Mobile and wearable devices, social networking and cloud computing platforms, and other recently emerging technologies are beginning to be adopted as educational tools by innovative educators and institutions around the world. To scale up these initiatives, there is a pressing need to harness research studies with solid theoretical underpinnings and empirically validated practical recommendations to inform learning designs. This special issue of Interactive Technology and Smart Education provides an update on contemporary theories of, and practices with, mobile and emerging technologies in education, with a particular focus on evolving design frameworks, considered alongside exemplary cases of the adoption of new technologies for teaching and learning. This ebook consists of a selection of papers from the 3rd International Mobile Learning Festival (IMLF) held in 2016 on the theme of Mobile Learning, Emerging Learning Design and Learning 2.0.
