Smart Learning
Smart Learning – teaching and learning with smartphones and tablets in post compulsory education captures innovative practice in teaching and learning with smartphones and tablets. As with previous MELSIG publications, the approach is scholarly, thoughtful, practical and creative. An important dimension of the Smart Learning book is its dual interest in both formal teaching and learning, and in how smart technologies are changing the way we engage with our university life beyond the classroom as academics and students. This new MELSIG book is now available in several formats. Purchase Smart Learning as an e-book or in print form from Amazon.
