Abstract
Innovative changes to teaching environments have been challenging to implement and sustain in higher education. Some institutions have turned to mobile learning programs to implement innovative practices. However, few studies focus on leadership's role and the organizational characteristics found in such programs. The purpose of this qualitative, multi-site case study is to explore the use of mobile learning practices at three small, private universities in the United States of America, to understand how the influence of leadership on faculty supports the goal of advancing innovative practices. This study aims to address the central question of how administrators and faculty use mobile learning practices to advance innovation across the university. This study seeks to explore sub-questions related to the relationships that exist between administrators and faculty, organizational changes that foster or inhibit innovation, and the types of educational leadership styles found in each of the participating universities.
