Mobiles Education

Report

Recent changes in device technology and the adoption rates and market development for mobile devices have converged with changes in both the strategic direction of post-16 education and some aspects of pedagogy. This presents an increased need for education professionals to be aware of, and engaged in, the development of the applications and uses of such devices. The first major driver in this convergence process is the widespread adoption of mobile devices, particularly phones. This report – although UK-centric – has global relevance in the application of emerging mobile technology in education.
