Abstract
Higher education institutional partnerships are not purely educational enterprises but are multifaceted collaborations. This introduction outlines the preceding chapters that focus on relationships with nonprofit and profit organizations around mobile learning. The central goal that runs through the chapters is the preparation of students for the STEM focused global economy utilizing the ubiquitous nature of mobile devices. The higher education partnerships discussed in this section run the gamut from within higher education institutions to cross-national boundaries to P-12 school systems to the educational marketplace. The leading researchers from across the globe each address how to achieve better methods to use mobile technology in learning environments, while providing opportunities for future research focused on learning environments in profit and nonprofit organizations.
