Material Detail

This paper reports a project designed to explore the elements that help and hinder the adoption of mobile devices in higher education. This study is focused on the use of mobile phones, specifically iPhones, for teaching and learning in the domain of English language at a university in Hong Kong. Using a range of quantitative and qualitative data, the study illustrates how smartphones and tablets might be used effectively for developing more suitable learning designs, and improving digital literacies in students and academic staff. The artifacts developed by students were used in an e-portfolio environment. There was evidence of students engaging with smartphones in the learning environment, which led to improved learning artifacts. A number of challenges were encountered and these are explored in the paper.
