Norbert Pachler, one of the author of the book entitled " Mobile Learning. structures, agency and practices" published in 2010 by Springer visits K2lab/Stockholm University on the 1st of June. He will give a talk on the notion of a socio-cultural ecology of mobile learning in the morning and will discuss his book on mobile learning with LEAF- Ph D candidates in the afternoon.

Norbert Pachler's seminar  will  present key aspects of the work of the London Mobile Learning Group¹s work on the notion of a socio-cultural ecology of mobile learning and discusses the social and cultural processes that govern the relationship between learners and - with a focus on the role of mobile devices - the tools they use for the semiotic activity that is learning, the contexts for learning, the interaction of the different variables in an ecosystem allow for and generate, as well as in the structural relationships embedded in cultural ecologies between informal (life-world) and formal (educational institution) sites for and of learning.

Bio. Mag. phil. Dr. phil. Norbert Pachler is Reader in Education at the Institute of Education, University of London (www.ioe.ac.uk <http://www.ioe.ac.uk>).

The aim of network is to strengthen interdisciplinary high-quality research and further develop an on-going research effort supported by a seed money grant from NordForsk in the field of Technology Enhanced Learning (TEL). The Learning Ecosystems and Activities of the Future (LEAF) is a research initiative that brings together eight research groups from four Nordic countries (Sweden Finland, Norway and Denmark). These groups encompass an area of scientific research related to the interdisciplinary field of Technology Enhanced Learning with special emphasis on mobile technologies and the fields of Learning sciences and Human computer interaction. These fields focus strongly on both rethinking pedagogic curricula from the opportunities that mobile technologies bring up to education and, redesigning mobile technologies taking account of specific learning and social goals defined in educational curricula.
