Mobile technology for interpreter education

What is it about?

We used mobile applications to provide professional development to American Sign Language and Ghanaian Sign Language interpreters in an action research pilot study. We analyzed surveys, discussions, and reflections to identify the types of technologies employed, challenges encountered, evidence of learning, and collegial interactions. While the outcomes were successful, findings indicate feasibility is still dependent on several factors.
