More empirically-based studies in technology-mediated contexts are needed to sustain a
long-term research agenda. This will likely involve all the technological means available
in
order to capture, analyse and understand the subtle and sophisticated patterns of
interaction in multimodal learning environments. Such means may include video-capture,
eye-tracking,
multimodal tracking techniques, image interpretation,
gesture monitoring
and so forth.
Contextual understanding also extends beyond the technology itself. Whereas face-to-
face language learning typically occurs with a group in a classroom, technology-mediated
learning contexts are highly variable. With mobile technologies
especially the locations
for learning are almost endless. Productive research agendas will need to account for
salient factors for learning inherent in the setting such
as indeterminate time on task,
interruptions and the like. These conditions in turn may lead to conceptualising language
learning materials in new ways.
