<span style="font-size: 10pt;">The Android platform
is among the leading mobile learning technologies and there are 600,000+ apps
available for it. The paper examines and evaluates how contemporary teaching
and learning environments can effectively and inexpensively utilize selective
sets of Android apps to respond demands for the provision of 21st</span><span style="font-size: 10pt;"> Century
skills. </span><span style="font-size: 10pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 10pt;">The paper focuses on a review of
specific Android apps which can be used for teaching, planning, content
development, assessment and evaluation. A simple graphical user interface (GUI)
builder for the Android platform is also discussed. The paper suggests that Android
apps consist inexpensive, engaging and dynamic learning tools on which online
and distance education, as well as physical learning and teaching environments,
can be based.</span></span><br />

<i>Technoscapes of the Digi-Sapiens </i>investigates the various digital landscapes and realities emerging in our contemporary world dominated by digital technologies and on how we can understand and analyze these as the new environments of digital learning. These emerging digital <i>technoscapes</i> are the new spatial environments where digital information communication technologies and human consciousness are re-negotiated and merge to form a new world of representational reality characterized by high unpredictability and of unlimited choices and alternatives. The <i>Digi-Sapiens</i> emerges as a new form of humanity, the result of our continuous interaction and communication with digital technologies. We become the result of the expression of our unlimited imagination as this is transformed through diverse channels of communication. The processing of information and the production of social knowledge through the new media and emerging technologies become problematic areas as their vulnerability to exploitation and manipulation is revealed. This realization implicates the learning discourse in environments based on digital and information communication technologies. Our priorities as educators need to be critically reconsidered towards a theoretical spatial understanding of how information and knowledge are digitally reconstructed by digital and information communication technology systems. It is of crucial importance to understand how this affects processes of human information processing and that we need new conceptual analytical frameworks to respond to emerging and future teaching and learning demands.<br />

<br />
<span style="color:#000000;"></span><span style="color:#000000;">The paper adopts a postmodern spatial theoretical perspective on the structure and organization of information and production of knowledge in digital and electronic communication environments. It challenges the validity and credibility of information and knowledge is such environments and calls for a radical reconsideration of their definition within the context of global electronic communication and information communication technologies. The issues of virtuality and hyperreality are discussed in the context of digital learning. The paper calls for fresh thinking alternatives and suggests an in-depth analysis and a framing of the organization of information systems which leads to a proposal of a theoretical framework of how information, knowledge and the process of learning can be understood within and with information communication technologies.<br />

<br />
The paper reports on the underlying principles of a philosophical study on the structure and organization of the system of information and social knowledge in learning environments based on digital and electronic communication. It calls for a reconsideration of our views in dealing with the application of information communication technologies and it provides the theoretical background towards the development of an analytical model for information and knowledge in digital and electronic learning environments. The paper reports on the primary hypotheses established to support a series of theoretical approximations on the structure and organization of information, on the new dimensions of [hyper] reality and on the fractalization of social knowledge. The proposed model of Infogramic Analysis aims to advance our understanding of how learning occurs in digital communication and of how information communication technologies in digital and electronic communication based learning environments re-organize our representations and ‘realities’ of the world within and around </span><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">us, and consequently dictate and influence decisions of social action.<br />

The paper adopts a Lefebvrian view of spatiality and proposes a novel spatial perspective in thinking about how the application of information communication technologies affects the flow of information and implicates the construction of knowledge in digital and electronic communication based learning environments. Infogramic Analysis is proposed as an analytical model of theoretical approximations, which aims to advance our understanding of how learning occurs in digital communication and of how information communication technologies in digital and electronic communication based learning environments organize our representations and realities of the world within and around us, and consequently necessitate and direct decisions of social action.</span></div><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Based on a Lefebvrian view of spatiality, the paper endeavors to offer a spatial understanding of how information and knowledge are digitally reconstructed by ICT systems. It proposes an analytical model of theoretical approximations of learning in ICT learning environments, termed Infogramic Analysis.

The paper calls for a fresh new perspective in thinking about the application of ICTs in post-modern learning environments. Adopting a Lefebvrian view of theoretical approximations, it sets the challenge to reconsider the value of available information and knowledge in the context of global electronic communication. It aims to establish a spatial theoretical understanding of the digital reorganization of information and knowledge by ICT systems. It is argued that the reconsideration of our daily digital environments and informational landscapes must proceed from an in-depth analysis and a ‘framing’ of the organization of information systems.<br />

<em>Fractal Fetishes</em> is a philosophical investigation of the nature and organization of the system of information. The book argues that digital technologies have brought about the genesis of a world in which the global system of information constructs unchallenged conceptual misrecognitions and logically unjustified receptions of social knowledge. The book contends that as fractalized information establishes new relations of meanings and understandings of the world, we need novel ways of thinking in order to survive in an informational ocean of lived illusions and lost meanings. Our priority should be to reset collective and individual standards in a redefinition of the content of available bodies of social knowledge in a global context. The discussion focuses on the concept of information and leads to a series of theoretical proposals regarding the structure and organization of the system of information. It is argued that social knowledge implodes towards states of genuine fractal infogramic formations and mutates to digital illusions, altered states of reality which dominate our so-conceived real and conceptual imaginations through daily communication practices and experiences.</div>
