Goals
"...our work aims to contribute with a complementary perspective of collaborative mobile learning by providing knowledge and new insights into the teacher's and learner's appropriation processes of mobile devices as they emerge and unfold in the classroom—without the researcher's or designer's intervention. In that vein, we specifically ask the following research questions: How can we account for collaboration in these new emerging learning landscapes? What new insights about collaborative mobile learning can be gained from complementary approaches, such as the instrumental genesis theory (Rabardel, 1995)?" (Authors, 219-220)
