Am Beginn des 21. Jahrhunderts fungieren MP3-Player, Handy oder Laptop als stete Begleiter des Menschen. Jedoch fanden bereits zuvor zahlreiche elektronische Geräte als »Portables« ihren mobilen Platz in Transport- und Kleidungstaschen oder direkt am Körper. Ihr ortsunabhängiger Gebrauch veränderte Vorstellungen von »privat« und »öffentlich«, von Körper, Technik und Identität. Anhand der Produktkultur und Aneignungsgeschichte von Kofferradio, Kassettenrekorder und Walkman sowie dem Handy analysiert dieses Buch die mit Portables eingeübten neuen Formen des Technikgebrauchs, des sozialen Miteinanders und der Mobilität und stellt damit die aktuelle Debatte um eine »mobile Revolution« erstmals in eine historische Perspektive. »Technikgeschichte ist mithin immer Kulturgeschichte. Dieser informative Band erläutert das am Beispiel der tragbaren Geräte [...], die die zweite Hälfte des 20. Jhdts. geprägt haben.« Oliver Neumann, lehrerbibliothek.de, 10.02.2009 »Originell und zukunftsweisend ist der theoretische Ansatz der Arbeit [...]. Das Buch liefert ausgesprochen sachkundig eine große Fülle Detailinformationen [...].« Nicola Döring, M & K, 1 (2009) »Alles in allem bietet das Buch eine interessante Herangehensweise und einen tiefgehenden Einblick in die Kultur- und Technikgeschichte mobiler Konsumtechnik.« Cornelia Fabian, H-Soz-u-Kult, 25.06.2010 »›The Promise of Mobile Freedom‹ is an intriguing cultural history of portable technologies, and readers will profit both from the empirical case studies and from the theoretical reflections of user de-signs.« Stefan Krebs, Technology and Culture, 51/7 (2010) »Das Buch stellt einen lesenswerten Beitrag zur Aufarbeitung der Technik-, Konsum- und Mediengeschichte des letzten Jahrhunderts dar.« Matthias Kuzina, MEDIENwissenschaft, 3 (2010) »Heike Weber zeigt in ihrer Publikation, was Sachkulturforschung in unserem von technischen Medien geprägten Alltag meinen kann und wie viel Potenzial die Geschichte der altvertrauten Kommunikationsmedien Radio und Telefon birgt. Mit einem überzeugenden Analysekonzept untersucht sie das Verhältnis von Mensch und Technik.« Lioba Nägele, Zeitschrift für Volkskunde, 106/2 (2010) Besprochen in: Technikgeschichte, 76/2 (2009), Monika Röther Universitas, 752 (2009), Karlheinz Geißler Soziologische Revue, 33 (2010) NTM, 4 (2010), Alexander Badenoch Radio-Kurier, 4 (2012), Marcel Goerke

Mobile learning has become one of the more influential aspects of the field of educational technology, given the ubiquity of modern mobile devices and proliferation of educational applications or ‘apps’. Within this volume, there are a range of studies and reviews which cover a breadth of current topics in the field, namely user motivations for using mobile learning, issues in evaluation, as well as domain-specific considerations (e.g., use within language learning or audio-based applications). Together, these studies represent the synthesis of a range of methods, approaches, and applications that highlight benefits and areas of future growth of mobile technologies and how they can be useful and most effective in education.

Create reliable, robust, and efficient Android apps with industry-standard design patterns About This Book Create efficient object interaction patterns for faster and more efficient Android development Get into efficient and fast app development and start making money from your android apps Implement industry-standard design patterns and best practices to reduce your app development time drastically Who This Book Is For This book is intended for Android developers who have some basic android development experience. Basic Java programming knowledge is a must to get the most out of this book. What You Will Learn Build a simple app and run it on real and emulated devices Explore the WYSIWYG and XML approaches to material design provided within Android Studio Detect user activities by using touch screen listeners, gesture detection, and reading sensors Apply transitions and shared elements to employ elegant animations and efficiently use the minimal screen space of mobile devices Develop apps that automatically apply the best layouts for different devices by using designated directories Socialize in the digital word by connecting your app to social media Make your apps available to the largest possible audience with the AppCompat support library In Detail Are you an Android developer with some experience under your belt? Are you wondering how the experts create efficient and good-looking apps? Then your wait will end with this book! We will teach you about different Android development patterns that will enable you to write clean code and make your app stand out from the crowd. The book starts by introducing the Android development environment and exploring the support libraries. You will gradually explore the different design and layout patterns and get to know the best practices of how to use them together. Then you'll then develop an application that will help you grasp activities, services, and broadcasts and their roles in Android development. Moving on, you will add user-detecting classes and APIs such as gesture detection, touch screen listeners, and sensors to your app. You will also learn to adapt your app to run on tablets and other devices and platforms, including Android Wear, auto, and TV. Finally, you will see how to connect your app to social media and explore deployment patterns as well as the best publishing and monetizing practices. The book will start by introducing the Android development environment and exploring the support l...
