IADIS Mobile Learning is an international conference series, hosted in Europe. This conference series was inaugurated in Malta in 2005 and is the longest standing annual international mobile learning conference after MLearn. Scope A growing understanding of the learning and instructional affordances of mobile technologies (alongside technological developments), have enabled the design and investigation of mobile learning experiences across contexts and dimensions of mobile learning. For instance, the literature in the field is rich in studies which investigate how learners move physical locations, utilising several devices/technologies, interacting with various social networks (perhaps across formal and informal learning settings), as they pursuit a learning path or event. This conference seeks to provide a forum for the presentation and discussion of mobile learning research which illustrate developments in the field.
