For this year’s mEducation Alliance International Symposium, we want to highlight your experiences and insights on partnership. What does a successful partnership mean for your work? What are the challenges and opportunities evident in partnerships designed to improve learning outcomes through the use of mobile technologies? What kinds of additional or expanded partnerships could your work benefit from, and what could the mEducation Alliance do to support this? Under the broad theme of partnerships, we’ll be looking for presentation and unconference session proposals involving the following themes:

  • Public and Private Sector Partnership Engagement
  • Mobiles for Reading
  • Mobiles for Inclusive Education and Assistive Technology
  • Mobiles for Education System Strengthening
  • Mobiles for Youth and Workforce Development
  • Mobiles for Education in Crisis and Conflict Settings

The Mobiles for Education (mEducation) Alliance is an international collaborative effort between bilateral and multilateral donors, NGOs, foundations, private sector partners, academic researchers, and implementing organizations. Our collective agenda is to explore cutting‐edge intersections between mobile technologies, education and development, to reduce duplicative efforts, and promote collective knowledge‐sharing. The increasing ubiquity of mobile phones and coverage and the current and possible utilization of other mobile devices, including e‐Readers, tablet computers, flash memory, micro/ “pico” projectors, and audio/visual devices among other technologies, provide valuable opportunities for supporting quality education impact in developing countries.

Mobile technology has transformed so many aspects of our lives: how we work, how we communicate, how we study and how we play. Since the first successful M-libraries conference in 2007, libraries around the world have made huge advances in harnessing the technology to improve and enhance their services.  The Fourth international conference will bring together researchers, technical developers, managers, educators, and library practitioners to review achievements to date and consider the creative challenges and opportunities ahead.

We are seeking lively contributions on the following broad themes:

  • Transformation – of services, learners or providers
  • Inspiration – innovative projects which challenge current thinking and practice
  • Implementation – the experience of implementing new mobile technologies
Please submit your abstracts (up to 300 words) by 15th of March 2012 to m-libraries-conference@open.ac.uk . These will be subject to peer review and authors will be notified by 26th of April 2012.

Lead: Professor Carey Jewitt, Institute of Education, London
Fee: £20

Aim and focus

The seminar will explore the following questions:

  • How can the use of different digital technologies change understandings of time, place and space in digital interaction?
  • How might this reconfigure and challenge social science concepts and methods for researching space, time, and place?
  • What concepts and methods can be used to analyze space and distributed interaction in digital environments?
  • How can research methods capture and analyze the flow of ‘materials’, time and dialogue in online interactions?

The seminar will explore key social science concepts of space, time and place pertinent to researching digital technologies and frameworks for analyzing scales of time and sequence in digital data.

It will be followed by two participatory workshops, one focused on mobile technologies and space, the other on social media and time. These will use visual and multimodal research data to explore how digital technologies disrupt and reconfigure concepts of time, place and space and its effect on methods of data collection and analysis within social science.

Who is this seminar for?

Early Career Researchers; postgraduate researchers and those interested in research on mobile technologies, social media, time, space, and place and digital technologies. No prior knowledge needed.
