The miniaturization of electronic devices and the convergence of technologies into portable devices and the smartphone have resulted in accessibility to all. These trends can transform the educational world. How have these trends affected the learning environment, pedagogy, educational structure, delivery systems, teachers/students, campus life, etc? To answer this question and other related questions, this track provides an avenue for researchers and developers to submit papers for review, presentation, discussion and ultimately, publication. <span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black'>Selected best papers from the Mobile/Wireless applications in Education/Pedagogy track will be invited to be extended and expedited through a review process for publication in the <b><i>International Journal of Information and Communication Technology Education</i></b>.
