<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;" lang="en-GB">The conference is hosted
by the University of Bremen, run by the Department for Media
Education and Design of Multimodal Learning Environments and by
the Institute Technology and Education (ITB) in association with
the London Mobile Learning Group (LMLG), Pontydysgu and
MirandaNet.<br>

<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;" lang="en-GB"> </p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;" lang="en-GB">The 'Mobile learning:
Crossing boundaries in convergent environments' Conference builds
on a series of mobile learning research symposia hosted by the WLE
Centre for Excellence at the Institute of Education, University of
London between 2007 and 2009. It will focus on the challenges of
developing new pedagogic approaches and on the potential of mobile
devices for learning in formal and informal contexts. As mobile
learning is not only about learning with mobile technologies, but
also considered to be "new" learning, the conference will look at
challenges for research and practice in understanding the changing
social and technological structures allowing the use of technology
for learning that are present in our personal lives, in school and
in work places. Thus mobile learning crosses the boundary of
institutional learning and looks at practical fields like
work-based learning and medicine, too. Also, the conference will
look at the latest developments in hardware and software which can
support personalised learning. By focusing on theory and practice,
development and use, teaching and learning, formal and informal
contexts, the conference intends to offer spaces for researchers,
practitioners, developers, the industry and policy makers to
exchange ideas, experiences and research around issues and
approaches to mobile learning, including sociological and
educational issues and their effectiveness and desirability as
learning spaces as well as the design of environments.<br>

<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">The conference is preceded by the
EduCamp, a BarCamp for people interested in media and learning,
which will take place in Bremen from March 19-20, 2011. In
collaboration with MirandaNet, the conference is running a
MirandaMod (Twitter: #MirandaModBremen) on March 21, 2011 which
addresses teachers and practitioners who are interested in
teaching and learning with new technologies. Pontydysgu will
broadcast their live internet radio show "Sounds of the Bazaar
LIVE Radio Programme" from the conference.<span lang="en-GB"><br>
