Organizers: Ilona Buchem, Isa Jahnke & Carl Smith

The Mobile Learning and Creativity Workshop (MLCW12) is a full-day workshop devoted to sharing and designing innovative approaches and solutions aimed at fostering creative learning with mobile technologies such as iPads, smartphones or other online surf plates. :-) We invite students, educators, instructional designers, teachers, researchers, practitioners and developers to share and create innovative, creative mobile learning scenarios and new applications utilizing multiple perspectives and collective intelligence of the participants.

Topics

The key challenge is how to design "learning to be creative" when the answer to the problem is not known? (Gerhard Fischer, 2011). The topics of interest include:

  • Theories, pedagogies and models for creative learning and enhancing creative skills
  • Didactical designs enhanced by mobile devices
  • Learning design approaches to enhancing creative learning including design patterns
  • Development methodologies for creative mobile learning
  • Innovative mobile applications and tools for fostering creative learning
  • Innovative mobile user interfaces for creativity including concepts and products
  • User stories, case studies and evaluations of creative mobile learning
  • Future visions for creative mobile learning including frameworks and methodologies
