Learn, Reflect - and Assist! International Study on Mobile Learning needs You

The MOBIlearn Project (http://www.mobilearn.org)is looking for people to take part in a study of their everyday learning. As part of the work covering pedagogical methodologies and paradigms, the University of Birmingham is undertaking a study of people's everyday learning activities and experiences, with a focus on where they learn and the technologies they use.

Participants will have a unique opportunity to reflect on their everyday learning by identifying their own learning needs and to understand their learning practices. In return, the project expects to gain valuable insights into how mobile learning fits into everyday learning patterns, the contexts in which learning takes place and what people learn about while on the move.

The study will involve two parts: firstly, keeping a diary of your normal learning activities for two weeks. A pre-formatted diary is provided, and it takes about 15 minutes per day to fill in, wither on paper or electronically (you can chose). Following this, you will be asked to complete a short questionnaire regarding your learning episodes and projects that you participate in. This will take about 20 minutes once every two months for eight months.

If you are interested in taking part, please visit the website below. For further information, please contact Giasemi Vavoula (g.vavoula@bham.ac.uk).
