The development of an ID model for collaborative learning in mobile learning environments

Abstract

This study involves the development and validation of an Instructional Design (ID) model for collaborative learning in mobile learning (m-learning) environment. The study's phases consist of the following: three round Delphi method and validation of the formulated ID model. Collaborative learning model is involved into the ID model of this study. The ID model plays an essential role for collaborative learning in planning, implementing, and evaluating teaching and learning activities using mobile devices systematically. In addition, as innovative technologies such as clouding computing and social networking services change current teaching and learning environments, it is needed to offer teachers diverse instructional supports and develop the instructional design model for collaborative learning in m-learning environments. Thus, the results of this study can be utilized as meaningful resources for specific realization of the model.
