the first viewpoint sees mobile learning from the outside-in and explores the profound impact of pervasive and near-universal mobile technologies across most of the world’s societies and cultures on the nature and at the impact of these on notions of education and learning, and the synergy with new technologies
the second viewpoint, perhaps inside-out, looks at the growing ability of practitioners, researchers and developers to define the unique contributions that mobile learning, as currently exemplified by pilots and projects globally, can make to diverse groups

SMS Riot: Transmitting Race on Sydney Beach11 December 2005, as Sydney was settling into early summer haze, there was a race riot on the popular Cronulla beach in the city’s southern suburbs. Hundreds of people, young men especially, gathered for a weekend protest. Their target and pretext were visitors from the culturally diverse suburbs to the west, and the need to defend their women and beaches in the face of such unwelcome incursions and behaviours. In the ensuing days, there were violent raids and assaults criss-crossing back and forth across Sydney’s beaches and suburbs, involving almost farcical yet deadly earnest efforts to identify, respectively, people of “anglo” or “Middle Eastern” appearance (often specifically “Lebanese”) and to threaten or bash them. At the very heart of this state of siege and the fear, outrage, and sadness that gripped those living in Sydney were the politics of transmission. The spark that set off this conflagration was widely believed to have been caused by the transmission of racist and violent “calls to arms” via mobile text messages.

access to information, data, knowledge is …..
• easy and convenient– but chunked & structured
differently– & consumed differently
