Mobile at Bond
Drivers
• January 2010 mLearning@Bond Academic Discussion Group
• July 2010 mLearning report tabledThe advice of the mLearning@Bond Group, therefore, is that Bond University should begin a steady investment that develops mLearning initiatives. The initiatives should cover both the flexible delivery of administrative information to students and the delivery of educational content. The aim must be to improve the student experience by making content and services available to our students in a way that enhances, but does not replace on-
campus engagement.
