Flexible Learning in New Contexts

Although mobile technologies are omnipresent in daily life, they are little used in university teaching. Approaches such as seamless learning show both the didactic potential and the challenges of integrating mobile technologies into teaching. In order to tap into the didactic potential of such technologies, these approaches must first be operationalized. However, there is currently only limited empirical knowledge about the relationship between flexibility, context, and technology. This paper analyses device-intrinsic factors of contextualisation and the flexibility of courses in a multi-year seamless learning study at a Swiss university.
