mLearning in education: a summary
(2006)
Abstract
This review summarises the current situation of mlearning in Australia, identifying government mlearning initiatives and considering the following: delivery issues; the digital divide (access, ICT literacy and information literacy); content issues (available, affordable and appropriate); national strategies (integration, coordination); worldwide mLearning. The authors conclude that education can benefit from using emerging mobile technologies to deliver learning matched to the increasingly 'neomillennial' learning styles of their students. They assert that mLearning is a collection of pieces to be fitted to a learning need, not a single solution. Good teachers, communication, collaboration and stimulating activities are essential.
