The CoMo project, funded by the Centre for Distance Education, University of London, aims to investigate how distance learners can be supported in their collaborative group work using mobile devices. The objectives are as follows: * Iteratively co-design and develop a set of collaborative mobile phone-based group work activities (with students and course leaders) * Determine the ways in which the activities provide students with opportunities to reflect on their practices * Identify distance learners' and tutors' experiences of these activities in support of distance learning * Reflect on our design process and evaluate the activities enabling the production of 'lessons learnt', detailing how the activities enhanced (or not) student learning.
