Mobile Learning is the latest evolution of e-learning. It's a technology
that spans the spectrum of mobile devices from simple SMS 'phones to high
specification PDAs, with pedagogic applications including computer science
undergraduates at risk, lifelong learners in rural communities, commuters
doing business courses and homeless young people improving their literacy
and numeracy.
This one-day workshop will bring together a number of leading practitioners
from current projects in the growing field of mobile-learning in UK
Further and Higher Education. Some of these projects are working at the
technological cutting-edge whilst others are working with blends of existing
technologies, including PCs and VLEs. The focus of the day will on the
practical issues of what's been done, how was it done, did it work and how
did we find out.
