International Association for Development of the Information Society, Paper presented at the International Association for Development of the Information Society (IADIS) International Conference on Mobile Learning (11th, Madeira, Portugal, Mar 14-16, 2015)
This paper analyses mobile computer supported collaborative learning in elementary education worldwide focusing on technology trends for the period from 2009 to 2014. The results present representation of device types used to support collaborative activities, their distribution per users (1:1 or 1:m) and if students are learning through or around the technology. The major findings show that in the last five years tablet computers and small handheld devices are used nearly with equal frequency as mobile learning devices, mostly in 1:1 distribution simultaneously being an instrument through which collaborative activities are performed.
