iPadagogy: Appropriating the iPad within Pedagogical Contexts

Abstract

In this paper we compare and critique four mlearning projects using iPads in 2010. Using an action research methodology the authors explored the impact of the integration of the mlearning projects on the pedagogical approaches of these four courses. The four iPad projects present four different approaches to the integration of the iPad within a variety of educational contexts. The four projects were informed by six critical success factors identified from thirty mlearning projects between 2006 and 2010, and the resulting plans for 2011 are introduced.
