This document discusses the pedagogical approach of simultaneity, especially in the context of mobile learning. It involves layered realities of time, space, and presence. Knowledge emerges through complexity, ambiguity, and human experiences. The principles of trust, discussion and collage are proposed to facilitate learning through movement and authentic activities outside the classroom using mobile technologies and fieldwork. Students are organized into small groups to carry out field activities documenting their experiences using smartphones, tablets and other tools, and sharing results through agreed-upon online platforms. Activities are then debriefed and conclusions drawn to wrap up the learning experience.

2. Pedagogy of Simultaneity (PoS)
(Out of the classroom)

3. Why PoS (i.e. trust, discussion
and collage)?
!
Layered reality
- time layers,
- space/place layers
- presence layers
!
- Emergence - becoming of knowledge, skills, resources ...
everything ... curriculum, subjects, methods ... learning, learners,
teaching, teachers ... technology ...
- Complexity - multi-factored, multi-explained
(ambiguous), multi-experienced
- Humaneness - presence-absence of emotions,
thoughts and intentions

4. By trust, discussion and collage to learning
in movement (mobile), in authentic realms and activities,
out of the class

6. TO FIELDS; training in practice
1. Form seven about 5 attendants´ small groups.
2. Decide inside the group the theme(s) via which
to carry out the field activity.
3. Choose environment(s)/niche(s) where to execute
the field activity (city region/route; campus
building(s) and some specific tagets in them (if
possible).
4. Figure out the mobile tools to use for field
documentation.
5. Agree on what platform (Twitter hashtag, FB group,
Google + community) the small group(s) share(s)
documentation).

7. Debriefing
!
- the field activity outcomes are looked through
and discussed by agreed way
Wrapping up
!
- the conclusions by silent discussion method
