  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Theorising and Implementing Mobile Learning

Abstract

This chapter traces the conceptual development of our Mobile Pedagogical Framework, from the original MPF proposed in 2012 to the current format known as iPAC. It traces two development cycles coinciding with mobile learning research projects in Australia and Europe. It includes a description of how the Framework’s visual representation has evolved, informed by a range of stakeholders, including teacher educators, school leaders and school teachers in several countries.
