<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Candara, sans-serif;">In its Commission Work Programme 2013, the European Commission (2012) states that:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Candara, sans-serif;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Candara, sans-serif;">“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).<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Candara, sans-serif;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Candara, sans-serif;">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.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Candara, sans-serif;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Candara, sans-serif;">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.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Candara, sans-serif;">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.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
