Published today, a new Open Access text on Applied Pedagogies for Higher Education includes my chapter on Real-Time, Real World Learning—Capitalising on Mobile Technology.

This chapter explores the adoption of Web 2.0 technologies to promote active learning by students and to both mediate and enhance classroom instruction – a timely contribution in the current teaching climate. I also introduce the concept of Actually Active Learning, which not only motivates students to engage meaningfully in their learning but also encourages them to be physically active, increasing their physical activity levels – a significant element given current health trends.
