About DEIMP

Project Summary

Do you want to learn more about how mobile technologies can enhance your teaching approaches and enrich the learning experiences of your students? This is the purpose of the DEIMP app and the online course that accompanies it.

Drawing upon sound theoretical principles and the latest research on what constitutes innovative practice in mobile learning, the app and the course will guide you in designing and evaluating learning activities that exploit all of the features of mobile devices in ways that will inspire and engage your students.

It will inspire you to explore new approaches to learning based on a set of validated principles and video vignettes that we hope will enable you to create and share your own video exemplars with an international network of practitioners and researchers.

Divided into four sections, the app and the course provide you with ideas and exemplars to get you started, help you design, create and evaluate your mobile pedagogies, and if you wish, share them with a growing community of like minded practitioners.

We hope you will find these resources useful and worthwhile and look forward to hearing back from you with your feedback and views about them and their value to you as a practitioner.

Project Activities

The project includes the following activities:

  • The creation of a multi-purpose mobile app that will support educators and pre-service teachers in designing and evaluating creative and innovative learning episodes for their students. The project team uses a design-based research methodology to design and construct the app over three iterative cycles.
  • A scoping report informing the app development, involving extensive consultation with experts in the field of mobile learning.
  • Multimedia case studies on the use of the app in 24 partner schools.
  • An online MOOC and various academic papers to disseminate the outputs and findings from the project with a wider audience.
