Research Skills for Information Management: Uses of Mobile Devices in Research Training

Although we live in a knowledge society, instruction in research is still given traditionally. Mobile devices are present in learning processes, but their possibilities for research have not been broadly explored. This paper explores the research skills that could be supported using information comm...
