Why should we use mobiles?
Do we have a choice?
4.6 billion cell phones
3.3 billion unique cell phone users
One-third of students own and use internet services from a handheld device, with another third of students owning or planning to acquire a handheld, internet-capable device in the next 12 months. (ECAR, 2009)
Mobile is here to stay. We need to teach students how to use them as lifelong learners.
What can mobiles provide as learning tools?
Convergence devicesGreat for people on the go.Anytime, anywhere access to content.Can enhance interaction between and among
students and instructors.Great for just-in-time training or review of
content.Opportunities for spontaneous learningFacilitate collaboration through synchronous
and asynchronous communication.
