ABSTRACT
This chapter considers how mobile and ubiquitous technologies support learning journeys, with particular reference to significant landmarks along these journeys that may help sustain learning in the longer term. The metaphor of a 'learning journey' evokes an abstract idea of progress or development that may also be facilitated by physical movement or travel across a terrain. It serves the purpose of focusing the value of mobile learning experiences in terms of real-world learning, incorporating reflection on learning and having the potential to extend and sustain the learning according to personal/ shared interests and needs. Collaborative learning and co-learning, facilitated by learner creation of content and content sharing, can all enhance the journey. Co-learning denotes an approach in which learners, educators and other stakeholders participate jointly in the learning process. Co-learning journeys are an implicit concept underpinning the MASELTOV project, which introduces a novel approach to supporting informal learning journeys undertaken by immigrants settling down to life in a new city.
