Mobile Learning is one area of learning still in its infancy. Recently at the ED MEDIA World Conference in Vancouver, BC many presenters shared ideas on how mobile learning enhances and enriches learning by extending learning beyond the classroom walls.
Mobile Learning is not an 'instead of' technology- it's more an 'in addition to' for the learning process and with the emergence of cellular devices, such as the new iPhone, Mobile Learning has the potential to connect the always-on students of today with their learning - wherever & whenever they are.
Mobile Learning is also a great way to connect people in hard-to reach, geographically isolated- remote areas with learning resources. Think about that potential!
If you're plaanning on being in the Malaysia area in August put this conference on your calendar - 1st Asia Pacific Regional Mobile Learning & Edutainment Conference. It will enlighten you as to how mobile learning can enhance students' learning and "it will also help in understanding of the challenges faced in providing technology tools to support the learning process and ease the creation of instruction material using mobile technologies..."
Gee I wish I could go along with you...
