The paper builds on the work of Rossito et al. (2014) on collaborative nomadic work to develop three categories of practice of nomadic collaborative learning groups. Our study is based on interviews, workshops and observations of two undergraduate student’s group practices engaged in self-organised, long-term collaborations within the frame of Problem and Project Based Learning. By analysing th...

This paper presents three efforts to support children engaged in mobile and nomadic learning both in and out of the classroom. The HyConExplorer is a mobile, context-aware hypermedia system developed to help pupils access and produce digital content during project work in the field. The eBag is the equivalent of an electronic school bag and provides pupils access to their digital materials thro...
