It is free for authors to publish their works.

We are inviting students or young researchers/educators to submit articles relevant to the following topics, but not limit to, in this special issue:

• Innovative architectures for ubiquitous learning systems
• Context-Aware support for MULE (architectures, examples, techniques ...)
• Instructional design approaches for MULE
• Design of (virtual/real-world) learning objects meta-data in MULE
• Extending awareness, contextualization and collaboration in MULE
• Intelligent support for MULE (user modeling, profiling ...)
• Inclusive and assistive mobile learning
• Content management and delivery for learning on mobile devices
• Collaborative and social mobile learning
• Blended learning with mobile and fixed technologies
• Mobile social media & user generated content
• Specific learning-theoretical foundations of MULE
• Educational applications using mobile and ubiquitous technologies in specific locations or for bridging learning experiences between locations such as classrooms, museums, libraries, ...

The MEEM publishes three types of articles:

• Regular papers (5 or more pages)
• Short papers (around 3 pages)
