Building a sustainable mobile learning environment
Overview
The latest advances in mobile communications technology are having a significant
impact on teaching and learning around the world. Millions of people already use
mobile phones, PDAs, netbooks, laptops, MP3 players and handheld games consoles,
and now these technologies can be used to access educational content on the
move.
However, the challenges of creating an effective mobile learning capability can
seem significant.

programme, developed a distinctive approach to supporting education and training
organisations as they engage with technology enhanced learning.
