'Innovative Practice with e-Learning' is a good practice guide to embedding mobile and wireless technologies into everyday practice which is aimed at practitioners and managers in further and higher education and adult and community learning. This publication builds on the case study approach adopted in ‘Effective Practice with e-Learning’ to explore ways in which mobile and wireless technologies have become established in post-16 and higher education institutions.

‘Innovative Practice with e-Learning’ identifies challenges and benefits relating to the use of six commonly found mobile devices and reflects the findings of reports commissioned through the e-Learning and Innovation strand. 10 new case studies are also included to illustrate the use and the impact of these new technologies from three perspectives: those of the learner, the practitioner and the institution.

The publication contains a supplementary CD-ROM which contains extended versions of all 10 case studies, video clips for 5 of the case studies, an e-learning audit tool, and planning tools for use of mobile and wireless technologies. These have been designed as separate downloadable tools for use by institutional managers, e-learning managers or practitioners.

Copies of the free publication can be ordered by UK post-16 and higher education institutions by emailing publications@jisc.ac.uk
