Welcome to mLearn 2014!

The mLearn "travelling trophy" has arrived, and the 13th World Conference on Mobile and Contextual Learning (mLearn 2014) is now underway! Thus year's conference is being hosted at Kadir-Has University in Istanbul, Turkey.


The conference kicked off unofficially on Monday, November 3, with a slate of five half-day workshops and tutorials. The main conference was officially opened on Tuesday morning with welcoming remarks from the local hosts, and IAmLearn president Dr. Marcus Specht. The opening keynote featured Dr. Mike Sharples talking about the mLearning challenges of going "massive and sustainable." In addition to a full slate of paper and poster presentations over two days, the conference will also feature the IAmLearn Annual General Meeting. All members are encouraged to attend the AGM, and to have their say in votes on Association plans and new Executive members.
