This chapter reports on a learning architecture adopting ubiquity and pervasiveness to support communities of learning practice. The research focused on mobile devices that are capable of voice, text, video/photo interactions, and Web access, and how this can cater for the preferred learning styles of the learners while supporting the workplace learning and the educational environment. The research utilised mobile technology for planned and unplanned learning situations via its capability to send and receive multimedia files, Web objects, and live broadcasting. The information and objects created and gathered using mobile technology are in a digital format. This approach allows for customisation and flexible transferability to future intended audiences, planned learning and assessment activities, and workplace learning activities providing an engaging, learner created platform for the mobile generation.

Effective Use

Technology has been integrated into academia. The 21st century learner will be a life-long learner and students need to be comfortable and familiar with computers and technology. Computers are part of the educational environment independent of the different learning styles of the students. Regardless of the major field of study elected by a student, the use of library resources is necessary. Library technophobia is a fear of using a library because of the technology involved. This article addresses different groups who may suffer from library technophobia, the reasons they are anxious, and positive steps that can be taken to ameliorate this stumbling block to academic success.

Abstract This qualitative study examined student perceptions regarding a hybrid classroom format in which part of their learning took place in a traditional classroom and part of their learning occurred in an online platform. Pre-course and post-course anonymous essays suggest that students may be open to learning in this context; however, they have specific concerns as well. Students raised issues regarding faculty communication patterns, learning styles, and the value of clear connections between online and traditional learning experiences. Student concerns and feedback need to be addressed through the course design and by the instructor in order for them to have a positive learning experience in a hybrid format course.
