Although mobile technologies are relatively new, they have quickly become ubiquitous in education, despite a limited evidence base for their efficacy in instructional design. This chapter discusses differentiated instruction for the inclusive classroom and how this can be best accomplished using mobile technology as an educational tool. Using mobile computing devices such as the iPad in differentiated instruction has many advantages, but is not without challenges. Many of these challenges can be addressed using suggestions from previous research in the areas of differentiated instruction and educational technology. Future research is necessary to provide a solid evidence-base supporting the use of mobile technology with diverse learners in all levels of classroom instruction.

Access To Data

The continued evolution of mobile technology provides for new means of interaction and engagement in our daily lives. The interconnectedness, availability, and rapid adoption of mobile computing means users can expect to have access to data and information on their terms. Likewise, games and means of play are increasingly common on mobile devices. This chapter seats a discussion of mobile game development within the context of place and space to reveal how we can improve our understanding of mobile interaction and begin to merge our view of physical and digital spaces. By applying the ideas of place and space to mobile game development, game applications can encourage users to broaden their view of the spaces around them and strengthen the developments of interactions in a mobile world.

There have been significant advances in mobile technologies in recent years. The euphoric technology void left by the dot-com crash in early 2000 soured many technology users; however mobile computing has provided much needed enthusiasm for both technologists and business users. In this chapter we focus on aspects of mobile technology, from both a business user perspective and a technology view point. Aspects such as total cost of ownership, return on investment and capital investment have been discussed from a financial perspective. Technical aspects of running and maintaining a mobile technology infrastructure have also been explored. The chapter concludes with a review of potential areas of application for mobile technology. The area discussed is mobile technologies in banking; however, many of the aspects covered could easily be applied to any other business vertical.Finally, this chapter is not meant to be a holy grail for mobile computing. It is simply a glimpse of the need to explore the power of this emerging technology.

In today’s digital economy and the extended enterprise paradigm, mobility is on the rise. It is important to perceive mobility as an opportunity, rather than a threat. Although m-commerce is still at its infancy, it serves as an extension to e-commerce sites—it has been regarded as a value-added service. However, there are many issues and challenges while reaping full benefits of mobile computing solutions for m-commerce. This is because mobility and mobile computing is replete with many challenges on the business front, technical challenges as well as social challenges. This chapter undertakes discussion on understanding mobility and categories of mobile user types, understanding the meaning of m-commerce. Typical applications that support the m-commerce paradigm are illustrated through case studies. The chapter ends with a discussion on legal implications of mobile technology, and future directions for mobile commerce and mobile computing. The key message is that mobility is not just about connectivity—it is about function it provides and the way organizations work in today’s digital economy.

Streamlining supply chains is a high priority for corporations. In a volatile economy, customer satisfaction, market share and revenue growth become dependent on getting the right product to the right place at the right time. As a result, the notion of adaptive supply chains is emerging as the next competitive battlefield. Fulfillment velocity, inventory visibility, and supplier coordination versatility form the three pillars of adaptive supply chains. To support these business objectives, traditional tethered computing models are inadequate. Untethered models, enabled by mobile computing, facilitate the improvement, management and re-design of next generation supply chains. In this chapter, we examine the different ways mobility is morphing supply chain applications. Specifically, we show how mobile technology and infrastructure is transforming the key areas of procurement, supply execution, supply chain visibility and after-sales service management.

What does the 3rd wave of mobile computing hold for us, and what are the challenges ahead as we now move from the 1st and 2nd wave to the 3rd wave of mobile HCI? While the 1st wave enabled mobile computing on a basic level – including basic connectivity and the development of mobile devices – and while the 2nd wave was to a large extent about the development of mobile content (from digital services and apps, to services for storing our data in the cloud), the authors suggest that the 3rd wave of mobile computing is less technology-driven, but rather about what mobile computing can enable, and how mobile computing is increasingly a gateway to society at large. In this article, the authors focus specifically on this 3rd wave of mobile computing, and in particular on what they call an inverted digital divide – a state where the mobile technology is in place for its users, but where there is no access to the services in society that rely on mobile computing. In this article, the authors demonstrate this inverted digital divide through a number of examples where they show how this plays out for different groups of people where this is vital in a global world – e.g., visitors to a country such as tourists, immigrants and even people applying for asylum. The authors discuss what is needed in order to bridge this divide and they outline its implications for the further development of mobile services. In concluding this paper, the authors suggest that “digital integration” might serve as a key notion for resolving these issues as we now enter the 3rd wave of mobile HCI.
