As with television and computers before it, today’s mobile technology challenges educators to respond and ensure their work is relevant to students. What’s changed is that this portable, cross-contextual way of engaging with the world is driving a more proactive approach to learning on the part of young people. The first full-length authored treatment of the relationship between the centrality of technological development in daily life and its potential as a means of education, Mobile Learning charts the rapid emergence of new forms of mass communication and their potential for gathering, shaping, and analyzing information, studying their transformative capability and learning potential in the contexts of school and socio-cultural change. The focus is on mobile/cell phones, PDAs, and to a lesser extent gaming devices and music players, not as "the next new thing" but meaningfully integrated into education, without objectifying the devices or technology itself. And the book fully grounds readers by offering theoretical and conceptual models, an analytical framework for understanding the issues, recommendations for specialized resources, and practical examples of mobile learning in formal as well as informal educational settings, particularly with at-risk students. Among the topics covered: • Core issues in mobile learning • Mobile devices as educational resources • Socioeconomic approaches to mobile learning • Creating situations that promote mobile learning • Ubiquitous mobility and its implications for pedagogy • Bridging the digital divide at the policy level Mobile Learning is a groundbreaking volume, sure to stimulate both discussion and innovation among educational professionals interested in technology in the context of teaching and learning.

Instructional Design for Organizational Justice prepares instructional designers to use culturally relevant, performance-based learning materials and environments that improve organizational and workplace learning experiences for today’s diverse, globalized contexts. With socially just leadership and DEI initiatives growing in institutions across sectors, today’s instructional design programs must prepare graduate students to be more culturally relevant, equity-minded, and inclusive in their professional practice. This textbook explores the implementation of systematic, systemic, and performance-oriented designs alongside the use of organizational justice theory to facilitate more equitable, inclusive performance improvement and workplace learning interventions. The book introduces the Learning and Performance Support Instructional Design (LeaPs ID) Model. Applicable to instructional designers, educational technologists, learning experience designers, learning engineers, and human resource development professionals, this original, iterative process: integrates common ID heuristics, design-based thinking, culture, equity, inclusion, and other inputs external to the organization and ID project; portrays a realistic, scalable, iterative, agile approach to the ID process; aids in the design of environments in which adult learners can observe, practice, and receive feedback, building the knowledge and capacity required for their desired performance; and is illustrated by a wealth of examples, templates, and processes developed in the field to support adult learners and collaborate with subject matter experts. Relevant to business, government, military, non-profit, non-governmental, and higher education settings, this unique and comprehensive volume lends itself to uncovering values and motives essential to successful agile project management as well as to diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives and social change.

Educational technology is an indispensable element of teaching. Teacher educators need knowledge and skills to design and successfully implement technology-enhanced learning. In today's world, most people must continuously improve their abilities and information levels to encounter the challenges of lifestyle. The current era of the 21st century is the data and innovation (IT) time. Each viewpoint of life has got to be synonymous with science and advancement. All over the world, information in all ranges is making tremendous advances. Information and innovation are right now being utilized within the field of education to create effective and interesting instruction and preparation for both understudies and teachers. The term “technology” within the 21st century is a critical issue in many fields, including instruction. This is since innovation has become the interstate information development in numerous countries. Nowadays, the application of technology has experienced progress and has changed our social designs that totally alter the way people think, work, and live. As a component of this, schools and other instructive teaching approaches ought to plan understudies to live in an “information society” to consider ICT support in their instructive programs. “Technology could be a crucial portion of teaching today’s students and it is utilized at whatever point conceivable within the classroom so that it moves forward the large learning environment.” Students will also get acquainted with innovation since they will utilize it in the future. A great educator not only provides proper ways for students to plan successfully but also motivates them to utilize their abilities in developing their country. This is often the crossover strategy of instructing in which ICT is being utilized for instructing learning circumstances. The combination of both the words “techno” and “pedagogy” implies weaving the innovations into the instructing learning preparation. It needs to consciously recognize the intervening learning environment in order to simplify and clarify the data transmission process to the greatest extent. Hence the thought of the Publication of the Edited book entitled “Essentials of Techno-pedagogy” to make available the rudiments concerning Techno-Pedagogy. This collection includes innovative research and enticing ideas which would tickle the palate of the specialist, the teacher and the curious reader.
