ISSN: 2326-9022</p>
<p>The <b>Advances in Educational Marketing, Administration, & Leadership (AEMAL)</b> Book Series strives to provide publications that address all these areas and present trending, current research to assist professionals, administrators, and others involved
in the education sector in making their decisions.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">* * *</p>
<p>In its Commission Work Programme 2013, the European Commission (2012) states that:</p>
<p>“Education and training systems are not keeping up with changing labour market needs – resulting in shortages in key areas like science, mathematics and e-skills. Higher education is not sufficiently connected to research and innovation activities and is
slow to build capacity in areas like ICT – which both reflects and contributes to a lack of internationalization. Life-long learning is still developing, and public policy and business practices do not reflect the need for older workers to extend their working
careers” (p.7).</p>
<p>The evolution of information technologies, mobile devices and social media as well as the needs of students, workers and academics has experienced rapid changes in the last years. This complex and dynamic reality requires new forms of delivery of learning
contents to students, the building of special learning environments and new teaching methodologies for academics. Old teaching practices (from the building of teaching material to the evaluation processes and tutorial services) need to be adapted to provide
customized and context adapted learning opportunities. There are drivers, barriers and success factors of distance and mobile learning that need to be explored, such as widespread availability or the lack of policy support.</p>
<p>European Commission has funded a number of successful R&D projects focused on mobile learning and several EU countries (such as Denmark, The Netherlands and UK) have supported the used of mobile learning in schools and universities.</p>
<p>The purpose of this book is to analyze the challenges of the new labour market, policies for the new educational challenges, future roles of academic staff, and challenges of distance and mobile learning in higher education today. The book will reveal real
experiences of higher education institutions and academics implementing distance and mobile education courses.</p>
