[AISWorld] Call for expressions of interest to host mLearn 2023

[David Parsons]

The International Association for Mobile Learning (IAmLearn) is seeking
Expressions of Interest to host the mLearn conference in 2023. mLearn is
the leading annual international conference for researchers, policy makers,
educators, developers and solutions providers in the fields of mobile,
ubiquitous and contextual learning and learning with emerging ambient
technologies.

The mLearn conference series has an established relationship with the
official journal of IAmLearn, the International Journal of Mobile and
Blended Learning (IJMBL). This is the leading journal in mobile learning,
indexed in all the leading indices including Web of Science, Scopus,
PsycINFO and the ACM digital library. In line with established practice,
organisers can anticipate a peer-reviewed Special Issue coming out of the
conference, thus incentivizing academic contributions.

Guidelines for Expressions of Interest
Expressions of interest should be submitted to IAmLearn Vice President Dr.
Dean Cristol by email at cristol.2 at osu.edu by the 30th of April 2022. The
Expressions of Interest will be assessed by the IAmLearn Executive
