Pervasive Learning:Forecasting the Future of Individual and Collaborative Learning within an Age of Ubiquitous Communication
Doctoral Progress:
Mark A.M. Kramer
"There is a need to re-conceptualize
learning for the mobile age, to recognize the essential role of mobility and communication in the process of learning."
-- Mike Sharples: University of Nottingham
Impulse:
Mobile information and communication technologies are increasingly impacting the lives of individuals and are a major factor in helping re-shape our cultures and societies...
Abstract:
...Ubiquitous computing and mixed-reality computing scenarios are becoming commonplace and have a huge influence in the way in which individuals relate with others and their surroundings...
Abstract:
This research will explore the impact of existing and emerging mobile information & communications technologies and services on Higher Education and in society in general, to help shape and determine the future of mobile learning within Europe

Impact on Education:
What is the mobile age?
What is mobility?
What is mobility?
What is communication?
What is education?
What is technology?
What is learning?
What is educational technology?
! Pervasive learning enables the flexibility to learn “anytime” “anywhere”!
Ubiquitous & Pervasive Learning:
What will be the impact on
Formal...Non-formal...In-formal learning
Questions:
Is the development of mobile learning and related practices a direct result of dominant social forces shaping the way we learn and acquire knowledge?
Questions:
Is mobile learning an evolutionary stage of progression within the development of education and educational practices?
Questions:
Are lesser developed regions more likely to adopt and adapt to current and emerging mobile learning cultures?
Questions:
What are the human factors limiting the up-take of mobile learning?
Questions:
What are the human factors Contributing to the up-take of mobile learning?
Questions:
What are the trends and drivers?
• of development• of uptake
Questions:
What are the prerequisites for mobile learning?
• literacies•capabilities
Questions:
...will this bring a positive impact on higher education?
What is Ubiquitous and Mixed Reality Learning?
Are Ubiquitous and Mixed Reality practices feasible...and...
Conclusion:
Research Reflections
Mobile Learning is a evolutionary process shaped by the societal need to adapt to the current phase of societal development
Developing a Working Thesis:
The mobility of the individual increases individual capabilities and emerge to help individuals adapt to their environment and social circumstances.
Developing a Working Thesis:
The future of mobile learning is not dependent on access to technology and related infrastructure, but rather developing the awareness, skills and capabilities within individuals to decide if mobile-learning brings them personal benefit.
Working Thesis:
Lesser developed regions are more likely to adopt mobile learning scenarios in order to achieve (or maintain) a more equal social standing with other more developed regions.
Working Thesis:
Technology enhanced mobile learning is a result of current societal developments (Globalization)and will become the dominant method of knowledge acquisition within non-formal and informal learning scenarios
