Dec. 2005: JIME Special Issue: Portable Learning - Experiences with Mobile Devices

This special issue of JIME brings together several papers that were produced following a symposium on Portable Learning - Learner and Teacher Experiences with Mobile Devices held in June 2005 at the UK Open University. The purpose of the symposium on Portable Learning was two-fold: to bring together research on mobile devices from different areas of the Open University, and to share experiences with researchers from elsewhere.

Editor's note: Updated March 2006 to include an editorial and finalised versions of all papers.
