We welcome papers that discuss the use of mobile mobiles as a social means of education and/or how mobile devices can enhance learning and teaching. And we are particularly interested in papers that showcase creative practice as a methodological approach and how mobiles contribute to transdisciplinary co-creation or collaboration.</span></p>
