About this group
Based around colleagues in Learning Technology Research Institute, at London Metropolitan University, and the London Mobile Learning Group. Investigates the application of mobile devices and social media to augment, support and transform learning. We take a pedagogically driven approach to investigating learning across a variety of contexts (e.g. HE, schools, work-based) using such innovations as augmented reality, location based services and the affordances of mobile devices and social media in general.

'Six Principles for Thinking about the Use of Social Media and Mobile Devices for Social Justice and Learning' (see http://slidesha.re/GYYP7X for details and related publications).
1. It is a democratic right to have equity of access to cultural resources (widely defined).
2. Mobile phones are new cultural resources that operate within an individualised, mobile and convergent mass communication system.
3. Users are actively engaged in ‘generating’ their own content and contexts for learning. This principle is summarised as ‘user-generated contexts’.
4. Appropriation is the key for the recognition of mobile devices.
5. There is a significant potential for the use of social media and mobile devices in informal, professional, work-based learning.
6. Social media and mobile devices can be used to design transformative, augmented contexts for learning.
