Paper Abstract:
|
This paper explores the ethics of learning with mobile devices, especially as it crosses the boundary from formal to informal learning. It draws on the work of a special interest group of academics and starts from the perspectives of the established practices and conventional thinking of the mobile learning research community, a research community that is part of the wider technology-enhanced learning research community based within formal educational institutions, and then moves to the perspectives of societies where connection and movement, especially digitally mediated connection and movement, are transforming the notions of community and knowledge and hence transforming the notion of ethics. The conclusion is that these two perspectives are not commensurable and that as time passes the latter is more tenable but more challenging. |
