Learning on a mobile device is not the future. It's the present. Students are already using mobile devices for everything from Web browsing to note-taking, navigating the Learning Management System and even writing full term papers.This book moves us beyond overly simplified assumptions about using technology for teaching and learning. Instead, it helps readers explore, understand, and appreciate how different teaching and learning contexts can fundamentally shape the possibilities of using mobile devices for meaningful and authentic learning experiences. It's really the word 'mindful' in this book's title that's the ticket here. Using a mobile device for learning is not just about what you're using, but how and why you're using it. This book reminds us that learning doesn't just happen in the four static walls of the classroom during a set period of time. The concept of fluid learning, woven in throughout this book, emphasizes that students and instructors alike have option for learning so as not to shut down avenues for learning, but so as to open up new possibilities. With the concrete tips, detailed lesson plans, and actionable ideas in this book, mobile-mindful learning means that instructors can open up even more potential for students to be intentional about how they use the technologies that are a ubiquitous part of their lives for learning. The guidance from this book will allow educators to empower and trust their students to be agential in determining how, where, or when they can learn best. --From the Foreword by Jenae Cohn, Executive Director, Center for Teaching and Learning, University of California, Berkeley The majority of our formal learning in colleges, universities, and workplaces is technology mediated: it takes place beyond the formal spaces and times of classrooms and training sessions. While most of us prefer to support our learning using robust tools like laptops and desktop computers, we most often end up using our mobile phones, just because they are the devices we have with ourselves when learning moments happen. In Mobile-Mindful Teaching and Learning, Dr. Christina Moore explains why this is so, introduces readers to our own mobile-learning habits, and provides concrete and practical advice for instructors and facilitators in a variety of teaching and learning situations. More importantly, Dr. Moore helps us to frame mobile devices as learner-success devices: key enablers of access to--and equity in--our educational programs. I highly recommend this book to colleagues who want to reach learners making time for study in otherwise busy lives. --Thomas, J. Tobin, author of Reach Everyone, Teach Everyone: Universal Design for Learning in Higher Education

This book is AMAZING! Dr. Moore uses a personal narrative to guide the reader through an area that many faculty members find challenging, if not intimidating: improving learning by having students use their smartphones. In a thoughtful and methodical manner, Christina first builds the concept and practical ways an individual might engage mobile-mindful learning. She then proceeds to skillfully lay out a path that brings smartphones into course design in a way that truly benefits students. Not only will faculty members be able to teach students using their smartphones, information in this book can be used to teach students how to be better learners in any situation by using their smartphones in a mindful way. --Todd D. Zakrajsek, Ph.D., Director, International Teaching Learning Cooperative, author of The New Science of Learning, Stylus Publishing Christina Moore invites readers of Mobile-Mindful Teaching and Learning to reflect on and converse about the ways in which we can pursue deeper learning and enact more impactful teaching using the devices many of us have with us at all times. Moore provides practical examples from which to draw inspiration and additional resources to explore via QR codes and the book's website. Throughout the book, we are given prompts to increase our likelihood of putting what we are readinginto practice. --Bonni Stachowiak, Teaching in Higher Ed podcast producer and host Learning on a mobile device is not the future.

Enter a world of possibility via Mobile-Mindful Teaching and Learning. Moore presents her vision for fluid learning in motion with the utmost care for both students and educators, challenging readers to reconsider deeply held notions of how and where learning happens. That challenge is balanced with tremendous support including tons of practical examples and case studies showing how to infuse courses with mobile learning, an approach that has the potential to bolster accessibility for all learners. Highly recommended. --Karen Costa, Faculty Learning Facilitator, 100 Faculty, LLC and Author of 99 Tips for Creating Simple and Sustainable Videos Grounded in the principles of UDL and learning ecologies, Dr. Christina Moore's Mobile-Mindful Teaching and Learning: Harnessing the Technology that Students Use Most brilliantly examines how to engage today's students in a fluid learning environment. Guided by reflection and bursting with practical applications, coupled with an emphasis on social learning and accessibility, Moore provides a step-by-step guide to implement a thoughtful, flexible, mobile-mindful pedagogy and thereby has created an indispensable tool for twenty-first century educators! --Lillian Nave, Senior Lecturer at Appalachian State University and Host of the Think UDL podcast The first time I noticed a professor using a phone to take notes during a workshop about teaching, I knew things in higher education were starting to change. I used to see a mobile phone as a tool for distraction and disengagement (and it still can be). But, now I see the potential of phones for accessibility, convenience, engagement, and yes, for learning. In Mobile-Mindful Teaching and Learning, Dr. Christina Moore encourages us to reexamine our assumptions about the role of mobile phones in education. She addresses the most common criticisms about using mobile phones for learning and offers supportive resources, examples, and teaching strategies to help us design engaging and meaningful mobile learning experiences. With Dr. Moore's guidance, maybe we can encourage our students (and ourselves!) to move from mindless scrolling to mindful learning. --Barbi Honeycutt, Ph.D., Teaching & Learning Consultant, Host of the Lecture Breakers Podcast The majority of our formal learning in colleges, universities, and workplaces is technology mediated: it takes place beyond the formal spaces and times of classrooms and training sessions.
