Highlights
Mobile learning as a research field can be traced back to the 1990s (Soloway et al, 1999)
From our own past design-based research experiences we are aware of some of the challenges associated with the enterprise of designing innovative and sustainable learning activities such as informing design with learning theories, grounding it in sound pedagogical principles, building design on current pedagogical practices and facilitating the use of technology by means of robust and usable mobile devices
As an attempt to address these challenges, in this paper we introduced a methodological framework (LEAD) within design-based research
Summary
This article introduces the Learning Activity Design (LEAD) framework for the development and implementation of mobile learning activities in primary schools. The LEAD framework is grounded in four design projects conducted over a period of six years It contributes a new understanding of the intricacies and multifaceted aspects of the design-process characterizing the development and implementation of mobile devices (i.e. smart phones and tablets) in curricular activities conducted in Swedish primary schools. This framework is intended to provide both designers and researchers with methodological tools that take account of the pedagogical foundations of technologically-based educational interventions, usability issues related to the interaction with the mobile application developed, multiple data streams generated during the design project, multiple stakeholders involved in the design process and sustainability aspects of the mobile learning activities implemented in the school classroom
