Hi All

I am starting some research into how mobile devices affect our everyday interactions, especially at events. It's quite a broad mandate and learning is just one aspect (so apologies if anyone thinks its off topic).

Would really appreciate any comments or story swaps etc.. Also, if anyone is willing to take part in recorded conversations about this please let me know.

You can keep up with blog posts about the work here.

Cheers Jon. Be interesting to talk with you more about the 'Twitter' experience. Do you think you might be tempted to volunteer for a short recorded conversation?

This looks very interesting. I'm really wondering how our everyday use of mobiles affects our learning, not just in formal environments but also in informal ones. It also makes you wonder if and how we should/could redefine the term "learning" in general....

Hi Mark

I think you are picking up on one of the tensions I want to play around with. The informal and formal, its really interesting watch how quickly organisation happens in a crowd with small groups coordinating movements etc.. yet there is no formal centre as such - quite 'wildfire' as Prof. Yrjö Engeström might put it.
