Mobile technologies are an important part of our daily life and we carry them all the time with us. Mobile learning is already used a lot in informal and non-formal learning, but in the context of formal learning it´s till now not much used. The projekt MINE (mobile learning in higher education) aims to increase the use of mobile technologies in higher education. it´s not about developing a new app, standard applications will be used for mobile learning, to ensure that a wide range of systems are supported and it also should be a smooth integration to the normal working and learning environment. The use of mobile learning in higher education should also increase the participation of the learner in the learning process. Within this project a curriculum for university teachers will be developed, to prepare university teachers with all competences they need to implement mobile learning in their teaching. But also students need some preparation because most of them are not used or have not enought media competences to use mobile learning. Because of that a second curriculum for a students course will be developed as well within this project.A lot of open educational resources will be produced as well in this project, specially to be used for mobile learning. Practical examples of mobile learning which can be easily adapted for other teaching subjects will be also produced and published in this project.This strategic partnership includes also an intensive programme, where the developed curriculum will be used to give university teachers and students the competences to use mobile learning. This group of early adapters will be later act as instructors in their home institution.All relevant documents and results of this project will be published under the creative commons license and can be downloaded from the project website.

The reason for undertaking this project is to bring curriculum reform for promoting active Civic Education (CE) in academic teacher training (TT) programs in IL and in GEO a quantum leap forward through:1. Developing and implementing a comprehensive program of courses and student activities that promotes civic education and behavior within our TT program.2. Integrating these courses into the curriculum in partner HEI.3. Faculty and in-service Teacher Workshops4. Courses and activities will integrate innovative pedagogy that will strengthen the aims and objectives of the courses (e.g. PBL, Service-Based Learning, VaKE; experiential and peer learning and teaching; integrating new technology in teaching and learning, etc.).5. Create course readers or kits that will enable other professionals and teachers to benefit from the CURE’s innovative courses.6. Establish an international network of professionals who collaborate together, share knowledge and good practices.7. Establish centers for promoting CE on HEI campuses.8. Create a website to disseminate program. 9. Publish results and strategies (online and hard copy): articles and handbooks. CURE’s curriculum reform will enhance the quality of CE in CURE's teacher-training programs both for our faculty as well as for our students, who are future educators of our societies. The faculty, teachers and students who benefit from CURE’s program will be able to effectively present, discuss and challenge the rudimentary notions of civic involvement in our society. Moreover as educators, they will help shape knowledge, perceptions and attitudes towards responsible citizenship within a democratic setting, encourage critical thought and enactment of civil rights, actions and duties within their own classrooms thus sustaining and multiplying the program aims.
