Mobile Learning, still in the infancy stage both locally and globally. To date the research and development has generated much interest and discussion in the financial, logistical or technical aspects. The unique attributes of wireless mobile devices by creating new learning opportunities was made possible by mobile technology. The state of the art and ever increasing availability of wireless portable devices eg., laptops, palmtops, mobile phones, PDA, smart phones, etc  and enhanced infrastructure and navigational services by the mobile service providers eg., 2G-3G, WAP, GPS, Bluetooth, WLAN ,GPRS, etc have provided a rich environment for the proliferation of mobile learning applications. The development of mobile applications and the availability of devices offer substantial potential to support and enable learning and teaching processes on portable mobile devices will be presented, accompanied by experimentations to demonstrate their coherence and feasibility. The Mobile Learning and Edutainment Conference 2008 aims to provide a forum for presenting and discussing cutting edge research and development in mobile learning. In particular empirical research informed by theories of learning approaches which are well suited for mobile learning experiences and scenarios, is encouraged. Furthermore, given the continuous developments in technology, the conference aims to generate speculative debate in relation to where the field may be going. 

We invite researchers, practitioners, developers and all those working in the mobile learning arena to submit papers on the following topics:

• Pedagogical approaches and theories for mLearning
• Collaborative, cooperative and Contextual mLearning
• Creativity and mLearning
• Gaming and simulations in mLearning
• mLearning in educational institutions: primary, secondary and third level
• Informal and Lifelong mLearning 
• mLearning in developing countries
• New tools, technologies and platforms for mLearning
• User Studies in mLearning
• The social phenomenon of mobile devices and mLearning
• Speculative ideas in mLearning: where next?

An academic conference is itself an exercise in learning. Accordingly, proposals as to how mobile technology can enhance the conference experience are invited.

The Conference Secretariat must receive your paper by September 15, 2008. Late paper submissions will result in the papers being excluded from the conference proceedings.

In order for us to ensure the quality of papers for the proceedings, we would ask you to use the following formats when preparing papers for submission. The formatting instructions must be strictly followed. The page limit for final papers is six single-spaced pages in 10 point Times New Roman font. 

All submissions should follow the template given and send via email to lttglobal@gmail.com.  Receipt of paper submission will be confirmed by email.

All papers submitted to this conference will be peer evaluated by at least two reviewers. Acceptance will be based primarily on originality and contribution.
All papers submitted to the conference secretariat must be previously unpublished and may not be considered for publication elsewhere at any time during the Mobile Learning and Edutainment Conference 2007 review period. Authors are limited to a maximum of three paper submissions.

Authors are responsible for having their papers checked for style and grammar prior to submission to the Secretariat. Papers may be rejected if the language is not satisfactory.
