Abstract: This study highlights the challenges faced in providing professional development programs for teachers, including limited resources and conventional training methods. Mobile technology, with its flexibility and cost-effectiveness, is increasingly being used as a part of professional development programs, but existing frameworks do not adequately support the integration of technology. This study proposes a mobile-based training certification framework that includes support for mobile phones, a training curriculum and assessment, expert support, and CPD evaluation. The framework was piloted with 35 participants from Pakistan and Saudi Arabia, with positive results indicating that mobile-based training is effective in enhancing teachers’ learning outcomes. According to the teachers’ responses, 100% agreed that this was a groundbreaking endeavor and expressed excitement to use it. Additionally, 98% found mobile learning easier and more enjoyable than traditional methods. The study recommends the implementation of the mobile-based training certification framework to improve teachers’ professional development and bridge the gap between traditional training methods and the needs of modern-day educators. The study also highlights the potential of mobile-based training to improve student outcomes by developing the knowledge and skills of teachers.

Abstract: This study investigates the role of mobile technology in the three stages (pre-visit, during-visit, and post-visit) of nature-based tourism (NBT) experiences. By employing collaborative autoethnography and reflexive thematic data analysis, this research explored the NBT experiences of four researchers who participated in a nature-based trek. The findings revealed that in the pre-visit stage, mobile technologies enhanced the NBT experience by enabling the flow of information for planning and mediating the anticipated experiences. Mobile technologies supported tracking well-being, documenting, and sharing the experience online in the during-visit stage. In the post-visit stage, mobile technologies allowed for reliving, reflecting, and sharing the experience. Using mobile technology in this NBT experience also led to some negative experiences, specifically interruptions that resulted in some participants' inability to truly immerse themselves in the experience. This study adds to the existing body of literature on NBT, highlighting the implications of technology, particularly mobile technology, for NBT experiences that can be capitalised on by visitors and destinations/service providers. The study provides important managerial implications that suggest mobile technology can influence the experience in the three stages of an NBT experience. In the pre-visit stage, destinations/service providers must provide information (e.g., on the website) that is essential in planning the experience. In this stage, marketing the experience to attract visitors is also essential, leaving clues to create anticipation for the experience. In responding to the during-visit stage, creating photo opportunities and placing information about the place (e.g., flora and fauna) and identifying the area of internet availability will enhance not only the during-visit stage but also the post-visit stage when viewing and sharing the photos to reflect and relive the experience. The study also offers opportunities for how mobile technology can be used for sustainable tourism.

Abstract: Abstract Background: People experiencing substance use disorders (SUD) face myriad challenges in maintaining changes in substance use after treatment. Mobile phones can play a role in supporting the recovery process. To date, research has not explored how individuals use mobile phones to seek social support as they enter SUD recovery. Objectives: We sought to understand how individuals in SUD treatment use mobile technology in support of their recovery. Methods: We conducted semi-structured interviews with thirty individuals in treatment for any SUD in northeastern Georgia and southcentral Connecticut. Interviews explored participants’ attitudes toward mobile technology and how they used mobile technology while using substances, in treatment, and in recovery. Qualitative data were coded and analyzed using thematic analysis. Results: We identified three major themes related to how participants: (1) adapted their use of mobile technology as they entered recovery, (2) relied on mobile technology for social support while in recovery, while (3) some found aspects of mobile technology triggering. Many individuals in SUD treatment reported using mobile phones to buy or sell drugs; as such, they took measures to adapt their use of mobile technology as they changed substance use behaviors. As they entered recovery, individuals relied on mobile phones for affiliational, emotional, informational, and instrumental support, though some did share they found some aspects of mobile phones triggering. Conclusion: These findings highlight the importance of treatment providers engaging in conversations around mobile phone use to help individuals avoid triggers and connect with social supports. These findings uncover new opportunities for recovery support interventions utilizing mobile phones as a delivery mechanism.

Abstract: This paper reports on teachers’ experiences of a 10-week, wiki-based, predominantly mobile science education intervention for secondary school students. It was designed to shift traditional pedagogical approaches towards more inquiry-based approaches by combining the strengths of wikis and mobile smart devices. The four participating Macau science teachers, with shared responsibility for 250 students, noted greater student engagement and reported some shifts towards more constructivist pedagogy and more active student learning. Evidence emerged of the value of personalization, collaboration, online feedback, and authentic learning, but the lack of mobile optimization of the wiki platform negatively impacted the degree of personalization, collaboration and authenticity. Lessons were learned about the need for educational technology interventions to carefully consider the intersection between software and hardware; the reasons for the recent decline of wikis as educational tools; and the ongoing educational value of web 2.0-style collaboration in our increasingly mobile era.

Abstract: As part of import substitution and the need to take a leading position in the production of medicines in the Russian pharmaceutical industry, clinical trials of drugs using mobile technologies are beginning to be carried out. Technological changes are accompanied by a transformation in the relationship between the doctor and the patient, where the patient becomes an active rather than a passive participant in the process. The key factors in the effectiveness of interaction are trust in the doctor and the degree of satisfaction with the healthcare system. In clinical trials using mobile technologies, the doctor-patient dyad is significantly expanded and includes the staff of the sponsoring organization, researchers who collect information about the participant’s condition using a mobile device, the participant reporting his/her conditions through mobile device, as well as family and medical staff providing additional information about the participant. It is necessary to study the factors of trust to health care provider in non-personal interaction and building the grounds to motivate doctors’ and patients’ usage of mobile technologies. The usage of mobile technologies makes it possible to reduce the “professional burnout syndrome” of health care providers from the repetitive nature of communication and replace it with digital technologies; makes it possible to receive information online and feedback from patients; increases adherence to treatment and adherence to doctor’s recommendations. The benefits of constant contact between the doctor and the patient through mobile technologies will contribute to building more trust in their interaction and increase satisfaction of the population with the quality of medical services.

Abstract: Mobile technologies are evident in all sectors, and this is also a reality in tourism. Tourists are increasingly using their smartphones for different functions and purposes, from planning trips to browsing destinations. Mobile technology is also an ally in outdoor activities. Thus, this study sought to understand, through a systematic review, how mobile technologies are being approached in outdoor tourism literature. The analysis was conducted with twenty-four articles indexed in the Web of Science and published in the last five years (2018–2022). The first finding is the small number of specific articles on outdoor tourism, even when adding the terms nature-based or adventure tourism. The main reasons why outdoor tourists use mobile technology during their activities are communication, navigation, feeling safe, boredom relief, and taking photos Thus, there is a need for more research to better understand the benefits and risks of the use of mobile technology in outdoor activities and most of the analysed articles presented a quantitative approach.
