mLearn 2015 - 14th World Conference on Mobile and Contextual Learning (mLearn 2015)

The mLearn 2015 international mobile learning conference will take place from 17 to 24 October 2015, on a cruise ship departing from Venice, Italy. Pre-conference Workshops will take place on 18 October 2015. This fourteenth annual conference on mobile and contextual learning is the key research and networking event for researchers, strategists, educators, technologists and industry practitioners from all over the world. mLearn attracts a large number of participants from more than 60 countries representing all continents, and is, therefore, the world's largest international conference on mLearning and emerging ambient technologies.
Venue mLearn 2015 Cruise
14th World conference on mobile and contextual learning
The mLearn 2015 conference will be held on a cruise ship during October/November2015. The theme of the conference suits the cruise theme wonderfully, namely: “
The mobile learning voyage: from small ripples to massive open waters.”
The International Association for Mobile Learning (IAmLearn) is the custodian of the mLearn conference series. mLearn is the leading annual international conference for researchers, policy makers, educators, developers and solutions providers in the fields of mobile, ubiquitous and contextual learning, and learning with emerging ambient and wearable technologies, attracting participants from more than 60 countries.
IAmLearn (www.iamlearn.org) each year invites tenders and proposals to host the mLearn conference in the following year. During 2014, three institutions joined forces to submit a tender to host mLearn 2015 in South Africa. The North-West University: Vaal Triangle Campus (NWU: VTC) represented by Prof Herman van der Merwe, Unisa, represented by Prof Tom Brown from the Institute for Open & Distance Learning (IODL), and Midrand Graduate Institute, represented by Dr Johan Freysen, will be organising and hosting the mLearn 2015 Cruise in October/November 2015. Herman, Tom and Johan also organised the 4th mLearn conference in Cape Town, 2005, where the Association was born. Ten years later we bring the conference back to South Africa.
Some of the benefits of attending the mLearn 2015 conference:
mLearn 2015 will provide researchers, academics, industry practitioners and commercial vendors all the benefits of participating in one of the premier international conferences and being exposed to the exciting and rapidly growing field of mobile and contextual learning.
mLearn offers unrivalled opportunities for networking with key academic and commercial contacts.
mLearn is the only conference endorsed by the International Association for Mobile Learning (IAmLearn), a membership association which promotes excellence in research, development and application of mobile and contextual learning.
The mLearn conference series has an established relationship with the official journal of IAmLearn, the International Journal of Mobile and Blended Learning (IJMBL). This is the leading journal in mobile learning, indexed in Scopus and PsycINFO and included in the ACM digital library.
