account of the diverse aspects of primary professional studies. This is a comprehensive, core text for the primary professional studies module. It begins with an exploration of the curriculum and reviews the current curriculum. The text moves on to look at ′The Developing Child′ encouraging students to focus on child-centred teaching and learning and explores the needs and learning journeys of all children. The fourth edition includes new chapters on technology and learning, mindfulness in the classroom, reflective practice and completing research and writing assignments for primary teacher training.

Mobile Learning and Mathematics provides an overview of current research on how mobile devices are supporting mathematics educators in classrooms across the globe. Through nine case studies, chapter authors investigate the use of mobile technologies over a range of grade levels and mathematical topics, while connecting chapters provide a strong foundational background in mobile learning theories, instructional design, and learner support. For current educators, Mobile Learning and Mathematics provides concrete ideas and strategies for integrating mobile learning into their mathematics instruction—for example, by sharing resources that will help implement Common Core State Standards, or by streamlining the process of selecting from the competing and often confusing technology options currently available. A cutting edge research volume, this collection also provides a springboard for educational researchers to conduct further study.
