Research in mobile learning (m-learning) about technology and software and mobile learning's application to educationally related undertakings and a long-term sustainability remain unclear. This chapter untwines the tangled information surrounding m-learning strategy through examining the drivers and perceptions for m-learning in the 21st century. The data will unearth the value of employing diverse modalities of m-learning. Administrators will gain knowledge to develop and implement mobile strategy. Faculty will enhance their familiarity on the diverse types of m-learning tools and the value of employing m-learning in the classroom. Administrators and faculty members will gather knowledge that guides efforts to diminish barriers in support of a successful m-learning implementation. In addition, administrators will garner developed knowledge to analyze, gather requirements, develop, and then implement a strategic m-learning plan for long-term sustainability. Academics and practitioners will gain insight into understanding the balance of a mobile strategy amid economic value and the required controls.

Recent findings have provided strong evidence that retrieval-based learning is an effective strategy for enhancing knowledge retention and long-term meaningful learning, but it is not a preferred learning strategy for the majority of students. The present research analyzes the application of learning gamification principles in online, open-book, multiple-choice tests in order to motivate students to engage in repeated retrieval-based learning activities. The results reveal a strong positive correlation between the number of successful retrieval attempts in these tests that cover content from the course textbook, and long-term knowledge retention as demonstrated in a live, final, closed-book, cumulative exam consisting of multiple-choice, labeling, definitions, and open-ended questions covering the content of both textbook readings and lectures. The presented results suggest that online, open-book tests designed using gamification principles, even when covering partial course content and one type of questions, are an effective strategy for using educational technology to motivate students to repeatedly engage in retrieval-based learning activities and improve long-term knowledge retention, regardless of the course delivery mode.


Mobile devices as learning tools enrich mobile computer supported collaborative learning (mCSCL). Engaging in metacognitive interaction promotes students’ regulatory learning and this can provide a positive influence to learning outcomes. However, despite insightful empirical studies, there is no research into the actual processes of new knowledge creation in this context. This leads to the question of how mobile learning experiences can support the co-creation of new knowledge. Two classroom action research studies were carried out using a qualitative research approach. The analysis of the mobile messages using conversation analysis indicates that self-regulated learning in mCSCL is non-linear, defying existing theory. The findings also show that learners find ways to self-regulate learning activities in socially stimulated learning environments. Through knowledge sharing, students seek new insights into the learning instead of mere transfer of existing content. The Strategic Co-creation of New Knowledge in mCSCL Model has been developed providing innovative ways to approach mobile learning. The findings also comprise improved descriptive models in cross-boundary learning. This research is significant as emerging elements encourage instructors to rethink and design better mobile learning activities to optimize learning. Three recommendations are made and if implemented, will enable learning facilitators to achieve enhanced learning outcomes, engage learners better and improve learning experiences.

The purpose of this article is to see the effectiveness of long distance learning (PJJ) systems in the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic. The Covid-19 pandemic makes learning carried out using a distance method by utilizing various online learning platforms such as google classrooms, zoom cloud meetings, quisziiz, whatsAap grub and other online learning tools that have their respective functions in supporting the implementation of network learning. The conclusion of this article is that the implementation of online learning activities has been maximal and effective. Online learning runs smoothly, when it feels less than ideal. Obstacles that satisfy students and teachers in bold learning include: internet quota data, unstable networks, and supporting devices such as cellphones and laptops. Limiting learning is effective if applied during the Covid-19 pandemic, but a more varied model is needed to keep it interesting if used in the long term

Based on the results of the research that has been obtained about the strategy of learning music art to improve student achievement in SMP Negeri 13 Pekanabaru, some conclusions can be drawn such as the following: Learning preparation strategies. The main step shown by the teacher with the preparation of lesson plans that is oriented towards the curriculum and syllabus used. The RPP lists the strategies and methods of learning that are applied. Management strategies in each class. Teachers teach with different methods for each class because each class has different characters. Strategy for using learning media. The teacher leads to preparation and utilizing media and learning tools that are in accordance with the material and facilities available in the school's music lab. Strategy approach to motivate students. To motivate students, the teacher takes a personal, group and functional approach. The strategy of motivational approaches by teachers is supported by school participation by providing a means of supporting good learning. Strategy for evaluation and value taking. In this strategy the teacher holds a score not only in the UTS and UAS, but by holding a daily test after the completion of Basic Competence. The teacher also conducts assessments at any time in the learning process takes place by looking at the students' responses, seeing the answers to oral questions from the teacher. The results of the evaluation will be followed up by the teacher as the stage of learning learning. Strategies for developing students' musical art learning experiences. In this strategy the teacher develops student learning activities, by increasing the learning activities of music practice compared to learning music theory, but by not putting aside the theory that remains present throughout the course of learning. In addition, there are also many activities or activities supporting the achievement of students' musical arts achievements at school.

This chapter offers an insight into racial debates and equality advocacy in the 21st century and explores the emergence, the becoming and long-lasting effect of #BlackLivesMatter. The hashtag story is a traditional viral web content. Nevertheless, technologies allowed these initially local concerns, to become a world-wide plea. The first section summarises the past and current struggle for civil rights and equality in the USA. The second one focuses on the European reception of the hashtag in two structurally different countries. The last section discusses both outcomes and consequences in terms of social policies and international advocacy. A journalistic and critical analysis of the movement is here provided, with long term effects and reception case studies.

Drawing upon a collection of oral history interviews, this paper offers an insight into entrepreneurial and residential patterns and behaviour amongst Turkish Muslims in the German city of Bremen. The academic literature has traditionally argued that Turkish migrants in Germany have been pushed into self-employment, low-quality housing and segregated neighbourhoods as a result of discrimination, and poor employment and housing opportunities. Yet the interviews reveal the extent to which Bremen’s Turkish Muslims’ performances and experiences have overwhelmingly been the consequences of personal choices and ambitions. For many of the city’s Turkish Muslim entrepreneurs, self-employment had been a long-term objective, and they have succeeded in establishing and running their businesses in the manner they choose with regards to location and clientele, for example. Similarly, interviewees stressed the way in which they were able to shape their housing experiences by opting which districts of the city to live in and by purchasing property. On the whole, they perceive their entrepreneurial and residential practices as both consequences and mediums of success, integration and a loyalty to the city of Bremen. The findings are contextualised within the wider debate regarding the long-term legacy of Germany’s post-war guest-worker system and its position as a “country of immigration”.
