What's going on

Hi :)

I long time that I haven't written a word here. Well, I finished my proposal and now I'm waiting for feedback. I went to two conferences last month - Handheld Learning and Mlearn in England. Both were great, but Mlearn was more useful for me. Now, I'm going to concentrate on reading and planning a new schedule for the next month :). A good paper of methods in mobile technology is the Emerging research methods for understanding mobile technology use by Hagen et al (2005). They pass through methods in computing science and quote a lot of examples on mobile technology environment. They also select how to mediate the data collection in three categories:

Do it: participants actively collect the data
Use it: data collection occurs automatically as a side effect of using the technology
Wear it: participants carry/wear the data collection device

It is a good paper as a reference for methodology in the field
