ISBN: 978-1-74128-169-9 (online)

      Available: http://ro.uow.edu.au/newtech/

      It is fully downloadable from this site either as individual chapters or as the whole book in pdf form.

      This online book describes a study, funded by Australian Learning and Teaching Council (ALTC), that involved teachers in the Faculty of Education at the University of Wollongong implementing innovative teaching approaches to support mobile learning. Palm Smartphone and Apple iPod technologies were used by undergraduate and postgraduate students to assist their learning across a range of curriculum areas.

      The book outlines authentic activities, assessment strategies, and professional learning approaches that teachers across the higher education sector can easily adapt and implement within their own discipline areas.
